Canadian consumers need to open their eyes about how their beloved local retailers and their government are guaging them shamelessly. Canada and US has pretty much no difference in infrastructure in transportation, yet Canadian consumers perioidically pay 10% - 20% more than average Americans on consumer goods. Canadians must start demanding to know why this happens from their retailers and governments of all levels.

Whether you like it or not, for vast majority of people, consumption power is THE most important indicator of quality of life, NOT healthcare, NOT social welfare system and NOT even democratic political system. People's ability to buy things at will is what regular people care about the most. And yet, this issue is never on the table. I fail to understand why.
