In Thursday's NYT, page B1, There is an article about the falling Canadian dollar making cauliflower cost $8 a head, triple it's usual price. The Canadian dollar had dropped in value from being worth 93 cents two years ago to only 69 cents on Wednesday. This is because the prices of commodities have dropped and with their value, the value of the Canadian dollar has fallen, a direct link to an economy that is dependent on oil and other resources. It makes imports, like fresh American vegetables during the winter especially costly. The California drought has increased many food prices already.
The SOB oil companies screw us coming and going. It's either expensive oil and gas or cheaper gas & oil and falling stock markets and currency. What a mess. When I saw the article the first thing I thought of was the mashed cauliflower post. Glad Frigilux is in the US. Vey's mir.
