I'd rather eat fast food 9 times out of 10 than buy from most local places.
That being said, we all knew a lull was coming. Bullarm-Long Harbor, were shorttime booms, we all knew weren't gonna last forever.
What's surpising and comforting is that the people assumed to be living paycheck to paycheck in the trades, are actually making rational decisions on there future.
Which is what I think is really causing this creep in the growth.
I'm just guessing but I've been hearing rumours of this kind of stuff from my pipe fitting-welding friends, ever since we got together thankgiving weekend.

Living on an island does not have to mean high food prices though. Yes I fully expected to see a modest increase in cost of eating back home versus out west however $12.75 for a locally grown, locally fed and locally produced and shipped Country Ribbon chicken is just plain bull shit, not to mention $4.77 for a 2l of milk, but yet if I wanted a 2l of Pepsi or Coke, I'd actually be paying the same on an island versus out west.
