How many vegetables can be bought with CERB?:
According to researchers at Dalhousie University, the Atlantic provinces are experiencing significant increases in food costs that are outstripping the rest of Canada, and New Brunswick may be the worst off.
Sylvain Charlebois, a professor at Dalhousie University and director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab, looked at numbers from Statistics Canada and found that over the past 20 years, the cost of food has risen faster than the cost of products and services that make up the consumer price index.
And nowhere more so than in New Brunswick.
Charlebois said the problem is New Brunswick's "food comes from far away and logistical costs are really a problem."
But not carbon or other taxes or unemployment or anything?
