Moncton, New Brunswick and Berwick, Nova Scotia Canada have meat packing plants but not for long. Maple Leaf bought both and they will be shut down. Chickens from NB, NS and PEI are now trucked to Quebec, processed and trucked back here for sale. The prices have skyrockted for profiteering by a HUGE corporation. The same will happen to all other meat and meat products in Maritime Canada save for the local butchers' shops and you know Maple Leaf will try to force them out of business too.

So, me zon, I buys me Newfie chickens what's sold at the local Farmers' Coop and them Uppity Canadians* can go fuck themselves.

Maple Leaf can't even make a decent hot dog and they want $5 a pound for them... $5 a pound fer hot dogs???!!! WTF?

* Upper Canada = Ontario & Quebec

Something odd happening here. Obviously it's me being impatient. When someone delete's that double post can you fix the typo in the thread title as well? Thanks in advance.

Upper Canada is Ontario. Lower Canada is Quebec.

I'm hoping we see an NDP government next election. Right now we are paying $5.00 each for fresh 2 1/2 lb chickens. We're feeling the price crunch here, too. IMO, the two parts of Upper Canada are in Ottawa and on Bay Street. Right now, our food prices are outrageous, and people plant their own where possible. I suppose the bastards will find some way to tax that. As with many, I'm tired of seeing US potatoes, carrots, onions being sold in our stores. And I laugh when I see Mexican tomatoes being sold. We grow the damned things in Canada.

Go down to the Save Easy in Calais Maine .... chickens are at least half the price as they are here in New Brunswick.

sIx... kinda hard to drive to Maine from East Point, PEI for chickens.

BTW, how does importing chickens from Maine work?
