Uqaqtittiji, Michael Janke from Cambridge Bay recently compared the prices of oranges and sugar. He found that oranges are more expensive than sugar and explained that this is why Nunavummiut choose to buy groceries that are junk food as opposed to healthy foods; it is cheaper.
The Liberals love to brag about Canada's place among the G7 countries. They love to brag about its credit rating. Indeed, Canada is a rich country, for the most part anyway. Inuit are left out of economic opportunities, resulting in heavy reliance on federal programs. All the communities I represent are fly-in communities. There are no roads to help make living more affordable. Therefore, ICFI was seen as a success. The Liberals were very quick to cancel the program when Inuit were being lifted out of poverty.
Will the Liberals finally help allow the wealth of Canada to be shared with Inuit so that families can afford to feed their families?
