Food Insecurity on the Rise in Calgary: A Call to Action

"Canada's Food Price Crisis: A Consequence of Fiscal Irresponsibility.

The rising cost of living in Canada has become a pressing concern, particularly when it comes to food prices. Unfortunately, the situation is worsening, with food prices increasing at a faster rate in Canada than in the United States. This disparity is primarily attributed to the Carney Liberals' questionable fiscal policies, which prioritize inflationary spending, high taxes, and an industrial carbon tax that disproportionately burdens citizens.

The consequences of these policies are far-reaching and devastating. In Calgary, for instance, nearly a third of residents struggle to afford basic necessities like food, and a staggering 25% of those using the Calgary Food Bank hold full-time jobs. This sobering reality underscores the failure of the current economic approach to provide sustainable growth and relief to those who need it most.

Furthermore, the Liberal government's reckless deficit spending has surpassed even the alarming levels of the Trudeau era. This fiscal recklessness will inevitably drive up the federal debt, leading to increased inflation and interest rates. The result? Canadians will see an even larger chunk of their hard-earned paycheques disappear.

It is imperative that the Liberals take immediate action to address this crisis. This can be achieved by cutting wasteful expenditures, halting reckless deficits, and implementing meaningful tax reductions. By doing so, Canadians will finally have a fair shot at affording the essentials, including food, without breaking the bank. The time to act is now."
