The ferry fees will go up. I don't think there is any question about that. A trip to Canada now costs me around 45 x 2 for the ferry. 30 for gas. Impossible to get much done on a travel day to Van so that is a hotel plus meals. Before it's over figure close to 200. And that's going as cheaply as possible. No daytrips to Granville Island or Gastown just for the fun of it. I love the fed's reporting of inflation. Keep changing the basket so the percentage is as low as possible and live out necessities. Gas is down so that's legit but oil hit 21.00 US today with word of an OPEC agreement. Pressure is off heating oil, ng, gasoline but for how long? In the meantime we're being double taxed. Pay us your taxes and now pay for the services we provide. What a sweet deal for the govt. Grumble, grumble. Can't do much else. No chance of the fed. govt.changing anytime soon. Provincially, Campbell has his hands full. Revenue down. Demands up. He's going to have to dance real fast to keep up to the tune being played here. I think I'll hang onto cash for the near term.
