The bigger wholesalers have been ALLOWED to buy their competitors. This required circumventing anti trusts laws, with the agreement of politicians, in exchange for election financing (?). When so few 'competitors' remain, is it not obvious that it is easy for them to set food prices? 70 years ago, in Smiths Falls ON, one would buy eggs, butter, milk, cheese and seasonal vegetables from local farmers who were COMPETING at the local market to sell their produce. To completely snuff out competition, the bigger players got politicians to enact regulations forbidding direct transactions with farmers under the pretense of health risks. NOW, you can only buy the aforementioned products from/through the 3 Giants wholesalers. Galen Weston's lies with a straight face: He is well aware that neither Trudeau nor Poilievre will fix the food cartels because both need the cartels' money to pay for the electioneering. For a few millions $ of electioneering financing, the 3 bigger players get a license to bleed us for Billions $... The parliamentary inquiry is a farce that both Weston and the MP's act for the benefit of the electorate. How long will it take for us to break the big three monopoly and return to competition? How long will it take for us to be allowed, ANEW, to buy directly from farmers and bypass the big 3??

Some of the governing bodies there seem to behave like criminals.

Australia is apparently having a "inquiry" into the high food prices also. But since it was announced weeks ago, there hasnt been anything about it. It makes me hope and pray that the government department heading this inquiry arent corrupt as well, though that would be surprising.

@@iliax-se3nn Thank you. I can't watch the rest of this video. It makes me sick.

I just spent $145 on groceries. I'm one person. I bought nothing but frozen, store brand, food and necessities. I even used coupons. Back in 2019 and 2020 I was spending $50 on two weeks' worth of groceries. It's ridiculous. How are we supposed to survive this? I'm not even buying enough to properly sustain myself. I only eat one to two meals a day, small meals. It doesn't help that no one is actually hiring and that my job, like many others, keeps cutting hours despite their company profits soaring. The tell us we're doing poorly in sales, but we're breaking sale records for past years. Our managers are getting bonuses while I fight to get twenty hours a week. What happened to full time jobs?? And no, I do not work at a kid job. My job's minimum age requirement is 18. If you are only going to hire adults, then you need to pay them like adults. The economy and our governments are failing us.

Yes thank you farmers for all your hard work.

A frozen fish our household buys has tripled in cost. Tripled. 😬

Depends where it's from. Other countries can slap on export taxes or raise wages and there isn't much we can do. Protect marine environments reducing the fishable water. Also a lot of things coming from underdeveloped nations have been priced irresponsibly low for generations. 3x is too much though, it doesn't matter what it is

The staggering naivete of giving a subsidy to retailers and expecting them to pass it on to consumers.

I grew up poor on a farm, we had dairy cows and later beef cows. Our clothes came from the second-hand store and our equipment was old and worn out. I no longer have cattle, but still farm. I do not eat fruit or vegetables. I buy my beef direct from a farmer friend for less than a third the store prices. My boring grocery list is butter, milk, eggs, cheese and bacon, salt, sardines, and once a month a loaf of gluten free bread as a treat as I'm celiac. Buy direct from farmers if you can, skip the middle man. Stop eating imported goodies from tropical climates and out of season foods. Stop paying for processed garbage. Stop supporting a corrupt food industry. With the exception of the sardines I eat a 100 mile diet.

As a Canadian who works in retail, this hits hard 😢
