They claim these purchases are for a limited-time operation. But since when does a 'limited' project require billions in permanent property? It makes more sense if you assume these are being built to hold anyone the regime decides is a problem to them.

Grocery shenanigans and Maple Washing. I don’t think anyone enjoys having to be a detective to buy food.

Farmers deserve straight answers, not loopholes. Ottawa must scrap changes forcing growers to buy seed every year and protect the right to save seed. I stand with the National Farmers Union: farmers’ rights, public breeding, and food security matter. Time for real action. youtu.be/XZzCFjUIvtc

Another way the grocery chains are ripping us off. Grocery rebates are a Band-Aid on a bullet wound. I appreciate the relief, but until goverment actually regulates how these chains operate, we’re just subsidizing corporate greed. We need systemic change, not just one-off checks.
