I told her that prices are going up and we would use it. Last week, we opened that can of coffee, three days ago, the same can of coffee was $10.99.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15695733883033137146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2171776489221716830.post-57576582363674011632011-02-20T01:14:48.389-08:002011-02-20T01:14:48.389-08:00We have had only five banks in Canada for many yea...We have had only five banks in Canada for many years (were six). See Wiki. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Five_%28banks%29<br />They operate under government charter and are carefully regulated.<br />I cannot recall when if ever we have had a bank failure.<br />If you want service at a more local level, the Credit Unions are the place to go. And I don't know if any of them have ever gone broke either, though the Saskatchewan CUs are all amalgamating into several larger CUs to save overhead costs. Our Credit Union (Conexus now) has mortgaged all our houses over the years; financed all our cars and financed three kids through University.<br />All it takes is good regulations and sound government oversight.The Blog Fodderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441978691701289074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2171776489221716830.post-962731633190576592011-02-19T08:50:53.230-08:002011-02-19T08:50:53.230-08:00Randal unfortunately the cows were sacred and kept...Randal unfortunately the cows were sacred and kept at a secret location guarded by Blackwater.<br /><br />Crum Even the cost of a Happy Meal has gone up.
