   Yes, there is a fair bit of Carbon tax and sales tax on gas here   
   which doesn't help but I think, even without those, it would still   
   be cheaper there.

   MP>Did your government, or farmers, do a better job of containing it?   
      
   I think you get more of the birds that carry it there. We have had   
   just a couple of cases of it in Canada which were easily contained   
   plus our farms are much smaller than the mega producers you have   
   down there where a case of it requires killing a LOT of chickens.   
      
   RM>> If accurate, looking online it appears the average US price per gallon

     >> becomes $4.62 or so, still a lot higher..   
      
   MP>The per gallon price here in my area was less than that, last I checked, so   
     >your area is quite a bit higher.   
      
   Yes, so it seems.. You'd think they would keep the price of milk low   
   for the health of kids. It doesn't seem good that you can buy soft   
   drinks for 1/3 the cost of milk.
