## Resource

Québec solidaire is kicking off a major national campaign this weekend to tackle skyrocketing grocery prices, which have jumped 27% since 2021, forcing families to spend nearly $16,800 annually on food. Spokesperson Ruba Ghazal is pushing for bold solutions — including profit caps on big chains, ending unfair business practices, and launching public grocery stores — framing this as the start of a sustained political effort. Backed by a TD Economics report showing a 30% price surge since 2019 across Canada, the party is making a loud, urgent statement: real solutions exist, and they’re ready to act.
