I just spent a few days in the states and the myth of it being cheaper was smashed. Everything was priced similar to what we'd pay in Canada (before even taking exchange into account) plus it seemed like they added a ton of tax etc.

Dear USA, enjoy paying 50% more for whatever shit you think you don't need from Canada like softwood lumber, potash, rare earth minerals... Meanwhie I'll drink my Old Fashioned with fine Canadian whiskey (sorry @WoodfordReserve I'm sure we'll be friends again in a few years).

@costcocanada what kind of bait and switch which are you running on your car rentals? I rent a car for $365 and after they tack on all the taxes it's over $1100 us? Absolute b******* I wouldn't have rented the car if I knew the real cost.

@GlobalNational your parent company makes a major shakeup and lays off a bunch of talented Albertans and not one word on your national broadcast. Did @CorusPR tell you to keep your mouth shut?

@McDonaldsCanada how cheap are you. 2000 of your reward points used to get me any size coffee. Now it's 4000 for a large!! By my math that makes each point worth less that half a cent. Congratulations, you loyalty program now sucks more than Scene. That's a real achievement.

I'm going to sound like a whiner but we don't qualify for Danie bucks, or household is slightly above the cutoff. I get that but in the last week we've spent $700 on groceries $120 on gas not to mention all other expenses that are increasing. $200 would really help right now.

Regarding Hockey Night in Canada being cancelled on @CBC a couple of questions:
Who actually watches over the air TV these days. Most modern tv's don't even pick up over the air without a digital antenna.
It's a couple games a week. It's that all the hockey you really watch?

@ABDanielleSmith what's this I hear about you eliminating Public Health Inspectors? For real? How much more damage can you do to our health system. What say you @AdrianaLaGrange?

I think you should all try this. It's great information and gives you an idea about what separation from Canada could really mean.聽
