Northern Canadian Tribe On Thin Ice
The next time you think you have it bad at the supermarket remember this story:ENN: Environmental News Network [[Science & Technology Full Story ]]: "a four-litre jug of milk that currently costs around C$16.40 ($14.14) will soon soar to C$20 ($17.24) because of the increased cost of flying goods in throughout the winter. Fuel supplies are also dwindling and may be rationed, the chiefs said. "
In the warmer months these tribes are accustomed to flying in their supplies. However, during the winter months in northern Canada, the aboriginal natives can usually drive their goods in over roads built on top of the thick ice (a far less costly means of transport). This winter has been unusually mild, and the road construction has been delayed.
And we complain about getting gouged on this side of the bridges...
