Isn’t there more than one choice of cheese in Canada?

 

[candycorn]

Just because it’s cheddar doesn’t mean it’s not some expensive marked up name brand cheese

We all know Canadian housewives are NOT paying $30 a pop for a generic brick of cheddar

We all know that in any regular supermarket in Canada (unless it’s like remote Northern Territory) ALSO has a shelf with some Kroger brand cheese at normal prices.

Why are we going through this little charade?

Are you really saying you believe that’s the average price of a brick of cheese in a working class suowrmarket in Winnipeg?

Well the OP also doesn’t come right out and say that it’s a 3 pound block of cheese he’s talking about.

I doubt most people are buying 3 pound blocks of cheese at a time. I don’t need to tell you that when it comes to misinformation, the right wing loons are the world’s leading distributors of BS they try to pass off as legitimate.

For example, I tried to get the guy to explain how the US has been duped and taken advantage of...he hasn’t responded at all; because he can’t show a relevant example.

Of course. A fraction of what we should really be able to purchase though. Similar to our baking, telecom, real estate supply etc.

 

[braalian]

The cheese in the OP is 1,350g. Your example is 400g. Did you notice that?

Yes, I noticed the OP disingenuously posted about a gigantic brick of cheese that no one buys unless they need a shit ton of cheese or are buying bulk as if it were the average brick size a Canadian house wife buys to make grilled cheese

Yes, I noticed that

The average price of an average brick of cheddar in most of Canada is similar to that as in most of the USA

We all know this

We all know the average Canadian is not plunking down $30 for a normal sized brick of generic cheddar

 

[shockedcanadian]

Ok, well, stop buying gigantic-ass bulk food bricks of cheese if you don’t want to pay $28

According to google a similar sized brick of cheddar costs about $25 in my area, and I live in a moderate cost of living small Midwest city in the USA

Are you buying massive bricks of cheese to cook for a large group or something?

I am not buying this cheese I saw it posted on social media from a broke Canadian. It has become a tradition for us to share our suffering as misery loves company.

I let Americans know what is happening to the northern police state. You guys keep licking boots while they use their proverbial boot against us all from cradle to the grave.

It's 1.35KG. It's right in the picture, you retard.

 

[braalian]

a 3 pound brick of cheddar is 25 bucks in your area? Holy shit.

I’m not in the habit of buying absurdly huge bricks of cheese. It would go bad before I could eat it.

But a name-brand brick of cheddar that size costs about $25

A similar sized, non-brand Costco brick might cost more like $15 or so I guess.

You know as well as I do that the OP cherry picked a pic of some huge brick of name brand cheddar and tried to pass it off as what the average Canadian is paying for an average brick of cheese

 

[Muhammed]

Its not an expensive cheese. Its considered an everyday type cheese. It isnt generic, but it isnt luxurious either.
What you posted is expensive. And its only around a dollar cheaper per pound than the brand in the OP.
I did a bunch of googling because I didnt believe it either.

You also have to consider that the US subsidizes US dairy farmers and Canada has a supply management system to keep prices up for their dairy farmers.

The big difference is that US system doesn't screw the consumer the way the Canadian system does.

That is 3 pounds **** face.

Broke people shouldn’t be buying $28 gigantic bricks of name-brand cheddar. Maybe that’s why they’re broke.

They should be buying the normal sized Meijer-brand (or whatever the supermarkets are up there) brick like every other human being on earth who lives in a normal budget

It’s right there on the shelves in Canadian supermarkets just like they are down here

You’re pretty miserable...I’ll give you that.

Wow...it’s amazing that the police state is letting you broadcast. Do you fear for your life???? LOL.

Multiply this one purchase, as distasteful, unusual and/or disagreeable to you (there was a time when buying in bulk or larger size meant something, didnt it?) by 100s of items and comparisons.

Car or house insurance, housing/rent costs, milk, coffee, eggs, bread, yogurt, toilet paper, gas prices, water, heating, property taxes, sales tax, provincial taxes, federal taxes, GDP per capita (we are 40% less).

We make less and spend more.

There is a reason why Canadian CITIZENS have 103% of the entire Canadian GDP as personal debt. It is 73% in America.

The citizens here are being saddled with the debt while government smiles at your misfortune while the Creepy Ones keep you in your caste at an early age so that their dumb kids can have careers.

From the TPS on up, you better understand what is really going on.

I think the OP is going to be disappeared by the Canadian Stasi for leaking Canadian cheese prices outside the iron curtain

 

[shockedcanadian]

I fear for my future. They already stole my past.

I KNOW what I am dealing with, while Americans seem to be in denial about us. Read about the Stasi or Moscow operations against citizens in the 70s and 80s.

This is a cheesy thread.

Yes, I’m sure the average Canadian does pay more for groceries than the average American.

It’s a much smaller market and Canadian agriculture isn’t subsidized to the extent it is in the USA.

Groceries are cheaper in the USA than in any other developed country for this reason.

But it’s not on the weird, paranoid scale you’re constantly claiming.

You deliberately and misleadingly tried to pass off a huge 3lb $28 brick of cheese as what the average consumer in Canada is paying when they go shopping.

Exactly, and yet you still made this retarded comment:

The average Canadian housewife isn’t routinely buying 3lb bricks of cheese any more than American housewives and you know it

He tried to mislead and you know it

We are paying more because the government blocks competition. What do you think Trump has been trying to change with the relationship with Canada?

Competition equates to lower costs for consumers. In theory, Canadian companies should profit from higher volume, right?

As long as the U.S or U.K option meets the basic standards or requirements, they should be allowed to compete for market. Then we can pay perhaps $18 or even $20 for the same brick.

You poor thing....

Thanks for proving that right wing victimization paranoia isn’t just a US disease.
