Oh Canada... did the price of cabbage drop below $28?


The price of Cabbage in remote areas of Canada is the same a the price


in remote areas of the United States, and the price of Cabbage in


populated areas of Canada is the same as it is in populated areas of the


USA.


Hmm,


"Would you pay C$28 (US$27; £18) for a cabbage? $65 for a bag of


chicken? $100 for 12 litres of water? That's not the cost of a meal at


a world-class restaurant, but the price of basic foodstuffs at


supermarkets in the territory of Nunavut, in northern Canada."

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 flow or shipped in which would be the major component of the high costs.


Most places like this, the primary diet is fish.
I thought a proper Eskimo wouldn't be seen dead eating lettuce.


Liar. You have never shown any signs of "thought".
