Restaurants Canada estimates show 41 per cent of food service businesses are operating at a loss or just breaking even and 41 per cent of Canadians say they reduced restaurant visits last year because of higher costs.

Canadians are more frugal with how much they spend on eating out, the report said, adding that the softer demand is hitting one of the industry's biggest money makers — alcohol.

While bigger businesses and chain restaurants might be able to weather the storm, smaller independently-owned restaurants might be the hardest hit, the report said.

Canadians need the green light for a new Pipeline to the Pacific, FAST.

This would generate $30 BILLION every year for Canada's economy.

Allowing Canadian energy to reach new global customers at a time when the U.S. can easily replace our oil with Venezuelan oil is essential for our country's economic survival.

But the Carney Liberals will never let that happen.

A new report to Parliament says young Canadians are facing such severe financial pressure that more than one‑quarter are skipping meals to get by, a sign of what Food Banks Canada calls a growing crisis in youth economic security.

The organization told the Commons human resources committee that 28% of young adults reported going without a meal because they lacked money, while 20% relied on free food from community groups — nearly double the rate seen in the general population.

And this is food for thought.

The main reason I left Canada is because it's a Venezuela wannabe country.

When cucknadians elect a maduro and invite commies in, expect America to kill all your leaders.

Canadians are worried about the future.
A clear majority say today's decisions will impact generations to come.

Canadians OVERWHELMINGLY believe that our elites don't care about ordinary people. Are you with the vast majority of Canadians on this?

Not jes Canada. States n' Europe too

Just a few of the richest countries like Norway, Switzerland, Singapore and some of the wealthiest Arab Gulf states may stave off a depreciation of their living standards next year.

Don't say I didn't warn ya!

Sugarplum, remember I explained to you after you performed oral sex on me this morning that comparing Canada's descent from one of the best countries in the world to a slowing global economy is an apples to oranges comparison.

As I have told you during our pillow talks, Canada has fallen from a top ten country to around thirty in ten short years. It has been by the governing Liberals design and not due to any temporary slowing of the global economy.

Do you understand the difference now between economic cycles and a planned decline Sweetie or do you need to get on your knees first?

Quote from: DKG on December 21, 2025, 09:51:28 AMThe federal Liberals' obsession comes from the WEF not from Canadian voters. It is at the root of our rapid decline.

That is your problem. I don't care if you cannot afford food. I was elected to make my company and it's American investors more money.

Quote from: Shen Li on December 20, 2025, 11:33:42 PMCanada has one of the highest food inflation rates in the OECD. It is deliberate too. That is why millions of your countrymen rely on food banks for their daily meals. That is why there are grocery stores selling potentially dangerous expired food.
