Also right after he said because of the Liberals ban on single used plastics, food somehow goes bad quicker??! how tf does that happen? and it's costing us over a billion dollars! hahahahaha

maybe think before you defend the piece of kyit next time. Not sure how any decent person can vote for such a deplorable piece of human waste.

Meat and potatoes is a very common standard dinner and common phrasing so much so that it's an adjective.

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dic...t-and-potatoes

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dict...t-and-potatoes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._potato_dishes

It's a callout to not being able to enjoy the basics and what used to be considered a fairly inexpensive meal.

You can read the whole press release, but I warn you, there are no solutions in it and he points out it's Carney's fault coffee beans are expensive. I guess maybe he could remove the Carney Coffee Consumption Charge. Down with C4.

Conservatives have seats, they can propose legislation that'll fix it if they think they can.

Or it's just another 'reee liberal taxes' statement with no actual point or substance to it

“It’s time to end the hidden Liberal taxes on food so Canadians can bring home nutritious, affordable food and have meat and potatoes every night on the dinner table again.”
Do they really think that the food cost increases are due to HIDDEN TAXES?

What the #### kind of conspiracy ass bull#### is this? ####ing hell.

Nothing but ridiculous complaining. No potential solutions brought forth.

I've heard of the term. Maybe in the 1980s..... lol Talk about being out of touch.

Now couple that with his screechy whining voice..... you'd want to yak your meat and potatoes.

If anyone actually wants to see what factors they see affecting food prices this year, and what might affect them next year, the report is here, and if you just scroll down a bit on the linked page(not report)they have the factors listed under "The following key factors significantly affected food prices in Canada this year:"
