HA HA HAAaaaa! Welcome Refugeees!! Ah HA HA HA!
They can stare at their PM’s picture while they sit at their empty plates. But he is cool and all, ya know.
many grocery prices have been taking leaps upwards down in the states, too
You voted for it, you got it. Elections have consequences.
What’s the price for “Kroff Dinner”?
I am Canadian and living in the east. These prices as seen in the source article are for groceries sold in the far north (Yukon, NWT, Nunavut). Prices have ALWAYS been sky-high up there on account of shipping costs. In fact, families there find it worth their while to order a year’s worth of supplies from down south, enough to fill a shipping container (and keep the container for storage). Where I am, it’s good farming country, locally grown produce is readily available in season, and prices, though a bit higher than in the US, are still bearable.
You likely meant: “Our US National debt is heading toward 20 Trillion dollars - (not Billion)
Read it and weep for our elderly and children...

What an Eff’ing grossly negligent disaster we’ve let happen. Its tragic that our one MILLION fallen soldier sons have been disgraced by our apathy.
RE: “U.S. national debt is heading for $20 billion (plus maxed out private and other debts), and we’re heading for worse trouble than our neighbors just to the north.”
Same observations as you - things not that bad in Montreal and Quebec City.
However, beef in Canadian stores was significantly higher than in Northeast US.
They’re going to need free healthcare when the malnutrition sets in.
Single Payer Health Care contributes a large portion of these costs....

Yes. Thank you!
They are so screwed.
These Ted Cruz attack threads need to stop!!!
Their new liberal ruler will have the goobermint take care of their every need in the new utopia.
I don’t think the cucumber prices are that far out of line. Those are “English” cucumbers, which are expensive here, too. I saw the same kind of cucumber yesterday in Walmart in Mesa, AZ for $2. With a 70-cent Canadian dollar, CDN$3 is about what you’d expect to pay given the exchange rates.
It is a screw for Canadians, of course, to see their food costs go up by 50% due to currency rates on top of the doubling in vegetable prices that we have seen in the past decade here in Arizona.
Ten U.S. dollars for a box of Frosted Flakes????? How can families make it?
Thanks for the update and perspective. I sure haven’t seen this reported anywhere else yet. This was the first I had heard of it. I could only pity our friends on Freedominion up there.
Depends on the time of year. Prices for cukes go down when they’re locally in season. But I concur on beef prices. I warned my folks last summer that the drought in Alberta would mean higher prices for beef.
And Trudeau would mean higher prices on everything. But they agreed with me on that one. Now, if only I could get that point across to my friends...
Now to get down to business: “our socialist idiot leader is more socialist than your socialist idiot leader!”
