      I’d love to see an article that outlines margins of the major canadian grocery retailers from 2019 – 2025. If their margins remain the same I’ll start to believe the excuses.

      „Preston said that Canada tends to get hit harder than the United States — particularly in the winter months — because less fresh food is grown north of the border. That leaves Canada more vulnerable to import price impacts and currency fluctuations.

      Bilyk, in her analysis, also pinned much of the blame for recent food inflation on rising import costs. Foods like coffee and chocolate are facing higher prices globally due to extreme weather and trade tariffs, she said.“

      First person in this comment section to admit climate change is a chief cause (as the article states) wins

      It’s super cool than whenever there is tax relief for things like groceries, Galen Weston Jr just does a Mr Burns style *YOINK* and pockets the difference, keeping peoples grocery bill totals the same as they were before. A reasonable person would’ve hoped that the Liberals, after seeing the exact same thing happen when Trudeau announced a tax break on groceries and it didn’t help anyone other than Presidents Choice would’ve learned the second go around.

      Apparently customers are still buying therefore Corps going after the few dollars still left on the table.

      We are taxing the crap out of farmers and transport with the pretence of environment so the cost is repasssed. It’s not greed, it’s the cost of the government’s policies. Groceries are outrageous. Costs $60 dollars for 2 ribeye steaks… Who can afford this?

      The words:

      > “Canadians will hold us to account by their experience at grocery store.” – Mark Carney, 2025

      Actual experience at grocery store:

      > food inflation at more than double overall inflation in 2025 at 5%, so far up 50% over 2025 at 7.5% in 2026

      Canadians holding him accountable:

      > He gave a great speech at Davos! We love him! We’ll boost him in the polls!

      Once again proving that Canadians, and particularly Liberal supporters, don’t care what Liberal governments actually do as long as they mouth nice words.

      The only lesson the Tories should draw from this is to lie like fucking hell during platitude and virtue signalling-filled campaigns, because that’s what wins elections. Because apparently nice speeches are all they need to fill their stomachs. Oh, and of course food banks in ever growing, record numbers.

      I don’t see much evidence here that people are reading the article. It says inflation at the grocery store slowed, and that the main driver in the recent bump was a 12 percent increase in restaurant prices. The article notes a *decrease* in the price of fresh fruit, and it says that prices are up globally. Canada’s price increases are about 1.9% higher than what the US is seeing, with the following explanation:

      >Some of the factors affecting grocery store inflation in Canada are global, such as droughts from years’ past leading to smaller cattle herds and tougher growing conditions for coffee beans, Preston noted.

      >But even as commodity prices put pressure on grocery shelves across the world, in the United States, food prices rose 2.9 per cent in January.

      >Preston said that Canada tends to get hit harder than the United States — particularly in the winter months — because less fresh food is grown north of the border. That leaves Canada more vulnerable to import price impacts and currency fluctuations.

      I get that people are upset about grocery prices and Galen is in the Epstein files but can we at least try to read the article?

      how is CPI still only like ~2-3%? Absolutely rigged. My prop taxes went up 28% this year. The only thing not skyrocketting in price every year is gasoline. I can’t think of a single other thing that has stayed relatively the same. Electronics maybe.

    20. T-Rexxed-69 on

      Im sure gouverment induced inflation and packaging taxes aren’t effecting it all.

    21. mamajampam on

      Does anyone even read these articles before chiming in? “Corporate greed” is about the only thing not causing it according to those interviewed for the article. The weak Canadian dollar , Canada’s retaliatory tariffs on the US (now removed) and the Liberal government’s tax holiday in early 2025 are all named as contributors to the jump.

      surely the voluntary, industry run, good faith, grocery code of conduct that was implemented on january 1st is working.

      Australian beef is in the fridge at Superstore for half the price of Canadian beef

      2022 : Let them eat cake

      2023: Let them eat cupcakes

      2024: Let them eat muffins

      2025: Let them have a cookie.

      This ever changing „basket of goods“ shows that we are paying more, for less quality as inflation grows.

      Canadians making tough choices at the store, replacing things they really enjoy for things they don’t really like, because they’ve been priced out, will contribute to overall unhappiness with quality of life.

      I read the headline and imagined this super expensive sausage singlehandedly driving the average grocery price increase. I need a nap.

      I wish my stocks would go up 7% every 6 months.
      Best I can do is maybe 9% / year (if I average it over 20 years)

      The Canadian dollar has been in the abysmal 73 cent range for YEARS now! NOT the issue.

      While fuel prices have dropped have you seen the price of diesel!? The cornerstone of everything shipped, harvested, planted etc! Naaaw that couldn’t have anything to do with it! And why is diesel so expensive? The carney!

      Add to that the cost of potash production! Getting to net zero is virtually unattainable and incredibly expensive. Naaaw that couldn’t have anything to do with it! Why is Canadian potash so expensive? The carney. Plus our export of potash is hampered by these increased costs that do not exist anywhere else!

      What about all the steel that goes into facilities, equipment etc? The carney’s net zero policies impact those costs as well which guess what folks? That gets passed along to us at the store!

      You wait…. the carney plans to tariff countries we import from that don’t adhere to his zealous net zero objectives. You think prices are high now, wait for him to drop that bombshell. If he doesn’t that will kill our agricultural sector as it now costs more to produce food in Canada than it does virtually everywhere else.

      The grift is on….. And you know what is the saddest part? He expects Canadians to make sacrifices while he hides his wealth from taxation using those offshore tax LOOPHOLES he refuses to shut down! There is no hope for anyone that falls for that!

      Show me the prices the farmers are selling for and show me the change in price over the last 20 years. And lets see why prices have increased.

      I mean, I know the answer already it’s obvious that between getting raw materials and then processing them into goods to sell to stores, somewhere along the line people are price gouging.

      I think it’s time to see which items had the highest price increases and it times business’s explain WHY they increased the prices. And if they can’t justify it, it’s time to bring in a „Excess profit tax.“ Where if a business is making more profit and their costs aren’t increasing. They get slapped with a tax. The money for the tax can then be used for a public grocer option.

      Have the price gougers pay for their competition. And if they don’t want to pay, then don’t price gouge.

      Actual *grocery* inflation is bad enough, but we don’t need to sensationalize it with the headline „food inflation spiked 7.3% in January“, along with a photo of a grocery aisle, implying that’s what’s driving the stat. Read the details in the article and you find „StatCan said a jump of 12.3 per cent in the cost of restaurant meals year-over-year drove the acceleration in food inflation last month“… so it was restaurant meals, not groceries. Hmmm… And why did restaurant meals go up so much year-over-year? Turns out, they didn’t… but last January, there was a tax holiday, which isn’t there this year. So what really happened was last January, restaurant prices dropped for a month, then in February 2025, they popped back to where they were in December 2024, and that’s now showing in this year-over-year stat.
