Food prices Canadians are still shopping for much needed relief it’s kind of hard as a student you know just going to the grocery store it’s like you have to have a good amount saved up just to get a couple groceries just for the week what we used to buy with $50 now it’s

7% in its latest quarter Metro made 222 million that’s up from almost 169 Million last year despite a five-week strike at stores in the greater Toronto area I think they should come down cuz I think think people are really struggling in the city people that are barely

Making ends meet Ottawa says it is not ruling out any measures to bring prices down including changing competition laws we are prepared to use every tool in our toolbox including tax policy to make sure that prices stabilize while it may not seem obvious food inflation is actually dropping down

From nearly 7% in August we are expecting a food inflation rate to be at around 5% which is exactly what what we predicted a year ago so things are really improving but Ottawa has little to do with it Grocers are pointing the finger at suppliers they say they’ve been told to expect higher

First time in our life and I think that’s uh that says it all in the inaugural season teams will be based in Toronto Montreal Ottawa Boston Minnesota and New York the pwhl says more than half of the players are now signed to contracts with more in the coming days

Having all the girls from the US from Europe coming in as a group it’s exciting the goal is to drop the puck in early January and if League officials are worried it doesn’t show this ambitious timeline has been something that uh has not scared us at all it’s something that we’re incredibly thrilled
