So I got my vehicle tax refund cheque yesterday. In a city that’s gridlocked, if anything is a blatant attempt to buy votes, this $60 “refund” is the worst possible way to reward voters. I think that the Toronto Coalition for Active Transportation could use the money better than me.

That’s Catherine’s and my tax returns done. Much to my pleasant surprise, I had kept enough back to pay everything. Not much more, but enough to be happy.
UFile behaved impeccably this year with Firefox. It’s a big improvement on last year.
it’s spring, I think …
These two doos were sat on side fence for ages; long enough for me to get through Catherine’s tax return, and get quite far into mine. They’ve flown off now.
okay, so maybe it wasn’t so bad
So ufile.ca did actually work for us, but only under Mozilla on Catherine’s eMac. The process was actually quite painless, and their user interface is nice — if if works with your browser.
It’s strange that they claim that their system works with Linux, yet got into such a terrible mess with me.
Anyway, that’s our taxes filed. I’ll try not to spend all of my refund in the one shop.
u-don’t-file.ca
ufile.ca is seriously broken under Mozilla 1.6. I’ve wasted the last hour or so trying to stop their weird menus from overlapping. Online tax filing’s supposed to be quick, isn’t it? I wonder if I can charge the time I’ve wasted (at my usual contractor rate) to them?
