Milk prices are $7.99, butter is about $4.39, eggs are $2.37, boneless breast of chicken is $4.99/lb. My car leaks so much oil that I have to put in at least 3 quarts a week because it's over 20 years old and I can't afford a new one because my rent is too dang high. Gas prices are over $3 a gallon - so I don't have insurance. Why do I live here? Because I can't afford to leave. Plain and simple. kili |

I've lived on the West Coast close to 50 years and rarely have I found anyone who didn't consider Coors a notch or more above Bud, Miller or any of the other 'domestic' stuff. Most Coors bashers I've seen have been mostly because of their non-union brewery in Colorado. |

You can also blame the ****ing Americans when it comes to the price of beef.
When BSE was identified in a single beef carcase in northern Alberta in May, 2003 (the animal was from a farm operated by a recent immigrant from the US), the US closed the border to Canadian beef, in spite of the fact that there had been unlimited movement back and forth across the border for decades, i.e. we share our germs. The US producers welcomed the ban since it enabled the price of their beef to increase because of decreased imports. The Canadian public rallied around their farmers and bought lots of beef but wondered why, since there was such a glut, the price didn't come down. Today a report was issued by the Alberta auditor general enlightening us as to why this happened. The US owned packing plants in Alberta apparently bought cheap and sold at the market price. Along the way they increased their profitability almost three fold. They also had the unmitigated gall to take over two hundred million dollars from the Alberta government in handouts to the industry because of the crisis. When pressed to open their records to investigators, they refused. Now, of couse, we know why! The North American Free Trade treaty is being used as a way of ripping off Canada and Mexico. I shouldn't be surprised since this is the American way. Profit rules! I haven't been near this ng for quite a while but have monitored it for the last week or two and seen quite a few familiar faces. I must admit that I like you individually and have even met one or two of you. But collectively I don't like you. And I understand why the rest of the world doesn't. I've read suggestions that we should start hitting you back where it hurts, i.e. restricting energy exports (and we have a lot of that here - once the oil and gas runs out we have plentiful supplies of oil sand and coal). Hard to do against a country that takes 88% of our exports (Did any of you know that? We are your biggest trading partner. Obviously we have to look further afield since you continue to abuse us.). Sounds like "The Mouse That Roared" but those of us that think are p*ss*d off....at you guys and f*ck*ng Ralph, our premier.
