Heck yeah.

Right?! I can get my fruit and veg locally, but there should be no problem getting canned food, dried staples, and shelf-stable goods delivered.

I think the only thing stopping it is political will. I haven’t heard anyone else even calling for it.

“Oh no, I’m one acquisition short of a monopsony, so you should all blame suppliers instead of me! I definitely have no influence over the cost of input!”

I want a public option. Make basic essentials purchasable online from a warehouse near you and then expand the existing Canada Post distribution network to bring me my damn rice and beans.
