A reminder to Canada - the price of goods are going up on Jan.1

The feds are raising the tariffs on items from 72 countries on Jan.1, 2015 which will raise the price of goods to consumers from toothbrushes to I pads to bikes. Probably from 3-6%.

This was in their 2013 budget. They reversed the tariffs on hockey helmets. That seems a bit odd but then again Harper is a Hockey fan.

Unless each day can be looked back upon by an individual
as one in which he has had some fun, some joy, some
real satisfaction, that day is a loss.

That issue may have been discussed on CBC At-Issue last nite. At any rate the video gives a good indication who will win the next election.
