I love the springtime. Waking in the morning to the excited sounds of birds chirping. Watching the trees which, for months, have appeared lifeless, suddenly spring back to life. I am always amazed at the certainty of the seasons; no matter how long the winter is (and some years feel longer than others!) we always know that spring will come. And while April signals the much-anticipated arrival of spring, it’s also synonymous with another certainty in Canadian life: tax season.
