My darling wife, and CFO, just sent me this: http://www.cbc.ca/news/opinion/canadian-consumers-1.4586668
In short: price fixing, taxes and duties, and a weak dollar kill us to exponential levels.
I am headed State-side this weekend for a parts pick-up, and I am going to get butt-raped for taxes on the way back home.
So the next time a Canadian asks you for a deal on some parts, think of the children he/she still has to feed with what little money is left over. It is like Cuba - but with poutine, snow and hockey, and French instead of Spanish (two out of three ain't bad).
