I cringe quite often when I hear things like “Why doesn’t the government do something about <insert grievance here> ?”, and especially blaming the government for consumer prices. Trudeau did meet with CEOs of major food outlets to discuss the rising costs, but all a PM can do is ask for their help to fix the issue. They basically humored him and said “We’ll get back to you.” If the government could tell them what prices they must charge, that would be a dictatorship. Most people (especially conservatives) don’t realize: The more controls we demand from the government, the more personal liberties we lose. These same people will also complain when government control they asked for, impedes them in some way. Even Poilievre, at the top of the conservative hierarchy, doesn’t get it…or maybe he does, and wants to become a dictator.
