So You Think Your Cost of Living Is High!

So You Think Your Cost Of Living Is High!
Ahh, so do you think your cost of living is high? Do you have more month at the end of your paycheque? Well don't feel bad. How would you like to live in the true white north, right up there in Nunavut in the Arctic? A little hamlet Gjoa Haven was named in thanks for safe harbour by a Norwegian Roald Amundsen where he stopped to wait out the lethal winter, some 106 years ago.
Well, if you live up in Nuanvut, you know all about the high cost of living. A 12 can case of Coca Cola costs $27.47 Canadian dollars while a 2 litre bottle of milk sets you back $8.99 Canadian, oh and Minute Rice runs at $6.29 for a 700 gram box.

Now while some of you may be having trouble with the litres and grams and maybe even the spelling of some of our words, we are sure you will understand that up there in Nunavut possibly two thirds of your monthly income is spent on food alone!
Even though Statistics Canada's latest figures has the cost of living falling for most of us Canadians, dropping for the second month in a row in August; in Nunavut inflation runs so high that a majority of the residents pass on the nutritional food and opt for junk food because its all they can afford.
So with all of this plus bitter cold, sunless winters we got to thinking; what would make you want to live there? Maybe you were born there, family ties maybe, what do you think?

Take a short look at what Nunavut has to offer, watch the 30 second video and explore the site. You might just want to check it out for a week or two. We would suggest the Summer months and don't forget... take your own case of coke.

RECORDS SURE HAVE BEEN BROKEN THIS YEAR!

ALL KINDS OF RECORDS HAVE BEEN BROKEN THIS YEAR! 

This has surely been a year that is!  All types of records are being broken.  We wonder how many actually..., records lows in the economy, record lows real estate sales, record lows in interest rates, record highs in the number of short sales and certainly broken records here in the Toronto Canada area with record highs in rainfalls this summer and now that summer is drawing to a close, (this is the last weekend of summer), record number of days without rain!

Yes that is what they are telling us.  That July 2009 was one of the rainest months reported in years. Now with the end of summer this weekend, we have just broken another record.  The longest number of days without rain since 1967, 21 full days!  This record may be an omen... the last time our Toronto Maple Leafs won the Stanley Cup was in 1967... Go Leafs Go!!!

What a wonderful way to kick off the stunning days of Fall, Walking On Sunshine, don't you agree!
