Groceries in Trudeau’s Canada are so expensive that they’re driving up the poverty rate

“Marginal food insecurity captures worry about running out of food or limited food selection due to a lack of money,” said the note. “Moderate insecurity captures compromises in the quality or quantity of food due to lack of money; severe food insecurity captures missed meals, reduced food intake and at the most extreme going days without food.”

In a recent report, Statistics Canada revealed that year over year Canadians were paying more for basic groceries. According to their data, prices had increased:

6 percent more for potatoes to an average $4.97 per kilogram;

7 percent more for stewing beef to $20.48 a kilogram;

9 percent more for tea to $4.39 per 20 bags;

11 percent more for canned tuna to $1.82 per 170 gram can;

12 percent more for carrots to $3.65 per 1.4 kilogram bag;

14 percent more for hamburger to $11.72 a kilogram;

15 percent more for baby food to $1.64 per 128 millilitre jar;

18 percent more for peanut butter to $6.27 per one kilogram jar;

19 percent more for orange juice to $4.70 per two litre jug;

20 percent more for baby formula to $41.16 per 900 grams;

27 percent more for white sugar to $2.92 per two kilogram bag.

However, the news should not be surprising to Canadians considering a December report which estimated that food costs for a family of four in Canada will increase by $700 in 2024 amid the ongoing carbon tax and rising inflation.

Nobody voted for the clown. Every riding that was closing as conservative magically changed to liberal in the last 60 seconds. It’s all just a rigged game.

Wake up. It’s a rigged game.

A little boy asked me should he put his vote upon the left?
A little boy asked me should he put his vote upon the right?
I say it really doesn’t matter where you put your vote
‘Cause someone else will come along and move it
And it’s always been the same
It’s just a complicated game
Oh, it’s just a complicated game

Life is never easy when a liberal is in charge.

You are 100% correct. It’s frustrating that people don’t see it.
