Just The Facts: Less for More

Ottawa, ON – Today, new data from Statistics Canada confirms that the Liberal hunger crisis is getting worse, not better, despite Mark Carney’s call for Canadians to judge him by the prices at the grocery store. As Canadian families are projected to pay nearly  $1,000 more in food costs this year, the average prices for January 2026 show the headache Canadians face every time they run errands.

As compared to January 2025, beef rib cuts are up by a whopping 36 per cent. Other meats are not safe from Liberal inflation either, as whole chicken and pork ribs are respectively up by 31 and 20 per cent. It’s also difficult to get on with life in this economy as roasted and ground coffee prices have jumped by 34 per cent. The picture is not much better for vegetables like celery and frozen spinach, whose prices have increased by 25 and 23 per cent in turn.

And compared to when Mark Carney took office in March 2025, the cost of cucumbers, grapes, celery and tomatoes are all up by 20 per cent or more.

This is a made-in-Canada problem, with 70% of all food produced domestically, including 80% of processed foods. We should never have become the food inflation capital of the G7. That’s why it’s time for made-in-Canada Conservative solutions that will boost competition and lower taxes to reduce food prices from the grocery aisle to the restaurant check.
