Canadians Facing Food Crisis Due to Coalition Government Policies | Feb 19, 2025
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Ottawa, ON – Canadians are struggling with rising food costs and increased reliance on food banks due to the coalition government’s carbon tax policies and inflationary spending. Families are paying $800 more for groceries than last year, and food banks saw 2 million visits in a single month.
Communities like Mississauga, Hawkesbury, and St. John’s have declared food emergencies, with food banks overwhelmed and residents skipping meals. Canadians need relief, but the coalition government is continuing costly taxes and spending, driving prices higher.
Common Sense Conservatives will eliminate the carbon tax and restore fiscal responsibility to lower costs for families.
