Groceries are unaffordable because nearly monopolistic businesses are increasing prices. And instead of investigating and enforcing heavy regulation of the distribution and sale of essentials in Canada to make groceries affordable we are going to remove taxes so that these businesses can keep their profit margin.

You know the conservatives are gonna take the next election. We'll be lucky if they don't start selling our teeth to the highest bidder.

I think you're right, the Liberals will struggle especially with the Canadian tradition of Prime Ministers not stepping down as party leader until they've lost an election. If Trudeau had enacted the electoral reform he promised the NDP would at least have had a chance. I'll miss my teeth 😬
