When i use to buy audio tapes, i noticed that the prices in Toronto
were about the same as those in Ottawa. This was strange given that 
everything else was more expensive up here in the Winter Wonderland.

It turned out that we in Ottawa were getting scammed. Though the
price of a box of tapes is the same as those in Toronto, the size
is NOT! In Toronto, there are 12 tapes to a box. In Ottawa there are
only 10. If you see a box of 12, it has a higher price.

Caveat Emptor! Buy tapes the next time you go to a big city like
Toronto or Montreal. Competition sets the price! 

Another scam in Ottawa is the pricing fixing on ski equipment ie:
Tommy Levebre along with Olympic!
