Ottawa aims to cut grocery bills with $3.2B food security strategy

Summary: The Canadian government announced a $3.2 billion plan to lower grocery prices and improve food security. Prime Minister Mark Carney says the goal is to grow and process more food in Canada instead of buying it from other countries. The plan will fund new greenhouses and local food hubs to help independent stores compete with big supermarket chains. However, many citizens are upset. They argue that government taxes caused the high prices in the first place, and they worry the money will just go to big companies or politicians' friends.
