Here's why I think Parliament chose to fund the NDP despite no official status...I think it's because the Conservatives and BQ know that a two party-system would become a 1.75-party one in reality, giving the Liberals lasting power at their own expense. The Terrebonne and other byelections make that quite clear. We need a space for Canada's left flank. And an end to FPTP.#cdnpoli #NDP #BlocQuebecois #Canada #Liberal @canadapolitics

Even if margins are low, government run grocery stores can still bring down costs by other means. For example if you use land owned by the federal/provincial/municipal government then you don't need to worry about rent, which would bring down costs.

    The government should just open it up for public grocery stores and stop large corporation like Loblaws from buying and leasing it. Allow new entrants access like they do Telecoms, treat it as a natural monopoly in its current state, since we've so royally screwed up real estate.
