Dear Demetrios:

The cost of living, even eating is expensive. This morning at Terra Losa Safeway, I found a package of smokies that used to go for $3.99 for an 8-pack. Today, there are only 6 in a pack of the same brand & just two years after I checked the price on this particular brand they are now $9.79. That is what 150%+ increase. This is why I don't understand why the Federal Liberals are going up in the polls. Food inflation has led to this affordability crisis what with all their chaotic spending & endless deficits & this is outside of any costs related to the pandemic. The cloth bags people have been a problem, I see many folks using them for garbage bags & as they are partly plastic still, they don't actually work to make climate change a reality.

Pierre Berton,

Rory
