It's a demoralization thread that pops up any time Canadians start discussing anything interesting.
It's rumoured to be Daisy Analytics that are behind it but the game is to go to a fucking expensive store, buy something that's overpriced because it's a premium brand or something that's out-of-season, take a picture of the price then pretend that the price of groceries is (even more) ridiculous.
As we can see here with this honeycrisp apple, a premium fruit which is being purchased slightly before season from the organic aisle to make it seem like it's obscenely priced to people who are used to buying apples for $0.99 per lb or less at this time of year.
It's a trap designed to draw in people who live with their parents and don't do the grocery shopping in their town. The interesting thread dies because half the Canadian posters are now commenting on food prices.
You have to give it to whichever shilling firm does the "Canada is collapsing" threads because it's an effective tactic. Don't think it's anything other than a distraction though, if you ever see a thread like that it means something interesting has happened and that shills have been payed to distract people.
That's the trick, groceries are definitely going up so it seems plausible at first but once you start investigating you realize it's someone fucking around.
Never trust a anything you see on 4chan.
