Canada used to be a country where you could buy groceries without needing a financial advisor and a small loan. Then the Liberals showed up, promised affordability, and somehow managed to turn basic food shopping into a luxury sport.
Congratulations, I guess.
Everywhere I go, I hear the same thing: families cutting back on meat, stretching leftovers, hitting the discount aisles like it’s a competitive event. Meanwhile Ottawa’s over there hosting panels, issuing reports, and giving speeches about “working for Canadians.”
Working for Canadians? Right. Like a fox works for a henhouse.
Let’s take a look at the scoreboard.
Food inflation? Up.
Household stress? Up.
Grocery bills? Way up.
Accountability? Down. Beneath the floorboards. Possibly buried in concrete.
Statistics Canada just reported another bump in grocery prices, and the Dalhousie food price forecast says we’re staring down increases again this year. Families are bleeding money at the checkout while a government that has never met a buzzword it didn’t love keeps insisting everything’s “stabilizing.”
Sure. And I’m a six-foot bald eagle with a side gig at WestJet.
Meanwhile, meat prices have become a joke — and not a funny one. Canadians aren’t “choosing healthier plant-based diets.” They’re choosing whatever they can afford after paying rent, taxes, fees, surtaxes, carbon pricing, and whatever else Ottawa dreams up over breakfast.
Speaking of breakfast, that’s getting expensive too. But hey, at least the Liberals can brag:
They’ve successfully made toast into a luxury item.
And now we have MPs in Parliament asking the obvious question: Where’s the beef?
Not in Canadian kitchens, that’s for sure.
But Liberal policy? Oh, that’s where you’ll find the bun. A giant fluffy bun of announcements, branding, slogans, consultations, task forces, committees, committees to study task forces, and press conferences congratulating themselves on achieving nothing measurable.
Big bun.
No beef.
The Liberal cookbook.
Instead of fixing the real-world costs crushing families, they offer speeches about “investing in the future.” The future? Most Canadians are worried about today. They’re trying to buy groceries without needing to skip a bill.
This government should feel ashamed. Deeply ashamed. But shame requires self-awareness, and that went out the window around the same time food prices started to climb and the excuses started multiplying.
We deserve a government that understands basic economics — or at the very least, understands that citizens need to eat without donating a kidney at the register.
Until then, get used to the Liberal menu:
Fluff on fluff, wrapped in buzzwords, served without a trace of substance.
As for the beef?
You’re on your own.
