Life seems to be getting more expensive here in Canada by the week, and now I wonder - is it all just long overdue?
Have we been living too high off the proverbial hog for decades?
["The proverbial hog?"]
My list, started in early March, is now up to ten expensive items.
Core inflation increases: Our inflation rate, which includes the effect of volatile items such as fuel, fruit and vegetables, rose more than forecast in February and is now up to 2.1% for the last full year.
Higher car prices and a steep jump in accommodation costs during the Vancouver Olympics were the main factors driving the gain.
Raise your hand if you didn’t buy a new car or go to the Olympics.
Hey, me neither. We pay anyway.

Anything else going north in Canada?
