Remember when N fertilizer prices were high because of natural gas.....now it's whatever the market will pay.
Same as fuel.

Everything consumers buy is what we will bear! Argument for higher in Canada is smaller market less demand/higher costs of business/regulations. I always thought a higher demand increases prices. The reason is ass backwards, but we hear it any way. As for fuel, 58 cents/L CAD was average on a trip neighbor took to Arizona last month. But we have 30 cents more taxes, so 88 cents would be fair. Never seen that this summer.
Not cheap to live in the best country on earth.

I disagree with you on the health system here in Canada any day of the week. Two of my immediate family both had cancer treatment in Mb and Sk, with the same excellent service. The tax money to help them get treatment is tax money well spent in my books. Maybe it's not the same if you have a cold or hang nail. Both for serious medical situations it works great!

I read an interesting article, I think on Huffington Post about provincial pension funds. It seems due to the low interest policy, some of them are closing to leverage their funds using risky derivatives to generate the operating capital needed to stay afloat. Wonder where CPP is generating it's funds - not as risky, no doubt. Tongue in cheek!

Forage, I think you meant to address me regarding healthcare. I am not doubting the quality of care but the bloated bureaucracy it has become, patient abuse and GP abuse(revolving door).

Hopefully we don't get an extra carbon tax added by our Quebec based leader!

[perfecho]

Likely are getting some sort of carbon tax, but most corps have planned for it.....just a matter of time, regardless who is leading.

To answer errolanderson, I'm still happy to come home. No matter what the season.
Was in Florida last week, gas was 1.91 USD/Gal.
I agree we have a problem with lack of competition.
It for sure got worse with the government I always voted for.
