It will be interesting to see the stats next year on Canadian resident travel.
According to Stats Canada, during the 2nd quarter of 2005 (the latest stats available) Canadians made 50 million visits within the country.
About 42.2 million of those visits were to visit friends or relatives and for pleasure.
The number of visits and how we travelled will make for interesting comparisons this time next year, as the 2005 numbers released so far, show that for 93 % of those visits, we travelled by car or by truck.
Here is how the price of gas (regular) stood this past week across the country. All prices are BEFORE taxes.
| Place | Price Per Litre (before taxes) |
| Prince George | 82.9 |
| Whitehorse | 95.9 |
| Vancouver | 79.7 |
| Victoria | 85.1 |
| Kamloops | 77.2 |
| Ft. St. John | 84.6 |
| Calgary | 75.3 |
| Edmonton | 73.4 |
| Regina | 77.4 |
| Winnipeg | 76.0 |
| Toronto | 66.2 |
| Ottawa | 65.8 |
| Montreal | 63.4 |
| Fredricton | 71.0 |
| Halifax | 69.1 |
| Charlottetown | 74.1 |
| St. Johns | 74.5 |
