When it comes food price inflation in Canada, grocery stores aren’t the only issue

What, 10 maybe 20 cents of wheat in a 5 dollar loaf of bread, 30 dollar steak and we get 3 bucks, we don’t really matter until North Americans get hungry!

Actually 18 cents in a $5 loaf at 9$ wheat to be exact
You would think new guy/farmer/chuck3 would know that ?

None of you made mention of the increase in oil prices because of supply and demand and resulting higher energy prices as a driver of inflation!

The increase in energy prices also has a multiplier effect. And compared to the carbon tax portion, a much greater multiplier.

Isn't it time to be honest and take your blinders off?

So how did the carbon tax spike inflation? Polly said farmers added increased production costs to their grain when they sold it.Think someone should clue him in how farms operate.Just surprised actual farmers believe him.

Yes it was bad messaging but the intent was not to show the cost of carbon tax was passed on by farmers. It was trying to show the added costs to farmers in terms of what the average consumer would buy from a farmer like bread. Not done well enough to not be picked apart by detractors such as yourself. Now carbon tax on delivery and production of energy intensive crop inputs, and transportation of food products to retail is a straighter concept to understand for the consumer to understand in light of current food prices. Inflation is a worldwide problem but carbon tax further exacerbates the sting. There is a reason gst is zero rated on food, and women’s paper as is cost of doing business. Carbon tax is a poorly thought out cash grab crippling our economy.

Canada is actually sitting not too bad in comparison to most other countries as far as inflation.Inflation is caused by many things.But supply and demand is by far the biggest influence.To pin the whole inflation problem on the carbon tax is absolutely crazy.when Polly dodges answering questions and skipping debates that may be why.

To ignore that carbon tax is not a part of inflation problem is just as crazy

Polly has ditched debates in the leadership and has never seen him take unscripted questions.Trudeau has attended many events that he takes questions.A person can say what people want to hear easily when he does not allow to be questioned .
