Prices rise for fresh vegetables year over year Prices for food purchased from stores rose 4.4% on a yearly basis in March, after increasing 4.1% in February. On a year-over-year basis, prices for fresh vegetables increased 7.8% in March, the largest increase since August 2023 (+8.7%), after rising 0.5% in February. Cucumbers, peppers and celery all had notable price growth in March, due in part to tighter supplies related to adverse growing conditions in producing countries.

Ford government announces new plan to help them meet their ‘new homes built’ target.
Never forget. #cdnpoli
The knee-jerk instinct of Conservatives is to blame govt for everything. Even when the problem (in this case, shocking gas prices) clearly originates with corporate greed. My take for today’s Toronto Star: www.thestar.com/business/opi... #canlab #cdnecon #cdnpoli
“Ford is trying to take over chunks of Ontario by putting his appointed pals as regional chairs! It’s absolute lunacy! People need to stand up and see this for what it is: it’s move to a Kleptocracy and a threat to our democracy!”🚨

I'm not a big brained political strategist like Jamil Jivani, which is probably why I don't understand why he'd go on Breitbart's podcast and criticize Canadian attitudes towards the US

There are FIVE ways to accumulate a billion dollars:
1) Profiting from a monopoly
2) Insider-trading
3) Political payoffs
4) Fraud
5) Inheritance
Billionaires are the result of a failed system.
