In the meantime, in Edmonton we have a nutritious food buying club through the Wecan Food Basket Society. Many years ago in Brandon, Manitoba, we ran a little food coop store. We can build alternatives, without waiting for government.
We can electrify without waiting for government also..........and a few are starting to realize that, but no enough of us understand how big the climate emergency is becoming as we struggle with daily affordability....and are told military buildup is what we need to be secure.
For sure it would be a good idea.......but could a publicly owned grocery store avail itself of the same supply chains the big monopolies use??? And wouldn't it evoke the dreaded 'socialism' that so many progressive folk work hard to distance themselves from???
We should know by now, that anything other than deregulated capitalism, where the 'free market' decides what 'enslaved people' get to have.......is evil. Many have drunk that koolaid, and as yet, I fear there is no easy antidote.
