But the cost of groceries, which have to be delivered via only a few highways in the region, is another.
"We have a highway that goes in and out of our community," she adds. "But I thought $47 for four chicken breasts was kind of crazy. I don't really know what normal grocery prices are down south." Those deliveries can require that trucks take day-long treks through dangerous terrain, in which they can encounter iced-over roads or frozen rivers. As CBC notes, winter freezes require groceries "be driven to Yellowknife and then flown into Inuvik."Mom Receives Surprising Backlash After Expressing Disappointment in Costco Graduation Cake
