There has been a change in the release structure of the Universal Thread Magazine today. As many of you may have already read, there is a news on the main page:
Universal Thread Magazine going quarterly
After having delivered 67 monthly issues in sequence, the Universal Thread Magazine is adapting to a quarterly release schedule starting in 2007. Thus, the magazine will now be released on the months of March, June, September and December.
http://www.levelextreme.com/news/UniversalThreadMagazineQuarterly.aspIn regards to that, I also added another entry in the timeframe of the Leave Canada Now site to mention an item in regards to this. If you go at
http://www.leavecanadanow.com/Timeframe.aspx, you will find an entry on January 8, 2007 having this:
Level Extreme removes eight annual issues of its Universal Thread Magazine and adjusts for quarterly releases. The decision is in part related to the battle Level Extreme is currently fighting against the Canada Revenue Agency. The fact that the Canada Revenue Agency is forcing Level Extreme to charge a Canadian tax to its international customers is jeopardizing the ongoing operation of all the related services Level Extreme is offering to its customers, which is causing a decrease in revenue. Thus, as only four issues instead of twelve will be delivered on an annual basis for the Universal Thread Magazine, this will also allow Level Extreme to cut on its operational expenses. This adjustment, which penalizes the readers of the magazine, is the second adjustment Level Extreme has been forced to do since the Canada Revenue Agency has ruled Level Extreme to tax its international customers. A few months ago, Level Extreme had to drop its annual subscription rate from 142.00$ to 99.00$ for the Universal Thread, another service provided by Level Extreme.
As was the case recently when members provided some feedback on the topic, I would like to collect additional feedback especially on this situation. To provide a feedback, once on the Leave Canada Now site, simply click on the "Comment on the issue" link at the top of the site and then on "Add" from the list. This kind of adjustment is of high importance to us and to all of our members. It is important to voice it and now is the time.
I also invite those who haven't signed the petition so far to do it now. We are presently at 153 and we are still far from our objective. This only takes a minute. All members of the Level Extreme services are concerned by that, which include the ones from the Universal Thread.
Thanks
