As frustrations for Canadians grow along with grocery store bills, some say Canadians are ready to think outside the big box store when heading out for groceries.

    I really hope this is the start of a massive increase in pressure on the rich, government and those who rip us off on the daily. We’re notoriously bad at voting with our wallets and protesting but practice makes perfect.

    It’s very obvious those in power and those with wealth have had a super easy and uncontested time (much of that they engineered for themselves and we let it happen) so when faced with pushback, they feel very uncomfortable.

    Let’s keep it up and shed our nice nature. We need to make a stink at every turn. Culture wars and social issues are absolutely important but this is about our money and our daily lives, we have to learn how to get serious about this before even more is taken away.

    Anything to do with controlling the internet I fear is the start of real censorship. A new “occupy wall/Bay Street” that actually has teeth this time is a legit threat.

      I immigrated from Vancouver to London, and people here in the UK just don’t get how much more expensive it is back home. Like even with the exchange rate the cost of ~2L of milk is nearly ⅓. And that’s just milk, it’s basically the same the whole way across the board.

    It’s why, she said, they’re able to offer items like organic strawberries for $0.97 a pound.

    I haven’t found prices to be lower in any small shop or co-op that I’ve used, but I would donate a kidney to get organic strawberries that cheap!
