They voted against letting Canadians actually see how prices are set.
That's... a choice.
Because if grocery prices are the crisis they say they are... why block transparency?
And it raises a bigger question

Because it's not the people paying $8 for butter. It's not families stretching every dollar.

This is exactly where journalism like CBC's matters... because without scrutiny, decisions like this get buried under talking points instead of examined for what they are.

Who does this actually protect?
Should Canadians have the right to see how grocery prices are set?
And what kind of accountability do you expect from leaders on cost-of-living issues?
