Obviously price gouging, especially when it comes to an essential area like food, is a cause for concern. Especially when there isn't a ton of competition between grocery conglomerates.
But to gaslight the public and try to place the blame for rising costs squarely on these companies seems wrong too. Inflation was caused in Canada by government spending and quantitative easing/cheap money printing. Period.
I don't have a quick answer how to stop price gouging but this isn't it. Threatening taxes and price controls. Nooo!
This us a result of such an artifical system like fiat.
The whole system needs to blow up but instead the federal governments just want more control and more taxes to keep the entie charade going.
So dystopian. 😧🤯😖
