Cant say I'm surprised that the cost of everything is going up.
However I wont complain, I'll just bend over and continue to be buttfucked like everyone else..
Thats exactly what I mean !!!!!!!!
Look at the bike lane threads, how many people were bitching at it including myself. The thread exist for so long and all we do were bitch and complain
Then you look at the Brazil critical mass thread, how many people were happy about those cyclists getting nailed
we are keyboards warriors behind the computer, fuck the government, fuck this and fuck that yet we are the one getting fucked
We need solutions, this shit is going to keep happening for years to come, even our childrens children will be made to pay high prices for substandard food with no alternatives.
Since B.C. residents will never fully support our local farmers, there growth and profit margins will always be limited, hence their prices will still be expensive.
This is why I propose that we here at RevScene start a "fight club" of sorts to organize our resources and cultivate all year round growing plants and fruit tress in residential front/backyards to supplement our food.
The crops grown would be split between the house owner and the club. The members that put in more work and or resources into the setup of gardens would in return then get more of the percentage of harvested food.
Food is already Way too cheap considering the quality of food was much higher before they started feeding corn to everything.

I'm actually going to be starting a garden in my front yard.
Fingers crossed that the neighbours are going to be cool with it.
I'm aiming so that there will be a ready supply of herbs. No more wasteful little packages for me!
But overall, if it takes off, I wouldn't mind people pitching in and turning it into a community garden or something

Can work in principle, but the percentage is subjective. It's like Soviet communism, there will be people who feel they deserve more and take it, leaving less for others.
Nothing much we can do. But at least we still have a lot of Chinese markets like Crystal mall that tend to keep their price relatively lower than big chains Posted via RS Mobile
Just coz lots of rich chinese people moving here doesnt mean EVERYONE can afford all the crazy prices... i think we gotta kick out these rich people.. then maybe the prices will go back down...
we will see a lot more homeless people in the coming years!
so why are people are complaining about foreign investors coming into canada when canadias companies milking us of money?!?! isnt that crazy
Sometimes we tend to be in despair when the person we love leaves us, but the truth is, it's not our loss, but theirs, for they left the only person who couldn't give up on them.
Make the effort and take the risk..

It all started with prices of eggs and milk going up about a month or two ago. Before that, it was the increase in wheat prices (Canola for ethanol becoming popular). That translated into higher bread prices, etc. I'm starting a garden this year in the back yard. My neighbourhood is already full of gardens. I'm probably the only one left not growing my own food. People find ways to survive. At least this way, I know what's in my food. With greenhouse and raised garden beds, the yeild per acre is pretty good. Plus, you're growing enough for your own consumption. Freeze what you grow. Hopefully fishing will be good again this year. Perhaps game hunting. Friends who are into that are always bugging me to tag along. Probably end up shooting my own foot, but..........
EDIT: the only thing I've seen drop in price recently is bananas. LOL, it's summer below the equator.
People used to laugh at me for having multiple freezers........ looking smarter all the time. Buy when on sale and rotate stock. That's how I put three kids through school with one income and live in a brand new house in North Burnaby. All without having to sell drugs, LOL.
