Your report: Price drops across Canada?

[CBC News]

CBC News wants you to do some reporting! Our economic journalists have been following the story of dollar-related price drops across the country: how, with the climb of the Canadian dollar and it's new, improved purchasing power, retail prices of products bought from American suppliers don't seem to be falling.

There were murmurs of price gouging and complaints from consumer groups, and replies from retail representatives. And now we're hearing that prices on certain items, in some stores across the country, may be cut.

Here's where we want to hear your stories about price drops: Tell us:

- If you've seen price cuts in the stores you shop in.
- What products.
- How much the drop was and whether it was enough to get you to buy!

Oh geez, you know what.
My mom is a small convenience owner.
Guess what, our price is increasing
Why?
Because the supplier and wholesales are raising THEIR prices, we are left with no choice but to raise our prices. Economy has more to do with how much oil is, not how much dollar is.
Get that right..please
