国民不满联邦政府买菜补贴:糊弄人

The tactics in #FederalBudget2023 are a joke. A means tested grocery rebate? Fighting Junk Fees? Universal USB chargers? These are bandaid solutions to hot topics. We need major reforms to housing, the largest cost for the majority of Canadians.

Do not ever thank a government who offers a one time grocery rebate instead of addressing the systemic issues and monopolies that are causing high grocery prices. A one time payment does NOTHING but feed our families once. How stupid do they think we are?

Sorry isn't this just a gift to the price gouging mega-grocers and an insignificant help to those who are hungry?
Freeland's budget to include grocery rebate for lower income Canadians, here's what else to expect Tuesday https://t.co/3cmd0tYHoe

So low-income people are getting a 'grocery rebate' that is just going to be used to buy groceries at the already money hungry grocers???

Yeah, I don't know why I expected the government to make any good decisions.

Why not ...address the actual issues?!

Jagmeet:
"We've been fighting for a grocery store rebate."

Shouldn't you be fighting for BIGGER things than just a one time grocery store rebate?

We should be eliminating poverty with an income floor which we can easily afford.#cdnpoli

For 11 million Canadians and Canadian families, a new Grocery Rebate will help make up for higher prices at the checkout counter—without adding fuel to the fire of inflation.

Grocery rebate: This is what happens when you politicize food inflation. Cheques are real while impactful fiscal changes are not. Grocery rebate is a cute name for amplified GST credits.

'Grocery rebate' is intentional political word-play, in an attempt to try and avoid the harmful optics towards the use of 'food stamps'.

Canada is now on the verge of food stamps which these tax rebates really are, how are they going to fund mortgage insolvencies?
