It’s hard to say what’s the worst part about Toronto City Council voting in favour of government run grocery stores. Perhaps it’s just that, shockingly, it’s a real thing that actually happened, taking valuable time and resources away from serious governance that could improve the livability of Toronto.
Last week, Councillor Anthony Perruzza put forward a motion that “City Council establish a pilot project to open four municipally operated grocery stores within the City of Toronto.” The locations would be chosen with “priority given to neighbourhoods with limited access to full-service grocery stores and where residents have lower average household incomes.”
