Oh man, that’s too bad. I hate the corporate takeover of agriculture. I totally noticed the degradation in Island Farms dairy when Agropur took over.

The natural gas comes from Alberta, the coal comes from BC though, no?

I’m being a bit cynical here, but is it because the coal comes from BC?

Between stagnant wages, insane housing costs, and rising food costs … What’s going to give?

Nice screen shot. Want to tell us something about it?

I believe in a society where all are cared for, but did we really just legislate another subsidy for boomers? They’re the richest demographic in Canada. What about housing for families? The Boomers are the ones that created this fucking mess. Just squeeze us more. I’d be more sympathetic if I hadn’t actually had multiple boomers complain to me because they can’t age out in their 5 bedroom homes on their acreages. The fuck? You made housing an investment and made a mint on it, sell your investment! Oh, it’s a ‘home’ now? My family of 6 is in a two bedroom derelict shack because 3% was apparently the cost of living increase, while housing has doubled in 5 years and food.

Food is getting so adulterated it is becoming cheaper and more satisfying to just cook everything from scratch. After using the homemade versions, I can’t go back … especially at the cost of pre-prepared stuff.
