I've been to Iqaluit on Frobisher Bay. It's a beautifully rugged and
desolate area. I would guess that most of their food has to be flown or
shipped in which would be the major component of the high costs.

Most of the fresh food (like produce) is flown in, and that makes it
expensive. *And, it's the cost of nutritious food up there that causes
all kinds of health problems. *People living in Northern Manitoba suffer
much more from obesity and diabetes, and it's entirely because of their
relatively poor diets (which is mostly junk food). *In fact, the most
nutritious food they commonly eat is food they shoot, catch or trap
themselves.

About those Chechnyan brothers, I'm just glad that it turned out to be a
couple of home grown whackos rather than an attack by an organized
terrorist group like Al Qaeda. *With two close brothers living in the
same city that no one expected of anything, you at least know that they
had a good chance of their plot not being discovered because they had
the advantage of surprise.

If it was an organized terrorist group, it would have meant that all of
the beefed up border and airport security and all the telephone
evesdropping done by Homeland Security isn't effective at stopping an
attack, and that would have emboldened those terrorist groups.

One of the brothers had gone back to Chechnya and spent several years
there. Per his acquaintances he came back a changed person, had been
brain washed to the terrorist side.
