It doesn't explain how increasing taxes on every level of the food supply chain and on everything else that I mentioned above HAS NO EFFECT on food pricing, as you claim. I don't really expect an answer from you after watching you insist for days and pages & pages & pages that the only thing making Canadian youth unhappy is.......social media.

Climate change/weather events, disrupted supply chains, high energy costs and wars are driving reasons for food inflation...globally. Yes, youth across the globe as less happy than they were years ago, and social media is playing a big role in that.

And it will continue to rise every year. This will amplify cost pressures across every link in the food supply chain. What no one seems to want to admit is that the businesses and truckers etc that are affected by the industrial carbon tax, while they add to the cost of things, also get to write off all of it on their income taxes as a business expense.

It's hard to blame Trudeau when the same food affordability issues are being felt in every developed country, isn't it... "During the Harper years (2006–2015), food prices saw volatility due to the 2008 global financial crisis and 2014 droughts. Key issues included rising meat prices, increased food concentration (three companies controlling 60% of sales), and high food costs in Northern communities despite subsidies. Overall, food prices trended upward during this period" Quote You are entitled to your opinion, but you are not entitled to tell me what mine should be.
CdnFox Posted April 1 Report Posted April 1 1 hour ago, ExFlyer said: No one ever claimed that we can or will ever fully offset reduced trade with the US. Nor it will be sufficient. What is being done is that our trade has to be diversified. Prior to Trudeau we were diversifying our trade, the liberals were the ones that put a stop to that. But regardless, we cannot diversify our trade enough to make any substantial difference. At least not within the next 10 to 20 years. The united states represents such a huge part of our trade that anything else is a drop in the bucket. Which doesn't mean we shouldn't continue to do diversification just as harper originally intended. But it's not going to get us out of this fix, we need to find a way to deal with the states Quote What is being said and is a fact is that our trade and partnership with the US will never be the same as before and we need to look elsewhere, and that is what is being done. It may never be the same but we will never solve that problem with external trade anytime in the next 20 years. We might be able to substantially offset it by improving our own internal trade. We buy a lot of things we could make here, and barriers between provinces make it difficult for us to sell to each other Carney was all about that during the election but then completely caved on it afterwards and it's done nothing. Solving into provincial trade would require a lot of leadership and strong incentives and he's just not capable of either The trip he's making around the world are not to replace American Trade, they're to promote his own brand name.

eyeball Posted April 1 Report Posted April 1 1 hour ago, Goddess said: It doesn't explain how increasing taxes on every level of the food supply chain and on everything else that I mentioned above HAS NO EFFECT on food pricing, as you claim. It doesn't have to because the industrial carbon tax isn't applied to every step in the food chain. Only the largest emitters pay, the the cost is not passed on because the tax is output based. If it does effect farmers on the ground exemptions apply so there's likewise next to nothing for farmers to pass on. The tax is deliberately designed to have as small an impact as possible on food prices to end consumers, not create the Ponzi-like multiplier effect you're claiming it will have. The tax will add approximately 0.1% to the cost of food this year and 0.08% by 2030. But it'll be multiples more than the cost the Bottleneck of Hormuz is adding to everything to hear you people put it.
