Does not protect farmers from rising costs say Toronto report
Prof Mackensie, chair of a Board of Trade committee, outlines factors raising costs of necessities. He pins blame on gold production gains, high migration preparation costs, food tax enabling price manipulation, reduced competition, heavy telecommunication costs, weak local markets, and shortages of stores and housing. He argues the tax on foodstuffs, meant to shield farmers, now lets a few groups control prices from farm to consumer.
