Interest, debt, and inflation – who’s winning?
We often think of inflation as bad for everyone, but that’s wrong. Someone is getting and keeping all those extra dollars everyone is paying. Inflation is conflict: business vs business, industry vs industry, workers vs profits. Its a battle to see who gets all those inflation dollars. We saw this play out in the food supply chain last year as Frito-lay fought with Loblaws over who would capture inflation dollars. The Bank of Canada believes higher interest rates are the solution to inflation. In fact, higher interest rates are actually increasing inflation. Homeowners, businesses and farmers are being sideswiped by interest costs.

Food Not Bombs serving
When a billion people go hungry each day, how can we spend another dollar on war? Food Not Bombs is an all-volunteer movement that recovers food that would otherwise be discarded, and shares free vegan and vegetarian meals with the hungry in over 1,000 cities in 65 countries in protest to war, poverty, and destruction of the environment. We are not a charity but dedicated to taking nonviolent direct action. Our movement has no headquarters or positions of leadership and we use the process of consensus to make decisions. We also provide food and supplies to the survivors of natural disasters, and people participating in occupations, strikes, marches and other protests.
Join us, Food Not Bombs Saskatoon, and our friends, Riversdale community association, for an afternoon of good food and good conversation. ...
