ICYMI - Jesse Kline: Pointless Tucker Carlson motion shows Jagmeet Singh has turned NDP into parody of itself accessd
Singh spends about as much time attacking the people who run private companies as he does throwing mud at his political opponents. “A bag of used to cost $4.99 then $5.99 and now $6.99. Grocery CEOs are doing everything to stack their profits,”
Although a 40 per cent increase in the price of apples sounds scary, there’s no truth to Singh’s claim. I went over my grocery bills for the past 2½ years and found that the price of apples always fluctuates quite widely. Yes, I generally paid $4.99 a bag in 2020 and $5.99 a bag last month, yet I spent $6.49 for 1.36 kilograms of apples on Sept. 20, 2020, and paid $2.99 earlier this week.
This idea that food price inflation is a result of greedy supermarket CEOs jacking up prices to pad their bottom lines and not overspending during the pandemic, lockdowns that caused supply chain chaos, steep increases in the carbon tax and policies like supply management that limit competition — all of which the New Democrats have supported — is something Singh has been harping on for some time.
