They might do some pageantry for like 3 months before they raping every system in order to sell it to their rich fuck friends making life worse for every Canadian who makes less than a million dollars a year
PC hasn’t existed federally in decades. The Conservative party of today is the Reform party renamed.
The PC party from before is the Libs and the old libs are the NDP
How will higher taxes, higher immigration, and less public services make things better?
That’s all that has been promised by PP
Pot calling the kettle black.
Political leader of the country pointing out his main critic’s crass hypocrisy, but yeah
What has the Trudeau administration done anyway against food inflation in Canada?
You’re right, what HAS the Trudeau government done about something it has nothing to do with?!?
AND WHY HAVEN’T THEY DONE IT YET?!?
Look into dairy controls and egg quotas. Shit we even had the Canadian Wheat Board until 2015. Price controls in Canada have been in place for decades.
Government doesn’t gouge you for profits; Loblaws, Metro, Empire, and other for-profit grocery companies do. Hell, the Loblaws/Weston cartel secretly fixed high prices for bread for years, gouging consumers to line their pockets.
Unless you’re suggesting that the entire food production chain and grocery stores are nationalized, there’s pretty much sweet fuck all the government CAN do. If you’re going to throw blame around, at least educate yourself about what causes inflation first and blame the right people. Otherwise it’s just a shrill straw man argument.
Uh how about they break up the dairy and egg cartels and abolish quotas so there can be some real fucking competition.
You literally listed dairy quotas in your comment as if it’s a good thing. It’s anti competitive, plain and simple, and guess who has the jurisdiction to deal with anti competitive business practices on a national scale.
Conservatives would be even less likely to abolish the quotas. Their main voters are farmers, which benefit the most without having to compete as much.
Oh, totally it’s anti-competitive, and I don’t disagree with you, but we were talking anti-inflationary / price stability measures. It’s not a good solution (we regularly pay more for milk and eggs), but it does keep the price from jumping around, and for-profit companies from price gouging.
How TF does a cartel that regulates production and dictates prices keep those companies from gouging?
They literally control the entire industry, there’s no customer protections at all.
Unfortunately that statement demonstrates a functional misunderstanding of how supply management operates.
Farmers / quota pools are mandated by these government regulations to have supply marginally exceed expected consumer demand specifically to address common issues with any commodity sector such as price gouging (to protect consumers), and predatory pricing (to protect producers).
Corporations serve society, not visa versa. If lighter measures do not work, nationalize 'em all. (Many lighter measures have not yet been tried.)
PP would be worse, though.
In my experience corporations serve their shareholders (and maybe board and executive s).
