And also, to take it another step further, we can only really give you an idea in terms of Candian $, not USD unless you want to do the math. A good current example is the new Mac Mini from Apple. In the US it retails for $499 US, in Canada it retails for $629 CDN. If we (optimistacally) assume a Canadian $ is worth 80 cents US, then the price should actually be closer to $598.80 CDN. But then there's duty, shipping, etc. Also, we pay 7% GST (Goods and Services Tax) so the Mac Mini actually comes to $673.03 once all is said and done.

Right now gas in Calgary just jumped from 80.5 cents/litre to 85.9 cents/litre, but if you don't know what a litre is, this may not help you much. But really, a fucking nickel over night?! Come on! What's up with that?

Sorry for the rant, I'm just a little confused.

As for cars and that kind of thing, you can check out some Canadian Websites for that, keeping in mind tha tprices represented are in $CDN so the prices aren't necessarily grossly inflated.

As for food, that changes from place to place, from season to season, and even from BSE outbreak to BSE outbreak, so there is absolutes here, and I would hate to state something misleading. Or at least, more misleading.

Hope this helps.

Peace,

Pierre

ps. Charlatan, thanks for the kind words in the Exhib forum. You're TOOOO kind!
