Come down to Oz to live. Gambling winnings are tax free down here,
unless you are a professional gambler.
Same in Canada.

As I understand it, there is no part of Canada where it does not
SNOW in the winter.

That's what gives us the glory of four different seasons (plus a lot of
bad boring jokes about how we really have only two, defined by road
construction/snow/rain etc.)

I thought that was Chicago, where they say there are only two
seasons, snow removal and road repair. Or alternately, road
removal and snow repair.

In northern California we also have two seasons: wet and dry.
Thus, our vegetation turns green not in the summer, as in some
other places, but from about November till May or so.
