Figures 2-4 are staggering. It makes me wonder how farmers are surviving financially

Last I heard...subsidies. So it's a fragile existence.

If those subsidies are coming from the government that means the burden is shifted to taxpayers.

Which means the common man is not only being grifted at the store with his hard earned, after-tax dollar, the tax portion of his earnings are also being grifted.

This is completely insane and unsurprising. I've always wanted to get my hands on comparisons like these.

Is the drastic upward slope of bread around 2004+ when Loblaws and others started the bread price fixing?

The OBVIOUS Solution is to allow these Conglomerates to BUY Competitors! That will Reduce Prices on Consumers and Raise Profits of the Workers!

A sub devoted to highlighting the ridiculous cost of living in Canada right now. We’d like to thank our corporate overlord Galen Weston Jr. of Loblaws for continually raising grocery prices so he can get a big fat bonus cheque every year while the rest of Canadians struggle to make ends meet.
