Question for Canadian Folks? |
Travel Info I just moved to Canada from the States and observed that food prices are a bit higher. The question I have is what is up with the milk prices. In the States its no more than $2.49 a gallon and here its over $5.00 for the same amount. Why is that? Does anyone know? Just curious. Travel Tips Read this and you'll understand. Three or four pages should be enough... http://www.fraserinstitute.ca/fraser/adm... Others Milk production is more in demand in Canada. Wow, that price is high. I live in Northern Ontario and just came home with milk that cost $3.88 for a 4 litre bag.That is 1/5 larger than a U.S. gallon. I take it you didn't look at cheese prices. That is made from more milk, so prices differences are probably even worse. Wheat/flour is similar. Milk boards and milk quotas. In someone's infinite wisdom, they limit supply and increase prices so that milk producers can make a reasonable living. But farmers hate them as they have to spend a fortune to get a milk quota, that isn't available anyway. Consumers hate them because milk prices are high. On the bright side, sugar should be slightly cheaper than in the US, as the US blocks sugar imports and we don't. But maybe not, it's not like our sugar doesn't have it's problems. |
