Excuse me for stating the overwhelmingly obvious, but regulating the ultra processed food industry would be far more effective, efficient and cost everyone less, than humouring Big Pharma’s wading into the “weight-loss business” 🤓

I should also note that I am someone who has humanities degrees and who *also* has ended up really enjoying doing a lot of STEM-Type-Work professionally: I’m a big fan of both.
And I refuse to play along with the idea that one is superior to the other.

I agree that it’s high fucking time that we stopped acting like we need to grovel and constantly justify the existence of some of our most incredibly elemental and ancient human pursuits.

This is a big get for Avi Lewis; CUPE Ontario is a highly motivated and engaged union, and their leadership commands a lot of respect (well-deserved imo, they put in the work).
Honoured to have the endorsement of CUPE Ontario, which represents 300,000 workers.
I stand with their heroic members as they educate, care for us, and keep the province running every day — and fight to protect our public systems from privatization and underfunding.

Avi Lewis calls our high food prices "a market failure".
He is campaigning on setting up a chain of 50 gov-run, non-profit, public grocery stores costing ~$300m for initial infrastructure.
It would be cheaper than the $500m Carney is giving grocery biz "to help them with supply chain disruptions".
