Got food at the local donut shop. Ate lunch and dinner from a food truck. The real way this could work is if everyone does this everyday and avoids non local chains.

While this is par for the course for me, I imagine lots of people across the states have had their local stores run out of town over the years, making this much harder. Other times, local stores are more expensive at a time when people really can’t be paying more.

Hopefully, it does help by getting people to consider local where they can. But I do think some people vastly overestimated this one day.

The poor get mud water called Tim Horton's, as their rents double and they are forced to fund our government buying 50% of all mortgage bonds to reward existing asset holders.

Maybe if we rout out the corruption we can achieve a higher standard of living and allow productivity investment, so Canadians can afford nice coffee from a mom and pop establishment whose rents are also ballooning.

It costs next to nothing to make coffee.

Where did they get their produce from? Probably Walmart.

Most of the long term people get theirs from sysco or some other commercial provider. I know one guy who goes to costco one town over to buy some of his. I know I'm not going to let a few people too lazy to try prevent me from doing what I can to limit these price gouging companies.
