CollingwoodToday welcomes letters to the editor at [email protected] or via the website. Please include your full name, daytime phone number and address (for verification of authorship, not publication). The following letter was sent in response to a CollingwoodToday article about the costs of food relative to people's income in Simcoe County.
If this article is intended as an opinion, fine.
However, if it is intended as factual journalism, it falls very short.
A six per cent increase in food cost 2024 over 2023 is part of the problem given the consumer price index falls quite short of that.
We should look at the cost in 2019 versus the cost in 2024.
Increasing wages to meet the cost of food simply feeds the inflationary wheel.
I, personally, would prefer that we decrease the cost of food to meet the wage.
And please admit who is getting wealthier, workers or corporations.
