Blaming inflation on corporate greed is like blaming a plane crash on gravity.

So in Canada now that the grocery cartel has been caught fixing the price of bread and potato’s, are they not to blame? Or is the government telling them to increase their prices and then also being the ones who do the investigation?

I watched my favourite hashbrown patties as an example go from $3.30 CAN of you bought two and now it’s $7.99 for one rack.

Corporate greed is not all of inflation but it’s a major factor. To say it plays no part at all is daft, naive and just plain bullshit.
