Just as expected, any little tax break that was handed down by government, was eaten up buy corporate greed. went to Mary Browns today and a 4 piece meal was 23bucks after tax. ordering the combo with a pop after tax was 19 and change

Don’t forget the Feds protect chicken farmers profits by setting farm prices for chickens, it’s not a free market. Consumers pay a substantial subsidy for Chicken.
As my BIL the Chivken Fsrmer says “when the price of Escalades rise, the chicken board raises prices on Chickens.”
Actually the feds protect us by using a marketing board to ensure farmers can make money . Otherwise when the market cycles nobody grows chickens . Watch pork prices .
Labour prices , heating , insurance, rent are all up , the chicken is probably the smaller component.
I think I posted within the other thread where people on Reddit (I know I know) were reporting that prices went up when the GST/HST vacation started with some links.
It's no different then when gov't programs came out for HVAC credits of X k. All prices went up X k.
EV tax credit was 14k previously...did anyone think that the manufacturers wouldn't raise their prices to make additional money?
Why would you not ? It’s free market , don’t want to pay restaurant prices ? Don’t go . I’m on the road three / four days a week . I’ll stop at a grocery store and get enough to make a sandwich , it’s ten bucks or less .

It's no different as to 'why do people pay these markups for new/used cars'....well because people keep paying it! Speaking of cars, off to look at a Maverick tonight!

So they should be forced to be poor and live in poverty like the country south of us. Look at what has happened in the USA to farmers now being owned by big corporations and basically living in slavery. The corporations now own their farms and supply the product they only get paid well under minimum wage. Is that really better.
I’m the first in my family to not be a farmer , nobody drives rusty tractors either , we all look after our equipment.
Would you prefer your milk comes from a farm with regular inspections and functional coolers or some half wit and a rusty Ford that stores the milk in the shed that’s in the shade ?

The feds don't protect us or the food supply with supply management, the free market does a better job.
Supply management protects rich farmers by creating a barrier to competition and by guaranteeing profits, and politicians won't tackle them as there are too many votes at stake in the Farm Lobby.
Chicken prices in Canada are at minimum 25% above what they would be in a competitive market. Guaranteed profit to farmers removes the incentive to invest in efficiency, and cost-prohibitive quotas keep new or innovative competitors from entering the market.
We've dumped supply controls on gas, oil, grain, beef, pork, fruits, veggies -- everything but Milk, Cheese and Turkeys. Sad thing is milk and chicken products are core to low income diets -- poor people suffer a lot so Chicken Ranchers can drive Cadillacs.

It's not that way. We have pig, beef, fish, grain, fruit farms, vineyards, and all sorts of specialty farms that operate profitably without consumer subsidies - so does the USA.
What's wrong with corporate farms? We didn't save local shoemakers, seamstresses & tailors, milkmen, self-serve gas jockeys from the march of technology -- why the special treatment for Dairy, Chicken and Turkey farmers?

Much of the corporate overlord stupidity was allowed to infect farms by action like Monsanto suing farmers into submission because the roundup ready crops blew across the road to a farmer that didn't pay. Courts should have killed all of those actions and instead they supported them fully. I think many of the avian farms in the US don't own the birds. They are paid babysitters. I have no idea how that affects their ability to profit from their skills and space. It's probably not good for the farmers. Oligopolies are are not good for consumers. Right now we have a functional monopoly in some sectors which is even worse than oligopolies. I'd be fine with some limits to keep diversity (maybe no company can control more than 1% of the birds or cows?). Corporate overlord has a piece but most of the supply comes from much smaller (but could still be huge) suppliers.
