    THE LAW IS THE LAW!

    I
    really love this one.
    This is one of the better e-mails I have received in a long time!
    I hope this makes its way around Canadaseveral times over!

    So Be It!

    THE LAW IS THE LAW


    So if the
    Canadian government determines that it is against the law for the words'under God'to be on our money, then,so be it.

    And if that same government decides that the

    'Ten Commandments'are not to be used in or on
    a government installation, then, so be it.

    I say,
    'so be it,' because I would like to be a law abidingCDN citizen.

    I say,
    'so be it,'because I would like to think that smarter people than I are in positions to make good decisions.

    I would like to think that those people have the
    Canadian public's best interests at heart.






    BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE I'D LIKE?

    Since we can't pray to God,

    can't Trust in God and cannot post
    His Commandments in Government buildings,






    I don't believe the Government and its employees should participate in the Easter and Christmascelebrations
    which honor the God
    that
    our government is eliminating from many facets of Canadian life.

    I'd like my
    mail delivered on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving, & Easter.






    After all, it's just another day.

    I'd like the
    ' CND Supreme Court to be in session on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter as well as Sundays.'
    After all, it's just another day.

    I'd like the
    Senate and the House of Commons
    to not have to worryabout getting home for the'Christmas Break'
    After all it's just another day.

    I'm thinking that a lot of
    my taxpayer dollars could be saved,
    if all government offices & services would work
    on Christmas, Good Friday & Easter.
    It shouldn't cost any overtime
    since those would be
    just like any other day of the week
    to a government that is trying to be'politically correct.'

    In fact....

    I think that
    our government should work on Sundays
    (initially set aside for worshipping God...)
    because, after all,
    our government says that it should be just another day.....

    What do you all think????

    If this idea gets to enough people,
    maybe our elected
    officials will stop giving in to the 'minority opinions'
    and begin, once again,
    to represent the 'MAJORITY' of ALL of the Canadianpeople.

    SO BE IT...........

    Please Dear Lord,

    Give us the help needed to keep you in our country!
    'Amen' and 'Amen '



    These are definitely things I never thought about but from now on,
    I will be sure to question those in government who support these changes.

    At the top, it says

    'I hope this makes its way around CANADAseveral times over!!!!!'

    Let's see that it does.
    Amen and Amen!

    Rather interesting. Even if this is only a random incident it's still not acceptable. It won't hurt to do the 10 litre price check.


    Subject: Gas Pumps





    Cheating at the gas pumps (PRINT OUT YOUR RECEIPTS!!!)

    This email was sent to me by a friend whose cousin is the Ridgetown, Ont. fire captain.

    This is true. It happened to them three weeks ago somewhere in Ridgetown on our way to Kingston. The pump should have totaled @ $38.00 (and change). When the receipt was printed, and she checked it was $ 47.00 (and change).

    She got mad, went inside the store, asked for a calculator and let themdo the math. They refunded her. She told them that if they cheat, they had better make it right. Normally, her husband would skip printing thereceipt.. Not her

    We saw on the news the other night that this is happening everywhere.

    Brian pumped exactly one liter of gas. The price did not match the cost of one liter. It was higher. He went inside and complained, got a refund.

    There is also a number on each pump that you can call and complain..

    This is a true story, so read it carefully.

    On March 24, 2009, I stopped at a gas station in Chatham. My truck's gas gauge was on 1/4 of a tank. I use the regular grade, which was priced at $0.885 per liter. When my tank is at this point, it takes somewhere around 45 liters to fill it up.

    When the pump showed 45 liters had been pumped, I began to slow it down. Then, to my surprise, it went to 50, then 55. I even looked under my truck to see if it was being spilled. It was not. Then it showed 60 liters on the pump. It stopped at 62 liters. This was very strange to me, since my truck has only a 65 liter tank. I went on my way a little confused, then on the evening news I heard a report that 1 out of 10 gas stations had calibrated their pumps to show more gas had been pumped than a person actually got.

    Here is how to check a pump to see if you are getting the right amount:

    Whichever grade you are using, put EXACTLY 10 LITERS in your tank, then look at the dollar amount. If the dollar amount is not EXACTLY 10 times the price of the fuel you have chosen, then the pumps are rigged.

    In my case, as I said, the mid-grade was $0.885 per liter; my dollar amount for 10 liters should have been $8.85 . I wish I had checked the pump. It doesn't matter where you pump gas, please check the 10 liter
    price. If you do find a station that is cheating, contact the MTO, and direct your comments to the Commissioner,theinfo is on the gas pumps.

    Please don't delete this until you have sent it to all people in youraddress book. We need to put a stop to this outrageous cheating ofcustomers. The gas companies are making enough profits at honest rates.

    You really need to check out snopes: http://www.snopes.com/politics/gasoline/cheating.asp
    I like how this matches almost word for word, except that the setting has been changed to Ridgetown, Ont, and imperial to metric, etc...
