Canada=Venezuela? Who’da thunk it?
Bread basket to the world until they elect a socialist. Schadenfreude
With some more global warming they could grow things closer to home.
I thought they only ate Poutine and Kroff Dinner.
Food Justice Ping. Women and the poor hurt most.
My food budget is pretty small but food prices have about tripled in the last 5 years. I seldom buy anything that’s not on sale. Still able to find peaches for $.99 per pound.
“... 1,000 people across Canada, reporting that 45 per cent of people are buying juice and frozen fruits and vegetables rather than fresh produce due to the cost, with 26 per cent of Canadians overall consuming less produce.”
Frozen produce is as nutritious (and in some cases more so because it is flash frozen) as fresh vegetables and fruit.
Frozen juice has too much sugar, but is an acceptable substitute.
So what is the right Leftist response to this? Increase people’s food stamps but mandate that they use at least 20% of their Food Stamps to buy fresh fruit and vegetables. Nanny will pay for your food as long as you eat exactly what Nanny tells you to eat, Sheeple.
Here’s a radical idea:
Grow your own!!
What a bunch of BS. People purchase frozen cauliflower because they can control the portion.
Well there's your silver lining!
Control the food & water, control the population/s [read as SHEEP]
I know what the problem is. Canada has lots of truck farms and orchards.
What they lack is 20 million illegal aliens for cheap labor.
Anyone who buys their own groceries knows that food prices have at least doubled over the last few years. Canucks are just catching up?
Government idiocy is at least in part to blame. 40% of the US corn crop is made into worthless ethanol enriching farmers and a few big ethanol producers, but boosting food prices for everybody else and wasting billions in government subsidies of the ethanol boondoggle.
Not too long ago ground beef was $1.89/pound, now tomato’s are $1.99/pound and ground beef is $.59/pound.
