Prices Compared: Reciprocity and Cost of Living in Victoria
The Victoria Colonist argues reciprocity will not meaningfully lower living costs, citing price comparisons between Victoria and Seattle. It notes similar or higher costs for meats and fruits, with occasional Seattle bargains, and questions advocates' claims of a 10 to 15 percent reduction. It invites debate and challenges politicians to guarantee cheaper living if reciprocity is approved.
