do we get all our federal taxes back for being students? i thought it was just our tuition and what not? or is it all fed taxes? that would be sick to get like 7g's back.

But that is just my opinion.

I don't care about the snow....it is the -36C that bothers me. Damn cold won't go away!!

My tires won't go on until it's been +5 overnight for 2 weeks in a row at least. Besides, in Calgary at least, this winter has been abnormally mild. I expect no snow past mid March, and no i'm not counting on it but I still believe that's wat will happen.

I thought the same thing last year, put the summer tires on in about mid April, next week we had 25cm of snow here on the ground in Fort McMurray. Good thing I left my car in Calgary and flew back here otherwise I would have been stuck somewhere on the highway for a couple of days.

But hopefully the snow is gone by then and does not come back, that sure would be nice!

If you are a student you get more money back, but no way will you be getting ALL your money back.

Check it out here:

Also if you have a student loan all the interest you paid on it is tax deducatable.
