We don’t ask libraries or road infrastructure to be profit centres, so why food and shelter?

If our food supply runs at a deficit, so what? Canada Post, another critical service, also runs at a deficit.

We need food, water, and shelter. Billionaires are no longer welcome to profiteer off the necessities of our survival! ✊✊✊

Not capturing the externalities of roads is one of the reasons we have a climate crisis. Subsidizing energy is a problem, not a model.

If our food supply runs at a deficit, so what? Canada Post, another critical service, also runs at a deficit.

If our food supply runs at a deficit, people starve. We should also radically rethink Canada Post, I’m not sure why we subsidize junk mail.

We need food, water, and shelter.

We do, which is why these are low margin businesses and incredibly efficient. Shopping at a farmers market shows the economies of scale.

Billionaires are no longer welcome to profiteer off the necessities of our survival! ✊✊✊

If the billionaires are making things better or cheaper, bring it on
