StatsCan report on 2003 Survey of Household Spending, reveals interesting information. It shows that our highest expenses are taxes (20%), housing (19%), transportation (14%) and food (11%). Our average spending increased 1% in 2003 compared to the previous year. The report suggests that most of the increased spending was on electronic gadgets like digital cameras, DVD players and cell phones.
Ottawa, given that our biggest expense is taxes, how about sharing some of those big surpluses with us, eh?
