Why are Canadians paying more at the grocery store? Shane Hewitt talks with Dr. Sylvain Charlebois, known as The Food Professor, about the rising cost of food and the role the carbon tax plays in driving prices higher. They compare Canada’s volatile food inflation to the more stable U.S. market, explore how tariffs shape what consumers pay, and look at the broader economic pressures affecting the entire food supply chain. The conversation offers insight into why food inflation feels different in Canada—and what may be coming next.
