~~Total Economy Collapse~~

put it this way.. in my province of Quebec they are already talking of taxing fuel up to at least.. 12 cents more per liter.. that increase will be felt by ALL consumers .... as prices on anything thats transported using fuel will ALL go UP UP..and continue to go UP.. So what im saying is if you have some extra money it would be very wise to buy all neccesities NOW!!.. before the BIG increase. and to store any thing that will last a long time..

I'm sorry, I didn't realize that you are in Canada. I agree that raising the tax on fuel will be a hard hit to your country's economy but that alone is not going to destroy your country and it may not even happen. I also read what you wrote above about not seeing anything beyond 2015. I think you're worrying unnecessarily. I don't know of Canada has had recessions before but the U.S. has and there's always a recovery. Right now many countries are feeling the pinch because so many are financially dependent upon each other but they are all working towards recovery as well. If it makes you feel more secure to have extras put away, by all means do that, but try not to stress yourself out too much.
