On top of this, because of the added spoilage, in store, you can count on any item that is available to be a lot more expensive.

Here's a response in a letter from Patty Johnstone in Ontario ..
I think she is a little ticked off! She also tells it like it is!
"Hey Jeff, let's get a few things straight!!
1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole (tit) for FIFTY YEARS.
2. I have been paying CPP & OAS for 48 YEARS (since I was 15 years old. I am now 63). Being a Canadian citizen for over 20 years & paying my taxes, I am eligible at 65 to apply for Old Age Security - OAS (paid for through my taxes).
3. My Canada Pension payments, and those of millions of other Canadians, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for decades until you political pukes decided to raid...
