🇨🇦 Beef up 13 percent, and Ottawa calls that food security

Fresh or frozen beef is up almost 13 percent in a year and 62.6 percent since 2021, yet the ruling class still lectures Canadians about affordability while building a country that cannot reliably feed itself. Even the industry admits cattle supply is at historical lows, herd rebuilding could take three years, and foreign buyers are happy to outbid Canadians for Canadian beef, as reported. Great system: produce premium food at home, price your own citizens out of it, then call it market efficiency.

And the federal fix is classic Ottawa theater: nibble around interprovincial barriers after years of centralizing everything else. Trudeau-era policy has been a masterclass in making energy, transport, processing, and basic food more expensive, then acting stunned when the grocery bill explodes. This is what post-national management looks like: weak domestic capacity, export-first logic, and bureaucrats pretending sovereignty is just a branding exercise. A serious country would protect its supply chain before preaching global integration to families staring at a steak they can no longer afford.
