last i mentioned i'm in it for myself doesn't me just me per se but i want it to benefit my neighborhood too...where is my skytrain? oh yah...for some reason they brought it to a city with less people than where i live...dont get me wrong since i'm happy for richmond getting it...but i want more stations in surrey since i live here and i work here...
1) Maybe your employer feels you don't deserve a raise. You've become less productive. Or try asking for one.

2) The chances of a policy change benefiting everyone is pretty low.

3) You're saying this as if there are no plans at all to expand the Expo line. Richmond may have less people, but it's more dense and the Canada Line goes into Richmond as much as the Expo Line goes into Surrey.

I think when HST comes into play, some establishments will start going HST ADJUSTED PRICING!!! and try to lure in customers, But IMO most will charge the same and will just pocket more profit...

Economics isn't intuitive.

Yes, the market sets the price, but a lot of ppl don't know that. There's a lot of noise in the media from politicians, lobby groups, etc.. and that's where everyday ppl get informed about this stuff. Of course, most of it is garbage..
