Were we not told repeatedly that #food #inflation was for sure, absolutely, I swear by this $40 lettuce, caused by the #carbontax and only the #carbontax, so help me god! So, as gas prices slide 16%, food prices should go down in lock step, right? Ah, turns out no.

Does it always have to be Groundhog Day? It feels like nothing has been learned from the policy mistakes of the 90s. We just keep swirling in the same #austerity vortex. #education #Newfoundland
