   I really hope this truth makes it through the layers of bureaucracy.   
      
   But high Canadian prices often have one common denominator, hidden taxes   
   and lobby bought protectionisms.  Lets examine some.   
      
   Take beef protectionism tariffs, it allows uncompetitive Canadian   
   pricing of beef.  11kg rib-eye in Montana, $30kg in Calgary.   
      
   Take cheese protectionism tariffs, it allows uncompetitive Canadian   
   pricing of cheese.  Kraft cheddar $6kg in Detroit, $15kg in Windsor.   
      
   In fact, CBSA collects $45 billion in taxes, tariffs, fees no American   
   ever pays!!!!  Much of which is to drive protectionism.  Some lobbyist   
   wants protectionism as they want poor people to buy $800 Canadian made   
   winter coat when being disabled, poor, or low income, you can't get the   
   equivalent in US for $130, but it was made in India or Bangladesh....but   
   more affordable.   
      
   I am going to do my best to expose why being Canadian is expensive   
   because of government tax greed.  Besides taxes, lets examine Canadians   
   second largest expense housing:   
      
   Canadians have to life earn $1,400,000 to pay $700,000 in taxes,   
   $300,000 in fair interest, to buy a $400,000 home that is $200,000 in   
   labour taxes, fees, tariffs and other taxes to build the tax-debt out   
   $200,000 family home.   
      
   Mexican earns $200,000 to pay $40,000 in taxes, $40,000 in interest to   
   buy a $120,000 home. (Also pays a whole lost less in   
   city/utility/education taxes, lower costs of food too).   
      
   American earns $360,000 to pay $60,000 in taxes, $50,000 in interest to   
   buy a $250,000 home. (Also pays a whole lost less in   
   city/utility/education taxes lower food costs  too and average   
   disposable income is much higher).   
      
   Reality is we lose jobs because to live in Canada requires uncompetitive   
   high wage levels, and jobs leave.   
      
   Yet our corrupt governments bailout corporation/unions/banks for   
   uncommon good, to tax us more so we are more uncompetitive.  While   
   corrupt politics in Canada was bailout of GM, Magna and corrupt   
   CAW/auto, China built the Yangtze Dam for cheap renewal electricity to   
   make themselves more competitive.   
      
   While Ottawa might delude itself in its benefits to Canadians, I can   
   assure you it is a delusion, choice of ignorance of reality, when you   
   bailout your lobby sponsors with taxes to us.   
      
   For this reason I am a former Conservative, I am still small c   
   conservative, but Harper and others in this bloated government of waste   
   no longer have my vote or support.   
      
   The real cause of high prices is Ottawa tax and protectionism greeds.   
      
   --   
   Socialist-statism corruption is a great idea so long as the credit is   
   good and other people pay for it. When the credit runs out and those   
   that pay for it leave, they can all share having nothing but   
   unemployment, debt and discontentment.
