The word "fraud" is not used even once in this CBC article about grocery corporations committing fraud.
It's been said many times, but many Canadians aren't getting it, so I'll say it again: it's not the carbon tax that is making food expensive, it's price gouging.

One difference between this and shooting a CEO on a NYC sidewalk is that the former is murder on a mass scale.
A second difference is that we chose as a society to prosecute one while excusing the other as an acceptable human sacrifice to capitalism, which is horrific. WTF is wrong with us?
