Very strongly agree

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

This closely matches NDP messaging: they have repeatedly argued major grocers are profiting while families struggle and have called for action on ‘price gouging/greedflation,’ including parliamentary pressure on chains and proposals to strengthen the Competition Act.

Strongly agree

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

The NDP frequently frames affordability and access to necessities in rights-based terms and supports strong government responsibility for ensuring people can afford essentials; while ‘food is a human right’ is more activist phrasing, it aligns with their social-democratic approach.

Agree

Yes

The NDP has pushed aggressive action on grocery affordability (e.g., repeatedly calling for measures against price gouging and stronger regulation of large grocers), so they’d lean toward a cap, though they more often emphasize anti-gouging rules and competition/oversight than broad price controls.

Disagree

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

The NDP does support more competition and tougher Competition Act enforcement, but they are skeptical of relying mainly on foreign chains and ‘not government interference.’ They’d favor active regulation/anti-gouging measures alongside competition reforms.

Disagree

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

The NDP is less likely to foreground orthodox anti-price-control arguments; they tend to prioritize consumer protection and corporate accountability. They might acknowledge supply risks, but this framing is contrary to their interventionist posture on grocery prices.

Strongly disagree

No

The NDP generally rejects a hands-off approach on affordability and has advocated government intervention in grocery pricing and corporate profits (e.g., Singh’s calls to rein in ‘greedflation’ and strengthen enforcement), so a flat ‘No’ conflicts with their stance.

Very strongly disagree

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

Blaming high grocery prices primarily on the carbon tax and government debt aligns more with Conservative narratives; the NDP has generally supported carbon pricing (with equity measures) and instead targets corporate concentration/profits and weak competition enforcement.
