    Food access is also provincial. Wasn’t one of the first things Carney was going to do after being elected to help the provinces dismantle their food trade barriers? What ever happened to that? He’s throwing money at the problem now instead of brokering a deal?

      Throwing money… infrastructure is absolutely an area government should be involved in. Improving distribution through more wholesale markets is a great idea IMO.

      We need more Canadian processing, hopefully geared to mid tier, its currently bifurcated - trash food on one side and sixteen dollar jams on the other. We need more options, and options that are available to more than just the largest players through an anemic supply chain.

      Greenhouses, we don’t like those? Ontario is a global leader, let’s keep it going I would love more Canadian produce in the heart of winter.
