Canadian grocery stores are fleecing Canadians

OK I was partially wrong. I had forgot that the Conservative government passed legislation in 2012 that would have gradually changed the retirement age for OAS to 67 from 65 starting in 2023. I believe that was a prudent move. Yet one of the first things Trudeau did was reverse that policy which was done solely for political reasons.
Hi Eddie, Dole or Del Monte? If I look at prices for Del Monte mango nectar I see
Walmart $1.98
Loblaws & Metro $2.99
Great Canadian Superstore $2.49
Costco case of 12 $24.99 ($2.08 each)
Given those prices I highly doubt that No Frills is selling it normally for $1.00. Perhaps it was a clearance price.
Just curious Kirk, if you can search the prices at all those other places, why can't you search No Frills and only speculate?
These are 1 litre cartons ……mostly I see them for $2 plus now including pineapple juice…….and Optimum points are getting crazy now ………now you see them then the offers disappear NO FRILLS is bad for this now
And that is with Trudeau dealing with a pandemic. Not that I am a Trudeau fan but stats are stats and he is clearly not the worst like people say.A nice little summary of Harper's economic record in his 10 years as PM.
Their report assesses the economic performance of nine prime ministers going back to 1946. Spoiler alert: it concludes that the Harper government's is the worst in postwar Canadian history
10 Reasons Stephen Harper should ignore his own economic advice | CCPA
Prime Minister Stephen Harper is campaigning to “stay the course” on Canada’s economy. There are a lot of reasons why the PM should think again – and the fact that we have been officially in a recession (as of September 1’s latest numbers) ranks right up there. Here are 10 more reasons based on...policyalternatives.ca
Again, I admitted I voted for Harper. He was actually my first vote ever. I had never voted before but I believed what he said.
Well ask yourself this? Look at the Federal government website. How much money has been sent to foreign countries? How much money wasted to give to refugees? The answer is in the billions. It means we pay too much taxes. That is one of the reasons Trudeau has a mass immigration policy, he is increasing the taxbase so he can spend more. As for retiring, Lol! For every immigrant, Trudeau is giving immigration to the retired parents of recent immigrants, who will collect OAS and benefit from universal healthcare. Under Harper, they were given super visa which meant no OAS and no free healthcare.
This was not a pandemic, it was a scamdemic. Imagine locking down everybody for a virus with less then 0.1% death rate. The turned the world upside down and they never had any intention to let us go till the truckers came to the rescue and held Ottawa hostage. Trudeau was following the corrupt far-left organization the WHO. The plandemic benefited the rich a lot, they made a lot of money off this.
The government will not cap grocery profits in a free market economy, not even communist (as you righties like to call him) Trudeau will do that. The thing that may help is more competition which is why Liberals are trying to encourage European grocery chains to come into Canada.

I never wrote anything about capping profits, that is Socialist and Trudeau's lapdog Singh proposed that.

More competition is needed but also stop giving away so much social benefits to refugees and people who have kids will help. Putting a moratorium on immigration for five years to slow down population growth will help a lot. The idea is to reduce demand while maintaining the same supply. Prices will drop.
The Libs are limiting immigration a little too late but it's a start. How I get around high food prices is I look for sales and I use coupons and rewards and optimum points. Also I shop at independent grocery stores where produce is cheaper than Loblaws.
Needless to say PeePee won't help either. Thinking that eliminating carbon taxes will solve the problem. Ya, like saving 5 cents on a $5 loaf of bread is an insult.
Did anyone else get an invitation from Longo's cooking class?
The upcoming Presidential election will be critical. Billionaires are starving for even bigger tax cuts while the the price of goods and services goes skyward. The media says inflation is subsiding, I've yet to see it on my grocery bill.

Well that remains to be seen. Poilievre will not help but he will minimize the damage caused by Trudeau, that in itself is help. What I do not understand is how after 9 years of having the most corrupt government ever there are people not willing for change. Another term with Trudeau will be total disaster for Canada.
Well cutting it a little is nothing but political theatre. He needs to cut it 100%, especially asylum seekers. All should be turned back, not even one should be getting a dollar of taxpayers money. Trudeau still serves the Century Initiative.
As for food, true say. Got to shop around to look for better prices. I avoid Loblaws all together, the store is a total rip off. No choice. Trudeau makes us poorer while he lives like a king.
Trudeau ensures the billionaires make even more profits with his mass immigration policy. That is the goal of the McKinsey consulting firm and the Century Initiative. You will never see grocery prices go down with Trudeau in power
I got news for you the conservatives allow immigration and will continue to do so, they won't %100 eliminate it. No political party can.
Sorry, it is Del Monte. However, my wife goes to No Frills about once a week and buys 6 containers and the price there is always $1. each and it is not a sale price but their regular price. And my wife never lies. LOL.
Exactly local European stores Afghanistan stores small local stores without all the points programs trading cards all the frilly advertising will have lower prices …..
