The Shocking Reason Your Grocery Bill Keeps Rising

from Return to Reason · host Return to Reason

Canada’s grocery bills are out of control, hitting 6.2% inflation, the highest in the G7. But this isn’t just about rising prices, it’s about government policies and structural problems that are making it worse.  Dr. Sylvain Charlebois, Canadian professor and researcher, exposes how trade barriers, weak competition, and financial programs are fueling food inflation. Sylvain says Canada’s economy is drifting behind the U.S. and shares what policymakers are failing to tell you.  Your wallet is on the line, and the warning signs are clear: without real policy change, prices will keep climbing and Canada’s economy could face serious consequences.
