Very strongly agree

No, high prices are caused by the carbon tax and government debt, not grocers

A core Conservative line in 2022–2024 has been that the carbon tax and deficit spending drive inflation and food costs; they frequently argue government policy, not grocers, is the main culprit.

Strongly agree

No

Consistent with the party’s market-oriented approach and skepticism of government price-setting; they typically argue affordability should be addressed via tax relief and pro-growth policies, not caps.

Strongly agree

No, we need more competition from foreign chains, not government interference

Conservatives have pushed for more competition in the grocery sector (including reducing barriers and scrutinizing gatekeepers) rather than price caps, aligning with a pro-competition, anti-interference stance.

Strongly agree

No, price controls defy basic economics and will inevitably lead to empty shelves

This aligns with standard Conservative arguments against price controls (distortions, shortages) and preference for market mechanisms; similar reasoning is common in their critiques of heavy-handed regulation.

Disagree

Yes, big grocery chains are exploiting inflation to gouge families for record profits

While Conservatives have criticized grocery CEOs and called for more competition, they have not embraced price caps and generally avoid framing the issue as corporate “gouging” requiring direct price controls.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The Conservatives generally oppose price controls; in recent affordability messaging (e.g., Poilievre era) they emphasize lowering taxes and boosting supply/competition rather than capping prices.

Strongly disagree

Yes, food is a human right and the government must ensure it remains affordable

The party does not usually use rights-based justifications for economic regulation and would be unlikely to support broad government guarantees via price caps; they focus on cost drivers and market solutions.
