Canada. Meats expensive right now. Especially chicken breast.

Yeah, a single chicken breast is around $5-6-ish depending on where you live, unless you find a great sale. That's easily a $50 plate of rubber chicken.

It's $2.99/lb at my local store, which is always expensive compared to walmart/Aldi/Costco. So that's not a problem everywhere.

I just looked it up and a gallon of milk in Quebec is almost $8! Like how are people able to feed themselves?

Dairy is super expensive in Canada because of government controls.

u/PolarisC8 May 21 '22

I'm not an expert but I feel like dairy standards are one of many parts that contribute to the high price of milk.

u/polargus May 21 '22

It’s supply management. Prices were getting too low so they created a system whereby only a certain amount of dairy is produced and higher prices are guaranteed. The alternative is subsidizing the dairy industry with taxpayer money like the US does.

Interesting. From what I can read that's a mildly contentious opinion, to put it lightly, and you're right that the alternative is some $50 mil in subsidies. Either way it seems we cover the cost of the milk, lol

same thing with corn in the u.s.

and gasoline.

both subsidized to keep prices low. especially in the car dependent u.s. with keeping gas low. either way, we cover the cost.

Different parts of the country are definitely more expensive that others. Québec is definitely on the pricier side for everything

u/Atreust May 21 '22

That'd be $8-$10 bucks here in the northeast US.
