  1. Has someone run a correlation of food prices and central bank money printing? As well as carbon tax rates and cartel price fixing increases?

    1. If it was from money printing, you’d see increases across the board, but the hidden taxes on carbon and fertilizer is hidden, so you have no way to figure out how much that increase is across the supply chain.

  2. so, googling ‘maritime mps’ we find TWENTY are LIEberal, and 5 CONservatist.
    you need to PAY ATTENTION to the correlation newfie dipwads, they are doing it TO YOU
    with your FULL SUPPORT and cooperation. you friggin well deserve this IRREVERSABLE spike.
    and when will you put that ‘spike’ in the ‘heart’ of your voting behaviour?
    . . . . . . . . . sound of crickets . . . . ya l thought so.

    1. I’ve noticed that your politicians up there, on the left and some on the right, are even starting to tell Canadians that you will be feeling some pain. Just like the European leaders are telling their people.
      Pain is usually a strong teacher, but at this point it does make one wonder just how much of it the populace has to feel before the reality sets in.

      To be very honest, I’m not sure that you can vote your way out of this; at least the opportunity to do so seems to be shrinking quite rapidly.

  3. What’s scary is the thought that they might try to “fix” things.
    What’s scarier than that is the expectation from Canadian Retarded Voters that they can fix things.

    1. Didn’t your glorious PM already ‘fix’ this with that grocery affordability measure? See? Fait accompli!

  4. At some point producers are going to have to shrink size offerings. 6 hot dogs a pack. 12 cheese slices, smaller jars etc. Inflation or not, I’d like to see these options especially on pantry stuff.

    1. Shrinkflation has been happening since Covid. It is nothing new. But it could accelerate, for sure.

      1. Different, shrinkflation is selling the same product pretending it’s the same as it was. I want smaller product offerings that are obvious. 12 vs 6. 500ml vs 250 ml. They went from 500g to 375g pretending we wouldn’t notice.

        1. From what I’ve observed during grocery shopping is the price doesn’t change much, showing that packaging and profit (multiple levels) drive majority of the cost. So even if available in a smaller serving, the price difference won’t be great.

          Example: 1 litre chocolate milk C$3.79, 500 ml $3.39. This was last week.

          1. JFC, it’s like no one understands basic math any more.

            Let me be clear about this: if you’re not checking the legally required weight label of what’s in the package before deciding what to buy, you’re too dumb to vote.

            If you’re not dividing the package cost by the weight to see what the per-unit co- you know what, never mind that. If you’re not looking at the shelf label and the legally required per-unit cost posted there, you’re too dumb to vote.

            “Shrinkflation”? If you think grocery stores can print money and inflate the money supply, you’re too dumb to vote.

  5. Grinding the middle class to dust between the wheels of inflation and taxes. IOW, the inflation is not a mistake.

  6. Next up:
    “That’s a nice little RRSP/RIFF/Pension you have there”, or “What a nice gain in your TFSA and we made a mistake allowing it”.
    Follow quickly by:
    “That’s a nice capital gain on your primary residence sale” followed by “That’s a nice unrealized capital gain on your home”.

    If it weren’t for family, I’d be back in the States to stay.

  7. Dang! Next time Safeway has a sale … which have been coming fast and furious as they desperately try to keep pace with alternative grocery stores … I’m gonna load up my SUV and drive a mercy mission to Canada. For fun and profit. Hey! I AM a colonial capitalist running dog American, after all.

    1. I can give you a long list of American products no longer available in the post-nation state that I occasionally make a trip down to buy.

  8. God knows why Blubber Doug hasn’t resumed US booze sales. I don’t know how he even has authority to order the removal in the first place.
