Of course there is a lot of variation and other reasons why inflation might be lower or higher in any given month, hence why averaging out over a longer of period of time can help \"smooth things out\".\n\nSill it is not unreasonable to guess that Ontario's Cap 'n Trade added maybe 0.6 percentage points to inflation, averaging inflation here vs. Manitoba and Quebec.

For once, I agree with Wynne. Road tolls are ok but the infrastructure and operating costs are too expensive. In addition, the time to set that all up was going to take a couple of years. Toronto residents need to pay higher property taxes. I understand that higher density should be less tax because the costs are shared. I also understand that there are those who can't afford higher taxes, especially the low income and elderly who no longer have an income. However, what we've seen is that all the services, infrastructure repairs, and upgrades cost a lot more money than was ever expected. The materials and labour costs have gone through the roof. The costs are just too high. Residents in other municipalities pay more taxes, and don't get nearly as many services as Toronto residents.

The ADN won the Pulitzer for an expose of the Teamsters Union, apparently, long before you were around as the Mat-Maid story was years later. ADN is better than a majority of the newspapers online or in print throughout the nation as the corporate owners operate strictly for profit without any social conscience or journalistic ethics whatsoever. Its Arctic environmental articles can be found nowhere else. The inclusion of many Alaska-based writers and reporters provides home-grown content. The resurrection of "We Alaskans" is worth it alone. All of the things missing from the McClatchy era when corporate business gurus jettisoned the best aspects of the previous editions. Name one better paper anywhere in the nation.

Certainly we want the economy to be working, that's why we have to cut down on the bloated state government before we discourage work with a destructive state income tax. Hopefully the State House Majority will get ahold of their faculties and forget about the state income tax and start cutting state spending. Not all at once mind you, only 5% per year for ten years to provide a soft landing for the state economy.

Certainly there is more than one word for things, which is why I said normally. We used to call it dope in high school because that is what the police called it when they toured around to our school telling us not to do drugs. The police used that word for a reason because it has such a negative connotation. You're smoking dope because you look like a dope and you are a dope. When I got out of high school and met people who knew their drugs I realized that to those who use, dope means heroin. I would not advise asking for dope when you want weed. You will look like a narc, or you will get heroin (neither of which is a good thing).

Agree with a lot of this list except: Forget cast-iron for a start-up kitchen. Move into this later if you get the urge. Too fussy, high maintenance and un-necessary for anything a college student is going to cook. A good non-stick is far more useful. Paring knives? Meh... you could get these I guess if you have drawer space to fill up. Get a good quality offset serrated knife for bread, citrus and tomatoes etc... A quality box-grater is arguably more useful than a microplane and easier to handle. The best tip in the article and the one that you will benefit the most from is a quality pair of kitchen shears. Splurge and get the most functional peeler you can find. Even a "luxury" one is still not going to be that expensive. Shears and peeler - probably the two most useful things on this list.

I'm guessing you've heard of Oregon TILTH, the state's leading organization promoting organic, sustainable farming. They certify organic farms with on-site inspections, soil tests and tests of produce to insure organic standards of production. You might learn a great deal from visiting their website. Your comments regarding organic farming are totally without substance. The agri-chemical industry is working very hard to discredit organic farming. Fortunately, they are not succeeding. More and more farmers are adopting organic methods of production, the supply of certified organic produce is ever increasing and the prices are becoming more competitive with produce grown on megafarms utilizing petroleum based fertilizers and chemical herbicides and pesticides. The pollution of water tables and riverways with, especially, nitrogen and phosperous compounds result from overapplication of petroleum based chemical fertilizers is a widespread problem. read up a bit on these issues....
