  1. Joseph Whistle from Canada writes: This is an excellent time to gouge us. When their cost of a product goes up by 5 cents, the can raise the price by 25 cents and we think it's all because of "difficult times".
    They pocket the extra 20 cents.
    This could be a good time to invest in various food companies, because their profit levels are about to go up.
  2. Dave C from Canada writes: I think our wonderful BOC Governor should lower Interest rates even further. We are already under the pressure of Inflation, he might as well make it Hyper Inflation. Let's make Canada another Argentina.
  3. Winston Smith from Canada writes: This is the price to be paid for stoking the housing industry will interest rate cuts and 40 year mortgages. Too much money chasing too few goods.
  4. Dr Demento from Canada writes: I just saw a segment on CBC NewsWorld where Atlantic fishers were lamenting the lowest prices for their catches in over 3 decades - what is the truth here?
  5. William J Gillies from Canada writes: ""Wheat, soy, corn, cooking oils. These agricultural commodities tend to be the base ingredients to a lot of our value-added products," he said."

    Right -- the filler material, formerly cheap, that has made so many of us fat. Who needs it?
  6. David Stanley from Canada writes: in the US there is already a bad situation,there are middle class people moving to tent cities ,bank closings, and the Us dollar is so over printed that its going to begin a spiral of inflation never seen in America since the great depression. Also all the oil producers are either not accepting us dollars or planning on not accepting them.
    I just read a financial report stating that China has refused to take American dollars for goods purchased by Walmart.
    where is the culmination to these events is anyones guess.So far Canada is relatively unscathed .
    cross your fingers.
  7. harry carnie from Northern,B.C, Canada writes: Translation:........even though much or our operations are now in China where the costs are low...this is an opportunity and excuse ,to make an even higher margin of profit.
  8. REV eighteenseventeen from Canada writes: Stick gold fish in your backyard pond to eat on special occasions with potatoes on the side from your garden.
  9. George Bishop from Fergus, Ontario, Canada writes: Ever since the CBCs "Market Place" expose of the Highliner brand, we have boycotted there Fish products, after watching that program, I dont think they buy any Canadian product but bring in inexpensive fish from mainly China and process it here, thus it's considered "Product of Canada" Shame on them!
