I am lucky that my Zellers is not closing, I had a lot of memories there. I am happy that Zeddy made a return in the flyers, but they should use him in the ads still.

@401RoadWarrior It means is the federal taxes on fuel, which have long been the subject of complaints and gas stations saying "the price isn't our fault!", come long before carbon taxes were ever suggested. If there's a carbon tax in some provinces, it's probably a small proportion of the taxes on fuel, and is not the reason our stuff costs more (as our stuff has cost more since before carbon taxes). Sounds like climate change denialist propaganda to me. "Blame the prices on envirofascists!!!"

@balthcat "Fuel taxes predate mainstream global warming support." What is that mean, in plain english, please.
Doesn't BC and/or Vancouver have a carbon tax on top of all other federal and excise taxes that make up the final gas price at the pump? Quebec as well.

@ThePantyDroper NAFTA allows you to import US and MX products with Zero Duty but not other foreign goods. So those cheap Bangladeshi t-shirts you want to buy are hit with 16-18% duty when they cross the border from the US warehouses.

@401RoadWarrior Fuel taxes predate mainstream global warming support. I'm not aware of any that are actually due to global warming, though there OUGHT to be.

@ThePantyDroper People like you are why all the Zellers employees are being fired and rehired at zero seniority. Just keep that in mind.

@ThePantyDroper $1.11 regular.
Crossed the border 30+ times in the past 13 years, mostly thru NYS but also thru MI, VT and NH from Quebec, I learned all their questions, american guys and canadian guys, girls as well, they also listen to your accent, how calm and fast you answer their questions, they always look at your reactions when talking to them, that's how they see when you're lying, in time bought tons of things from the States, mostly from DE & NH, no sales tax, VA 5%, twice from MT 0%.

@401RoadWarrior Well it's the same as over there but the border guards are pretty easy going. I asked why they never make me pay duties when I bring back more than the limit, the lady said it's usually no big deal. If a border gaurd makes you pay duties usually hes just doing it to be a dick. I have gotten an asshole who accused me of trying to smuggle my own jacket across.
Curious to know how much gas is in toronto? We pay $1.40 per litre.

@ThePantyDroper Obviously I have zero knowledge of the BC/WA border crossing, been just once in that area. from TO to Seattle so I went up to Blaine and watched out of curiosity cars coming into US thru or around that Arch, I'd compare your case with ppl living in Niagara Falls, ONT so right on the border, but TO is about 120+ km from the border, so to/from Buffalo = 240+ km, $3 bridge toll and almost 10% sales tax in NYS, gas also very expensive in NYS (like in Cali) compared with rest of USA.
A few of the Zellers stores are remaining Zellers :D As for the stores that will change to Target, employee's have to resubmit their resumes and be hired back on as Target employees, starting at the bottom even if they have years of seniority working for Zellers, which sucks big time.

@hd92122 Truth. I live in canada but I'm 5 mins from the US border and 15 mins from an american wal mart. The prices in american wal mart are dirst cheap. Canadian wal mart is actually expensive. If people want a deal/cheap stuff wal mart is the last place on the list in canada. I always shop at american wal mart. The savings is ridiculous.
