Use some of the now cheap oil to power green houses for domestic consumption.
Meanwhile the prime minister prays at a mosque with his friends and allows thousands of refugees into his country. Sounds like a northern a##hat leader
Yeah, but a Canadian dollar will still buy you a piece of penny candy....
Once is OK. If you’re going to make a regular thing of it; first check whether your medical insurance covers triple bypasses.
Great and huge site for low cost energy projects here, including greenhouses.
You'd think they'd "round" it off to $11.40.
Good advice. My wife says she has not noticed a drastic rise in prices of groceries. She shopped yesterday as well, at the local supermarket. At the Northern Ontario -Michigan border, we do take a trip over the river to Michigan. Groceries very much cheaper there. Especially milk and eggs. Canada has a bureaucracy called the Milk Marketing Board and other boards. I cannot say to what purpose.
A sudden drop in the Canadian dollar will prevent cross-border shopping. It has just dropped to 69.8 cents against the American dollar. Lowest since 2003. It has been about a comfortable 83 cents for some time. Now no more. The price of oil blamed- who knows?
Especially since they are phasing out pennies - a scary omen. I have some of the European currencies from the 1950s where the “cents” just completely disappeared; decades before the Euro conversion, Spain & Italy had lost their “centimos”. Canadiens first warning was when the C$1 and C$2 notes were replaced by coins; I remember getting three credits in a video game for one dollar coin (”loonie”).
Here in the US there is also a drive to eliminate the penny and replace the paper dollar with coins.
