Starving in Abundance: How Canada’s Food Crisis Was Engineered

Canada is starving—not for land, not for water, and certainly not for resources.

We’re surrounded by oceans. Drenched in fresh water. Blessed with some of the most fertile farmland on the planet. And yet, somehow, the average Canadian can barely afford a loaf of bread or a bag of apples without flinching at the price tag.

What gives?

It’s not a supply issue. It’s not a distance issue. And it’s not about Mother Nature turning her back on us. No, the answer is far simpler—and far darker.

This crisis is man-made.
Specifically—government-made.

A Land of Plenty, Priced Like Scarcity

Canada boasts over 160 million acres of farmland. We’re neighbors with the largest agricultural exporter in the world. Shipping routes and food distribution networks crisscross our landscape. There is absolutely no justifiable reason that the average Canadian family should be spending upwards of 20% of their monthly income on food.

And yet… here we are.

Groceries in Vancouver and Toronto now feel like luxury goods. A carton of eggs costs more than a bottle of wine used to. Meat? Forget about it. And fresh produce is quickly becoming a badge of middle-class status.

So what’s driving the insanity?

Bad Policy, Worse Intentions

The rot starts at the top. From carbon taxes slapped on farmers, to land use restrictions that prioritize vanity climate goals over feeding citizens, it’s been one bad decision after another.

Regulations designed by pencil-pushing bureaucrats—who’ve never dug a trench or planted a crop—have effectively strangled the country’s agricultural output. Fertilizer restrictions. Fuel limitations. Over-regulation of water use. It’s all dressed up in green language, but the result is the same: higher costs, reduced yields, and broken supply chains.

Add to that endless red tape for small farms, inflated transportation costs, and trade policies that make importing a tomato from Mexico cheaper than growing one in Ontario, and what you get is a deliberate deconstruction of national food security.

This Isn’t Incompetence. It’s Control.

Let’s stop pretending this is just the result of a few “misguided” decisions.

When a government with access to vast natural resources creates an artificial scarcity of the most basic human need—food—that’s not failure. That’s strategy.

Inflated food prices don’t just hurt—they control. When people are scrambling just to put dinner on the table, they’re less likely to protest, question, or organize.

Hungry people are desperate people. And desperate people are easy to manipulate.

How Did We Let It Get This Far?

Maybe it crept in slowly. A few cents more here, a new tax there. A little policy tweak, an “eco-friendly” regulation. They told us it was necessary. That it was the cost of sustainability. That we’d be saving the planet.

But all we saved was government face, while they plunged Canadians into economic malnutrition.

And now, the same officials responsible for this mess stand behind podiums, pretending to care, while average citizens make choices between groceries and gas, between baby formula and rent.

The Real Cost of Canadian Food

This isn’t just about economics. It’s about sovereignty. Freedom. Dignity.

Because when a country as resource-rich as Canada can’t feed its own people affordably, something has gone deeply wrong. And the people responsible aren’t hiding—they’re in plain sight.

So the next time you’re at the checkout, watching triple-digit totals roll in for a week’s worth of food, remember:

It’s not the land.
It’s not the weather.
It’s not the farmers.

It’s the government.

And they’re the ones who made it this way.
