      That would bea very bad thing to say, you see. You know how, dispite “supply chain issues,” grocery stores have been pulling record profits recently?

      Anecdote incoming:

      My local grocery store is marking down eggs -30% and (presumably) throwing ones out that don’t sell. Nobody is buying $7 cartons, they’re just taking it off their grocery lists and finding substitutes

        i disagree. CBC is essential. real news programming is - by design - an expenditure, not a profit. the CBC is under constant scrutiny, and it conducts itself as such. i don’t see how the CBC is “Commie”, as you say.

          I’m joking. I thought you’re joking when you said it’s gov’t propaganda so I continued in the same vein. :D

          I’m an absolute supporter or “a friend of CBC” and I’m doing everything I can to stop Poilievre from killing it. We desperately need a Canadian gov’t funded news media in the current media climate.

    Hope they use some serious chemicals cause I once made stamps with potato and I swear there was more ink inside then on the outside of the patato. Would like to see those decorated potatoes once they start growing roots.

    The nantional average for egg prices peaked in late February at $8.17 a dozen, current prices are $3.12 a dozen. A dozen eggs in LA are currently $6.30 which is high but they banned the sale of caged chicken eggs so the disparity is understandable.

    Isn’t this stupid? No one paints actual eggs anymore anyway.

    I don’t have to even open the article to know it’s going to have political opinions all over. I’m sure it will mention Trump negatively, directly or indirectly blaming him somewhere.

    Ok, i just skimmed it, and it’s a Canadian source/author, so immediately political and comparisons being made.

    This article uses the supposed story of “people are painting potatoes(and other things) because eggs are expensive.” OK, cheap/creative people have been doing that forever. You hide plastic eggs cuz you put candy inside. You don’t hide real cooked/uncooked eggs. Or potatoes or marshmallows.

    The story this article is selling reads between the lines. The articles headlines are deceiving as such. It’s trying to sell you something, and you’re probably buying it.
