  2. Kind of like the Quebec provincial government.

  3.  @julesk1567  There's plenty of incentive. To cover that windfall tax for starters.

  11. <people cannot survive without groceries> Especially those who live in the city.

  12. Speculators are not the ones driving up food costs. It's the government with the high taxes and restrictions on production and distribution.

  13. While anything Liberals have done to control prices led to shortages and higher prices in the long run.

  26.  @carenthusiast4984  LOL. Taxing them =more money take out of the pockets of Canadians to compensate. <Greed is a major factor with these companies.> Also with ignorant Canadians alongside envy.

  32. Thanks to government-created record inflation.

  33. Price controls = shortages and higher prices for whatever's left. There's already one Venezuela. We don't need another.
