"Their frustration is understandable, but this kind of expectation betrays a misunderstanding of what's actually driving food prices higher in this country."
I'm convinced the cons don't actually want to win. Pierre Poilievre is gotta be the snobbiest, most arrogant, most unlikable, wet sandwich of a man I've ever seen. Every election they find one worse than the last to run against JT. I can't even remember that last couple, since they toss em off a cliff once they lose
Lol any reports of rent prices going down in this city are a lie. Any stories of a landlord adjusting their rent to charge a tenant less is fantasy. The housing market goes up, we pay higher rent, the market goes down we pay higher rent. Economy good? Higher rent. Economy bad? Higher rent.
Nobody passes on the savings, nobody is getting cheaper rent
I just saw a dentist for the first time in 10 years, after finally getting a union job with benefits. The dentist asked why I hadn't seen anyone in a decade, like dude who can afford it? I'm so happy I have these benefits
Can someone chime in? Why aren't there chains of grocery stores run by the government to ensure prices are minimal and people can get food at fair prices? Does any country do that?
I dunno, I live in a place run by a co-op and it's really just a group of tyrannical old people with nothing to do, who want to control everyone's life and are every bit as greedy as corporations.
They can be usurped. Just nobody wants to run it, young residents don't want to be involved or don't have time, so you end up with the old busy bodies with nothing to do running it. They run unopposed a lot
No. I saw American CIA death squads killing my people, funding one side of a civil war while Russia funded the other. America and Russia used us as pawns, America wanted to keep Russia out of this hemisphere, and destroying my country and people was an acceptable loss. After our country was gutted, we fled to safety and any way to find work to survive, so we went to the place that kept saying it was the best in the world, and we were called wet backs, and told we were job thieves.
After all this, my country was rebuilt by American corporations, who now own everything. Now, half the American politicians who fought so hard to keep Russia out, are sucking Putin dick and continue to blame my race for all the ills of their own fucked up society. And the other half is self righteous, telling everyone else around the world how to behave and calling everyone else out, while forgetting all the shit their country did and never made amends for.
No, I don't buy that anymore. No matter how left your are, If you even so much as disagrees with one little thing, you get called a Trump supporter or a fascist, etc. Everyone's an extremist now and you can't have a dissenting opinion or wrong think or you get called a heathen essentially.
The right has been behaving like this for decades, but seeing the left doing too now means we're fucked. Nobody is good enough, nobody is a "true Scotsman", so it's just a bunch of college age liberals in a circle calling each other Maga cause they can't agree
Imagine your white ass lecturing a native person who your people raped and murdered, about genocide lol. Get the fuck out of my continent and then you can tell Israelis to "go back to Europe". You first colonizers.
Most people don't have a choice. Where I live there's a food basics next door, and the next closest is a metro that's like a 20 minute bus ride away+waiting for the bus.
I got 4 people at home, including one teenager. If I bought food only every other week, I would need like 3 carts and 3 arms to pull them and load em on the bus with lol
I go to food basics and it's worse. I constantly find expired food in the fridges and shelves, items 2-3 weeks past. I went to buy fresh English muffins and found them frozen, when I asked they told me they freeze them and then thaw them out and shelf then when they're low, so they're charging me fresh food prices for frozen bread. They also never clean their produce shelves. There are stains on the shelves I've been looking at for 2 years.
Every worker in Canada should have a union and it's a disgrace to this country that they don't.
I'm a union worker so I refuse to use the self checkouts. When an employee points me to one I shake my head and refuse. I want to be checked out by a human who is treated well and is paid a fair wage, not by a machine that's just there so a corporation can cut out a worker.

I married a Jewish woman who told me she doesn't know what that means. Cause she's Canadian and has no interest in the politics of a country across the planet. So why people like you take it out on her, simply because of her heritage, I have no idea... Oh no wait I do, as a native I am well aware of your tactics.
That quote reminds me of another one I heard "from sea to shining sea" where you guys colonized, raped and killed us and took all our land from sea to shining sea
