00:03:39.960The food bank will give you approximately two days worth of food.
00:03:44.140Then there's the wait users can only visit once a week.
00:03:48.880You definitely still have to spend quite a bit of money at the grocery store every week.
00:03:52.620What are you thinking about the prices you see?
00:03:54.280I think it's getting harder and harder to manage on a fixed income, and it's not sustainable.
00:03:58.940The jobs are up. The economy is up. We're moving forward.
00:04:02.200Food prices really affected us throughout the challenge.
00:04:05.220Every time something would go up, it would just feel terrible.
00:04:08.740Nothing fancy, just cheap ingredients stretched as far as they'll go.
00:04:13.600uh i'm doing just fine uh here's the most disgusting part about all this at a time when
00:04:20.120over two million canadians are reportedly relying on food banks just to survive when food insecurity
00:04:26.320is at an all-time high in this country the carny government is purposely blocking the import of
00:04:31.620american produce let's hope we can resolve that um and one of this issue i'd like to discuss with
00:04:36.420is the canadian prohibition on bulk imports of fresh fruit and produce my district is the 19th
00:04:42.840largest fruit producing district in the nation and the 21st largest vegetable producing district
00:04:47.320in the nation. Once again, as detailed in the NTE, Canada severely restricts imports of bulk fresh
00:04:53.540fruits and vegetables. Have you and your team raised this issue with our Canadian counterparts
00:04:58.140and where are they with this issue as well? We have. We thought this would be an easy one for
00:05:02.480them to fix. They've refused to fix it. It's in the national trade estimate. It has been for a long
00:05:06.280time. It's one of those crazy things when you hear that exists. People say, oh, well, Canada,
00:05:09.780They're our best friends. But then they do things like this where you can't ship fruit if it's in a package above a certain size.
00:05:15.300It doesn't even make economic sense. So we've raised it with them. We'll continue to do it.
00:05:18.700Think about that. They're weaponizing your hunger, driving up prices and starving your family just to maintain a tough guy stance against the United States.
00:05:28.860This is the definition of a government that has declared war on its own citizens.
00:05:33.180They'd rather see you starve than admit that Trump's trade policies actually make sense for all of North America.
00:05:39.000What do you think rupture means? Rupture means that things are normal. Nostalgia is not a strategy. Things have changed. Things have changed fundamentally. We get that. We understand that. That's why we get up in the morning. What do we think about when we get up in the morning? We think about affordability for Canadians, how we can make life more affordable, and how we can build this country strong, more independent, more prosperous, fairer for all. That's what we get.
00:06:03.500and our negotiations with the United States
00:06:08.140and how we diversify our partnerships elsewhere.
00:06:10.900We don't get up first thing in the morning.
00:06:12.000I do not get up first thing in the morning
