Today was ... interesting. If you followed me for the past months over on the shitbird site, you might have seen a bunch of angry German words, lots of graphs, and the occassional news paper, radio, or TV snippet with yours truely. Let me explain.
In Austria, inflation is way above the EU average. There's no end in sight. This is especially true for basic needs like energy and food.
Our government stated in May that they'd build a food price database together with the big grocery chains. But..
It would be nice to be able to bring to light the price gouging that is taking place in Canada with regards to grocery stores.
Are we looking to expand what’s here on the Grocery Tracker to incorporate what they are doing with the Austrian site?
I’d also like to look at other pinch points of government heel dragging. Housing, energy, medical, transportation, telecom, news etc.
We all see these government contracts go out for seven figures and it’s always shown to be blown out of proportion.
A nice added bonus to the project in Austria was someone giving historical data. It would be great to have a similar leg up for Canada.
I know of one in Alberta.

Nice find! This looks like exactly it, but Canadian.
