Canadians were lulled into complacency and apathy over the last decade of Liberal governance.
Today, around 14 million people are insolvent, echoing the Great Depression. Millions rely on food banks. Outsiders view Canada as a heavily socialist country—a failing state that resorts to printing money as a buffer against catastrophe.
Productivity has plummeted. Crime is skyrocketing. Nova Scotia is now the poorest jurisdiction in North America, ranking below Mississippi.
Now there's a push, led by the progressive left, for state-run grocery stores to help those suffering from hunger.
This isn’t just a policy debate—it's a troubling foreshadow of economic collapse.
History demonstrates that when governments take control of the food supply, shortages, empty shelves, and long lines of starving citizens often follow.
This is not fear-mongering; it’s backed by hard evidence from countries that have experimented with socialism and communism.
The Carney NDP-Liberals can hardly tie their own shoes, let alone manage the complexity of mass food distribution—if and when the idea is implemented.
A move toward state-run grocery stores and universal basic income signals a shift toward the abyss, where consumer choice and supply chain efficiency give way to bureaucratic stagnation and economic failure.
Comparing government-controlled grocery stores to communism is not hyperbole. Both systems eliminate private enterprise, reduce competition, and concentrate power in the hands of the state.
The result? Empty shelves and queues for basic necessities, with citizens waiting for government rationing that often never arrives.
History demonstrates that such central planning leads to shortages, hampering access to food and essentials. Canada’s possible adoption of this model risks mirroring these failures, undermining freedom and prosperity.
Socialism’s promise of equality often masks reality—breadlines, scarcity, and stagnation. When government controls every aspect of daily life, it inevitably stifles innovation and efficiency, creating supply-and-demand crises that harm the very people it claims to protect.
Many vocal supporters of these policies are iPhone-carrying, SUV-driving mall shoppers—luxury consumers disconnected from the hardships of their own ideology.
