Ottawa [Canada], July 1 (ANI): Amid the record-breaking heat in Canada, some people are trying to make a quick buck by selling high-priced fans, and air conditioners online as people are seeking relief from the sweltering summer.
Hundreds of people have died since the heatwave began to hit the western part of the country last week. The heatwave saw stores in British Columbia (BC) sell out of air conditioners and fans. Hotels in Vancouver were fully booked on Monday, drawing locals desperate for escape, CBC reported.
Local stores are selling out of air conditioners at a fast rate and installers have been swamped with up to four times as much business as usual.
