"Import" cars that are assembled domestically.. Especially mercedes..
Houses in calgary.. Come on folks 400K for a 3-4 BR with attach garage.. please..
Alot of people said fuel.. I work on oilsands projects as an engineering contractor.. These projects arent cheap.. say 15 Billion for a 300k BPD SAGD facility.. Plus another 8 Billion for an upgrader to make it into synthetic sweet light. Thats 23 billion is just to make basic crude oil.. Add another 12 billion dollar refinery that can process 300K BPD.. Things add up very fast, and this doesnt even factor in pipelines, storage facilities, service stations ect.. Plus the federal gasoline tax on regular gas is probably close to $0.30 a liter now.. Bitch at Ottawa, not the companies that are forced to compete in an open market. It takes years for these companies to recoup their initial investment.
