Don’t let the media give the microphone to the “food professor” conman
I am refreshed seeing these comments. I grumbled lightly about Carney and was met with “hey at least its better than nothing!” from my family.
I think he’s obviously better than PP head, but the liberals are still just in it for themselves and corporations. Otherwise, we would have had voter reform. Hell the NDP had to push for the dental care program. If it wasnt for the NDP I question if we would get anything.
Okay. As long as this doesn’t result in prices going higher…
This is the important bit though: “There will be other affordability measures announced on Monday, including steps to fix structural problems with Canada’s food supply chain, and improve competition.”
Okay. As long as this doesn’t result in prices going higher…
oh…we know that will be the result. Galen won’t pass on that opportunity.
i can see that slimy sub human fuck making invisible play-doh snakes between his greasy rat claw hands already.
Put the Weston family (especially Galen) up on charges of racketeering, collusion and price-fixing. Then we can talk.
But have you considered giving them a blank cheque subsidy disguised as a consumer rebate?
I want non-profit grocery stores, not a subsidy. Isn’t this guy supposed to be an economics whiz?
for the 1%, yes.
There is one somewhere, I think in the maritimes, that does quite well.
Let’s see a ban on realtime digital price tags while we’re discussing affordability. Or a daily limit on when they can be updated.
Two shoppers should not have to wonder if they’re paying different prices for the same goods because an algorithm said one would be willing or desperate enough to pay more.
Ban it now before the practice becomes commonplace.
If I pick something up from a shelf for one price and it scans as a different price because they changed the tag midway through my shopping trip, isn’t that like… kinda illegal? Like… we’re just allowing this?
The personalized pricing method is more insidious. Security cameras track you around the store and change prices just for you and again do the person behind you. They know it’s you by facial recognition or by the identifiers in your grocery discount app.
And then it does what, at the checkout? Like… what if I go to a real person?
It’s already happening without the help of digital tags.
