"Oh no, I'm one acquisition short of a monopsony, so you should all blame suppliers instead of me! I definitely have no influence over the cost of input!"
I want a public option. Make basic essentials purchasable online from a warehouse near you and then expand the existing Canada Post distribution network to bring me my damn rice and beans.
That would be awesome. Since it's a free market, what's stopping crown corporations from participating?
Conservatives
And the same public that's suffering from this price gouging is about to vote them in nationally. I don't understand people.
Right?! I can get my fruit and veg locally, but there should be no problem getting canned food, dried staples, and shelf-stable goods delivered.
I think the only thing stopping it is political will. I haven't heard anyone else even calling for it.
