Dear sir:
\u00a0“The price of food is rising!”\u00a0 What is not rising in price?\u00a0\u00a0 We Canadians have it really tough! Is this true?<\/a>\u00a0

What proportion of income do Canadians use to buy food?<\/a>\u00a0 How does that compare with other countries?\u00a0 Do those other countries have the quality and variety of food that we have?\u00a0

The truth is we Canadians are among the most privileged and well fed populations in the world and all we do is complain and our political so-called leaders inflame discontent. Perhaps if we we learned to shop in the produce isle and learned to cook we would recognize that we are among the luckiest people on the globe.\u00a0

” Axe the tax<\/a>” … and exacerbate the disparities in Canadian society?\u00a0 No!\u00a0 Perhaps there should be a 5% tax on our purchases of food so the government can provide food to those Canadians less fortunate.\u00a0

The right-wing philosophy of “Me, me, me”\u00a0 is undermining our caring society and has absolutely no solutions to the problems we face.
