Let’s see. When it costs more to buy cauliflower than it does to fill a tank of gas in a motorcycle and other small equipment, one has to wonder about simple economics.

Let’s not forget the central message here. IT IS SIMPLY JUST NOT CAULIFLOWER THAT’S EXPENSIVE. ALL VEGGIES HAVE BEEN AFFECTED.

IN FACT, I WOULD DARE STATE THAT IT PROBABLY COSTS MORE TO BUY WEEKELY VEGGIES THAN IT DOES TO FILL UP A FUEL EFFICIENT VEHICLE THESE DAYS.

MAYBE IT’S TIME WE HAD SOMETHING LIKE OPEC, BUT FOR VEGGIES. VEGGIEPEC OR SOMETHING TO FIX THE CARTEL FIXING OF VEGGIE PRICES DUE NORTH IN THE WINTER MONTHS WHERE ALL CANADIANS BECOME PREY AND RIPE FOR THE PICKING.

AND DON’T START ME ON THE LOONIE TUNES, PLEASE. THE FACT THAT CURRENCIES ARE RIGGED AND THE FIX IS IN AIN’T GOING TO HELP YOUR CASE ONE LITTLE BIT.

JUST BECAUSE OUR OIL EXPORTING RESOURCE HAS GONE TO SHIT WHY IN GOD’S NAME SHOULD THE DOLLAR HIT SKID ROW ? THAT’S NOT SUPPLY AND DEMAND. HAS THE CURRENCY OF OTHER OIL EXPORTING COUNTRIES GONE THE WAY OF THE DODO TOO ???

WHY? USED TO BE THAT THE LOW LOONIE BACK IN THE ’70’s WAS BLAMED ON QUEBEC SEPARATION. NOT OIL EXPORTS. WHAT GIVES TODAY THAT IT’S NOT QUEBEC ANYMORE THAT’S THE PROBLEM, BUT ALBERTA ???

ARE THEY HOLDING ALL OTHER CANADIANS HOSTAGE BY WAY OF FACT OF THEIR OWN ECONOMIC INTERESTS OVER ALL OTHER PROVINCES. SURELY IT’S NOT NEWFOUNDLAND AND IT’S OIL RESOURCES IMPACTING CANADIANS, NOW IS IT???

GET A GRIP ON THE MYOPIA AND TUNNEL VISION HERE.

THE PRICE OF THE LOONIE IS DOWN, BECAUSE SOMEONE CALLED IT AND DECIDED THAT THAT WAS THAT. WALL STREET OR BAY STREET – TRADING MONEY IS A DIRTY BUSINESS GONE AWRY. YOU JUST HAVE TO LOOK AT THE EURO AND GREECE TO FIGURE THAT OUT. AND THEY’RE STILL NOT OUT OF THE WOODS ALTOGETHER. BRITAIN SELECTIVELY WANTING INCLUSION, BUT ON THEIR TERMS IN THE E.U.

DO YOU WANT A CONVERSATION ON CHINA’S YUAN ? IF YOU’RE BORED, LET’S HAVE COFFEE OVER LUNCH SOMETIME.

IN THE MEANTIME, IF CAULIFLOWER IS SKYROCKETING AND STARTING TO COST MORE THAN WHAT WOULD NORMALLY BE EXPECTED IN A SITUATION OF MARKET DEMAND AND SUPPLY, THEN I SUGGEST WE KILL THE DAMN FLOWER AND BE DONE WITH IT.

IT’LL SAVE CALIFORNIA’S ASS AND PISSING PROBLEM WITH A LACK OF H20.

LOGICAL NO ? TIME TO RETHINK NOT ONLY ECONOMICS, BUT THE WAY CANADIANS ARE TREATED AS SCAPEGOATS AND IDIOTS JUST BECAUSE SNOW HITS THE GROUND 6 MONTHS OF THE YEAR.

Ooooops, WASHINGTON D.C. AND THE EAST COAST ARE GETTING A GOOD TASTE OF THAT MEDICINE. LET’S SEE HOW HIGH PRICES ARE GOING TO GO UP NOW IF IT LASTS LONGER THAN EXPECTED.

DON’T FORGET NOW… THERE ARE 10X MORE AMERICANS PER SQUARE INCH THAN CANADA’S POPULATION. THAT SHOULD DO SOMETHING TO SUPPLY DEMAND AND COSTS.

AND IF IT’S ALL ABOUT PR AND SPITTING CLEAN SQUEAKY IMAGES… DON’T TELL ME THAT THE LOCAL OTTAWA GROCERIES WHO HAVE SUDDENLY HAD CHANGES OF HEART AND ARE SELLING CAULIFLOWER FOR $1.97 EACH ARE DOING ANYONE ANY FAVOURS. IT’S NOT A LOST LEADER AND NOT BECAUSE THEY LOVE YOU. IT’S SIMPLY GOOD PR BUSINESS WHERE THE MUCK FLIES FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT VIA THE NET.

IF YOU REALLY HONESTLY WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE AS A GROCERY STORE, THEN DO IT HONESTLY. MULTI BILLION DOLLAR ANNUAL REVENUE GROCERY OUTLETS AREN’T HURTING. IT’S THE PEOPLE ON THE LOW END OF THE INCOME SCALES THAT ARE.

SHALL I CONTINUE MY DIATRIBE ???

REBUTTALS, THE STAGE IS OPEN… PLEASE PROCEED !
