I was looking for a stamp to mail my letter within Canada and it's crazy to see the inflation. I still have some old stamps laying around.

1985 $0.32
my stamps are from 2001, $0.46 to mail within Canada
and I've written down that January 17, 2005 it went up to $0.50,
January 16, 2006 it went up to $0.51
and January 15, 2007 it went up to $0.52.
Right now it's at
$0.57.
International stamps were $1.40 back in 2002,
$1.45 in 2005 and $1.49 in 2006.
Now it's
$1.70.
U.S. Stamps were $0.55 in 2002,
$0.85 in 2006
and now it's
$1.00. That's like the biggest jump in price.
It's damn expensive to mail things from Canada now. Add gas taxes and other stuff on top of parcels :S
