   Yep.  Even the government likes the sound on gasoline taxes at $1.70 a litre   
   far better than where the are now.  Strong loonie sheltered Canada from a   
   whopping 20% decline in currency values in the US dollar, and associated yet   
   to come inflation.  $1.70 per litre of gasoline is what we would pay if   
   Hargrove and clowns had it their way.  Inflation will go nuts if the loonie   
   devalues.   
      
   Inflation hurts the poor the most.  Putting homes, cars and other things   
   further beyond reach as monthly fixed expenses increase but wages do not   
   follow.   
      
   The dollar is probably sagging as people cross border shop.  A person I know   
   just came back, after expenses with a used M3 BMW, $25.5K after expenses,   
   even after Calgary BMW gouged him $500 for a clearance letter, sure beats   
   the same one with twice the mileage and on the lot for $38K!   
      
   Canadian consumers and taxpayers are going to hopefully get a thick skin on   
   this as the mindless liberal cry-babies and NDP losers are looking for   
   excuses for their failures.
