$Federal tax on phone bills will be down to 9%, as well.

   Yeah, but they're taxing the whole bloody phone bill!  No longer is it
just your long distance calls that get taxed, but it's also your line
rental and phone rental, too!  So tack another $1.00/month onto your phone
bill for line rental tax (approximate for the Toronto area), plus whatever
tax on your phone rentals.
