Way to manage inflation, there, Steve.

Harper says, if you want to pay higher food costs vote Dion, I say if I want to pay higher food costs, save the election costs and keep Harper. He's doing a great job of watching the prices rise.

$1:
The annual increase in August was largely driven by higher prices for gasoline
Harper can no more control the price of gasoline then you can control your partisan comments.
