Steep at twice the price
Next time you grumble about the price of milk and eggs at your local
grocery
store, imagine paying double. That's roughly how much more it
costs for a
range of common staples in Cape Dorset, Nunavut, compared with prices
in a
southern city like Ottawa. And despite the subsidized food-mail rate,
your
bill would be almost three times as much in Old Crow, Yukon.
