They are not wrong about the things they are writing in this specific article.
I work in the agricultural sector. It was a very bad year. For example the durum wheat harvest was down by over 50% in Canada due to the drought in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Canada is the largest producer of durum wheat, the main ingredient of pasta. Harvest was also the worst in the US since the 1960s. Prices for pasta are up worldwide because of this. There are pasta factories in Europe which shut down because of the lack of Canadian durum wheat. And durum wheat wasn't the only thing affected. Canola oil harvest is down by 35%. Hay is another concern. There is not enough hay to feed livestock over winter. We will have to import and this will raise prices again.
You can pray for rain, because if we get another year of minimal rain, it will get worse. Only 12% of fields in Saskatchewan have enough topsoil moisture currently. It's not looking good.
I know they're not wrong. If 95% of inflation is from covid lockdowns and 5% from weather (you can say that this is climate change, but it's specifically weather right now) but CTV News implies that weather is causing our inflation problems, that's media propaganda.
This post title is implying something. You understand how that works? CTV is implying one thing. Ham Sandwich is implying the exact opposite. That's satire. He's not trying to debate what the main cause of inflation is right now. We all know what it is.
CTV is implying that weather and climate changes contributed to increased prices and that is correct. Nothing more, nothing less. Ham is implying something incorrect and that's not satire.
It says "climate disasters contributed"
Are you saying they didn't?
Do you know how media propoganda works? This is how you imply something without expressly saying it.
