You don't walk into a store and have to pay an extra fee on your groceries for shipping and to keep the lights on - there's a cost of doing business built into the price.


Taxes are always annoying. Nova Scotia is the highest in Canada now I thought, might be wrong. We're at 15% sales tax.
Don't know about there but in Ontario we have to pay a "delivery" fee for hydro (above and beyond the usage charge). It isn't like we can pick it up or anything.
Businesses also have to pay a fee for the difference in price between what it cost to produce and the rate at which it is sold to the States! So if it cost 10 cents per KWH hour to produce and they sell it for 2 cents we pay the difference. There is ALWAYS a difference!
