I know things are expensive in Canada, but check what an how much you can take across the border (both directions), lots of regulations. Then you won't get suprised.
With the current exchange rate of ~$1 US = $1.42 (C$) things really aren't expensive in Canada. We were there for 3 months last summer and are planning on going back this year.
Even gasoline and diesel fuel aren't all that bad with that exchange rate. The current gas price in Jasper is 99.9 cents per liter. This sounds like a lot, but after you correct between the difference between 4 liters and 1 gallon (~7%) and the exchange rate, the price is only ~$2.63/gal which isn't all that awful.
