Show Notes
It's that time of the week where we check in with all things Ottawa and that's where we find Managing Editor of Blacklock's Reporter, Tom Korski. A grocers’ lobbyist yesterday denied allegations of profiteering. Profit margins in the retail food trade average three percent, the Commons finance committee was told. Jagmeet Singh wants an investigation and has been railing on greed inflation because grocers are making record profits. But there is no evidence that it’s happening. Also, Homeowners who paid down mortgages and built up equity should “demonstrate allegiance” by paying more tax, says a CMHC consultant. That and more on today's Blacklock's Check-In.
