Canadians are paying more than ever to put food on the table.

August 5, 2026

Grocery prices are up nearly 35% since 2019, with the average family now spending around $10,000 a year on groceries. Meanwhile, severely food-insecure households have doubled to over half a million, and food banks are seeing record demand.

This is the price we are paying for years of damaging policies.

Warren Steinley joins me on The Blueprint: Canada’s Conservative Podcast to discuss the challenges facing Canadian farmers, what’s driving up food costs, and why supporting producers is key to making life more affordable.

Even Housing Minister Gregor Robertson admitted there are no clear targets
