Theres no reason the government cant run grocery stores
Even if they did, as soon as there is a conservative government again, they’ll privatize it and sell it off for pennies on the dollar to their friends.
Then pharmacare. Then dental care. Then all the rest of healthcare that our strangled system has left to the private market. Then the telecoms. Then public transit.
We need subsidized grocers. Theres no reason the government cant run grocery stores that keeps things as close to cost as possible.

Since when does the LPC need the Cons to privatize public services?
Historically it’s been the Cons that have privatized more government assets than any other party.
For sure, they did. Most of the big stuff was started, if not completed, by Conservative administrations.
But Chrétien and Martin continued the process. Air Canada, Petro-Can, and CN Rail were all initiated by Mulroney but completed by Liberal PMs.
My point is, I don’t see the LPC as reliable defenders of public services and I think it’s dangerous to view them as an ally in that context.
This point hits hard in the US right now.
Too true. Too many dumb dumbs who fall for the cons shit
That’s a slippery slope there. I mean, what’s next, nationalizing our energy production to make gas and utilities affordable?
Then pharmacare. Then dental care. Then all the rest of healthcare that our strangled system has left to the private market. Then the telecoms. Then public transit.
we can dream
Fuck yea.
Québec did it. Why can’t the rest?!
