Up untill a week ago Nofrills carried these “three packs” of salmon for $10. Now the same pack contains two for the same $10. I thought it felt light when I bought it yesterday.

This comes to about $0.02 increase per gram, and a $1.10 price increase overall. Or a 11% increase in price overall. Meanwhile inflation is at 6-7%?

      Well shit, if that’s the point you were trying to make – as opposed to regurgitating the tankie talking point dishonestly trying to imply that US government spending supporting Ukraine is causing inflation, which is obviously what everybody’s downvoting you for – you should’ve just come out and said it to begin with.

      The idea that food prices are rising and it’s Russia’s fault for disrupting supply is a much more reasonable assertion than the way you were spinning it before.
