Prices going up ?

From a U.S. website -

After a year of nearly unprecedented demand for powersports machines coupled with quelled inventories, one dealership has informed its customers of rising prices ahead.
Larson’s Cycle Inc. took to its official Facebook page to announce that it had been informed by Yamaha of an increasing MSRP “on a majority of our units, parts, accessories, and oils in the coming several months.” The post informed patrons that the increases were the result of “the costs of fuel, goods, and services ... all rising dramatically” and that they should “Tighten down your Boot Straps, prob [sic] not the last of this you will see.”
According to the announcement, “the first of these price increases will take place on all 2021 full-size ATVs and Side-by-Side models. This new pricing will apply to all units invoiced starting June 1, 2021 and will include any existing confirmed orders you may have.”
Comments included advice such as “keep printing money!” and “It’s happening everywhere, not fun having to tell the consumer of price increases but it is part of being in sales. I’m just happy we stopped in when we did!” The entire post can be seen below.

 
Not surprised by this at all and expect it to happen more and more as the year continues.
Many of my suppliers have issued multiple price increases this year.
 
Depends on who you work for I guess.
We just gave out raises to our staff and the average raise was about 12%.
Sales are up, profits are up, they’re working harder, so why not?

How nice of you :)

BUT...
Avg SW eng salary in Toronto is $90,000
Avg SW eng salary in Texas is $120,000+++

12% raise aint doing much or maybe this is the Canada plan?

Normalize wages so the bottom and top delta is very tiny???

Lolz like thats the norm. It gets pocketed by the top execs. The soaring profits are all because of their decisions, dontcha know? Bonuses on bonuses.

Because ime, half the business owners think like you and half believe that all success is directly due to the owners and the employees should be compensated the minimum possible to keep attrition rates manageable.

Why not to compare with Ukraine or India as well?
Different countries, different circumstances, different markets.

Not the same.

Canada and the United States (U.S.) enjoy a unique relationship. The Canada-United States partnership is forged by shared geography, similar values, common interests, deep personal connections and powerful, multi-layered economic ties. Canada and the United States enjoy the largest trading relationship in the world. A secure and efficient flow of goods and people across the border is vital to both countries’ economic competitiveness and prosperity.

Move to Texas then. Once there's a shortage of workers, salaries will rise, or companies will tighten their belts.

And what this history lesson has to do with the fact that US and Canada are two different countries and Texas and Ontario are two different markets? There’s even no free movement of work force between US and Canada - you need a work permit to work across a border and there’s no preferences for Americans/Canadians compared to the citizens of other countries.

Not sure about that. I've had two offers of employment in the USA. As the employer is required to submit paperwork, they both fizzled out.
Now this is not the same as having a work visa and going there to find a job, but with the way the economy is it could still be a big risk.

They didnt tell you about the TN visa?
You can literally show up to the border last minute

Also maybe the employer should have hired a better lawyer

My brother worked in the us on an L1 (iirc) Visa. Apparently costs the company about 10K every three years to renew it. He got married a murican so the company paid for his green card application as it was half the price of Visa renewal.
