Hey Canadian's

I was trying to understand why you pay so much for every day things especially groceries. Then I read about your government supply management program. Your own government causes most of the ridiculous pricing. Why do you put up with that 💩

@beermeplease it's a stretch from the original question. The replies are defensive rather then informative. Since the 70s the program has been screwing Canadians over

@Gibbon it's kind of reciprocated at this point...and at this point i really don't care...i will keep being canadian as you will be american but i will embrace canadian concerns as i will american concerns for those who aren't sugar coating things or putting bandages on things

@beermeplease we've always gotten along. I just learned of the program and it's age. It prompted me to question.

@beermeplease I will admit things have been maddening . But to my question until today I didn't understand the cause of Canada high prices. This has been going on long before our price increases.

@beermeplease big mac? No clue. Hospital? No cost to me.

@MasterLee you have good insurance then as you must be a high wage earner with a large company...but don't try to tell me the average american can tell me the same...here is the big mac result

not that you care as you will have a sushi lunch tomorrow at your board meeting.

Pricing is ridiculous across North America right now.

Gibbon · 70-79, M

@Sapio people responding about right now in the US don't get what I'm asking. This Canadian government program dates back to the 70s

Canadians don't really fight for much, do they?

They're more a cooperative sort, as I've noted.

beermeplease · M

@Magicianzini hence why trump is getting all pissy because we are negotiating with other countries in trade deals because your president fvcked one of its closest allies and trading partners....yeah...who isn't being cooperative? think about the bigger picture rather than your own border

Magicianzini · M

@beermeplease Are you ok bruh? You seem to be displaced with far too many assumptions while also never proving my statement as false.

Wait! Or perhaps just you responding/speaking up! - is the proof, yes??

Ok, congratulations - maybe Canada has 1.

Now where are the REST???

You're acting prices in the USA aren't insane at this point in time.

Gibbon · 70-79, M

@MethDozer this time doesn't matter by comparison your own government has been screwing you at the checkout counter since the 70s. The same program caused lack of competition in the grocery market. That crap is completely different then the past few years in the US.

MethDozer · M

@Gibbon I'm American my man

Gibbon · 70-79, M

@MethDozer well you popped the reply making me think otherwise
