So let’s get this straight: the Liberals are taxing food-insecure Canadians to feed billions into their growing bureaucracy.
A year after the PM said he’d be judged on grocery prices, Canada has some of the worst food inflation in the G7, 2.2 million food bank visits in one month, and 1 in 4 families are food insecure.
Nearly 3 years after Minister Champagne’s photo-op with grocery CEOs and his Thanksgiving promise, prices rose 8.6%.
Liberal hidden taxes, including the industrial carbon tax and inflationary spending, drive up the cost of growing, transporting, and buying food, while the weak dollar makes imports pricier.
It’s time to reverse the spending and taxes that drove food prices up and paycheques down so Canadians can afford to eat.
