See this picture? This comes from a town in Canada where a 24 pack of water bottles is 104 dollars and formula milk for a baby is priced at 55 dollars a pack. What’s more, a pack of diapers is 95 dollars and one head of lettuce is 26 dollars. Inuit people are starving in a country known for it’s generosity.
If you don’t believe this is true, you can find more images like this here. This is the only grocery store these people have in their small towns, and many people are going hungry & elderly are dying faster.
Love how little attention this post gets from my beach blog followers.
Signal boost.
wait why are these the prices in our north?
probably due to increased cost of shipping & gas prices to reach northernmost areas of canada, and possible damage to cargo shipments caused by really low temperatures
either way this is really tragic, i hate the dependence on money and how difficult it is to live comfortably with it, but ops dumbass manipulation tactics gross me out so i deleted them
this is really terrible and I’m not denying that, but the prices aren’t that high for shits and giggles. along with what buddy above me said, cargo is transported to a lot of those towns through ice roads that use to form for a long term period; trucks would drive across them to deliver the goods. increased temperatures the past couple years means the ice roads are not stable or melt away, and the cargo has to be transported by aircraft. this is obviously much more expensive, and means less can be transported before it’s simply unaffordable to all parties involved.
it is absolutely terrible that they are forced to live that way, but it doesn’t stem entirely from some sort of government corruption as some people seem to believe.
