McCain, Cavendish Farms named in U.S. class-actions alleging 'potato cartel'

[@lufhkg]

thats what rogers bell telus have been doing

[@mateofernando5066]

It's not rogers, the new name is "Robbers". LMAO. 🤣🤣🤣

[@FayDougall]

The prices went up and the quantity went down . I haven't bought McCain or Cavendish fries in many years

[@Bunny11344]

I just roast my own spuds, no point using those brands as they’re full of preservatives

[@SoWhat59]

​@Bunny11344 Hey, how do you roast yours? I know how to deep fry them, but roasting must be healthier, so I'm wondering how to do it.

[@Bunny11344]

@ I just spray avocado oil, you can use olive oil. Pink salt, pepper and some paprika, whatever seasonings you like, and set the oven to roast, sometimes broil for 25-30 mins. If u like them fried u could always get an air fryer but I like the oven more cause big batches for the whole week

[@0.o.0.o1]

@@Bunny11344yum!

[@rainbowtaino]

No name brands on anything are much better. Look at allergy medicine for example...I mean: look at the active ingredients, you'll notice that brand names limit these ingredients while no name give the recommended dose.

[@DarkPaladin727]

Canada produces a lot of potatoes, especially on prince Edward island i was wondering why fries were getting so expensive.. Greed

[@sirxavior1583]

Canola oil prices went up too. So if your eating deep fryer french fries at a resturant it's the canola oil + potatoes price.

[@Kr0nicDragon]

Back in the days chicken used to be cheap too.

[@rizz_the_dog]

Price fixing no way. Corporations wouldn't do that.

[@captainbanana1831]

Lol

[@NotLeftarded1]

Yes blame the corporations not the government that has offered them a construct to operate in such a way.

[@rizz_the_dog]

@NotLeftarded1 kickbacks and quid pro quos. No way the rich and powerful protecting their vested interests so the wealth gap becomes even more atrocious. The rich and powerful have never been known to team up against the most vulnerable. Please let's get back to reality where we are all do the kumbaya song holding hands at the fire pit

[@BangersAndMash98]

​@@NotLeftarded1It's okay, you can blame both!

[@saucesecrete]

I just want milk and butter to be affordable again

[@jdigital9568]

NOW NAME THE DAIRY CARTELS. FREE THE WHOLE MILK.

[@InvisibleHotdog]

Another case of Canadian companies price fixing? Maybe the govt will do something after several more times

[@PandemoniumMeltDown]

Key word, children: "Maybe"

[@annawell2517]

Government = Controlled criminals 😂😂😂

[@amatte4611]

welcome to Canada you think you have choice but in reality its 3 companies owning pretty much everything and its worse now in the frozen food isle lots of products are disappearing from storefronts limiting choice, anyone else has realized that and just the lack of quality being sold

[@annawell2517]

Exactly.

[@TheGreatOceanDisasterAquariums]

Once Trump puts a 20% tariff on them they will have to whine about American products.

[@misraimsilva205]

He was president before and did absolutely nothing like all the other presidents 🎉

[@NatoWarPigs]

Fuel prices doubled.... wtf did you think was going to happen??

[@liljes34]

This country has gone so far downhill

[@birdeyecloud6801]

Nothing is good in Canada now.

[@bruce8321]

THAT IS SO IDIOTIC.

[@Tonyscasa]

Grow your own food stay away from big box stores

[@planesandbikes7353]

it is junk food who cares.

[@M_SC]

Not really.

[@davidmark866]

Honestly of all the stuff we’re getting ripped off on, I wasn’t worried about this. How about why everything else doubled?

[@jessicafattycat6624]

Corporate greed at it finest

[@M_SC]

Well no. Companies have done much worse things than price fixing

[@CassTYGirl]

Boo to the title..🤬 I had maybe 4 seconds of thinking that I might actually have a brick of $$/random drugs in my freezer instead of a bag of expired frozen crap. Back to my boring, broke, sober and excessively legal life... 😐

[@rongraham1951]

any time i go into the grocery store their products are always cheap so how can they fix prices

[@KendallBrockleman]

We have these sometimes to eat at lunch at school for a snack and we call them, SMILE FRIES!😊🍟

[@PandemoniumMeltDown]

They make me frown!

[@jburbinski7057]

Imagine my shock

[@Maxcattt-g3i]

This is all companies in Canada. We are a country of monopolies and it’s gross.

[@aatsista]

McCain's quality on fries & hashbrowns has gotten really terrible & unpalatable. Especially the new finer grind of the loose hashbrowns. The coating on Cavendish fries is not my favorite either so it's not the best choice either. Making my own or deep frying the restaurant brands at wholesale club seems to be thr only option.

[@captainbanana1831]

Ffs

[@GratefulOutlook]

Poor corporations. They have to cheat because they don't make enough money.

[@PandemoniumMeltDown]

Not "not enough", they just want more. It's called greed. Greed is bad, especially when so many Canadians need food banks to survive, lately.

[@adriandelaat2905]

Sounds familiar, bread price fixing

[@mckutzy]

Are we surprised to hear about another cartel in Canada this time its potatoes ... We already have the Syrup Cartel... been going on for along time now...

[@Heretomakeyouthink]

I bought McCain and cavendish fries on sale at 2.50cdn at Walmart and superstore and save on foods. Just last week

[@jakeace2830]

Get them all! its time for the scammy scammy to go!

[@sam1234william]

Reads softwood dumping. Wish we could sue over the dollar rate. Now that’s price fixing

[@MrBobbyBrown2006]

I could have told you that 20 years ago

[@Thephilipcartmelexperience]

Dumb lawsuit. The industry knows the costs and margins. You'd have to go to Loblaws and other retailers and just factor back from retail prices.

[@leonardmacaulay9833]

This is what happens when govt’s fed/prov allow big corporations buy up or control all the farms in their areas. Small farms are now dependant on the big producers as buyers and control what the stores charge. Here in Canada add another big percentage on carbon taxes that only seem to line the pockets of the govt and their friends.

[@wyleecoyotee4252]

You're better off not eating any of those processes foods anyway

[@M_SC]

Frozen French fries are a nearly harmless processed food.

[@wyleecoyotee4252]

@M_SC Hahahaaa 'Nearly harmless processed food' Hahahaaa No surprise there's an obesity epidemic.

[@liljes34]

That is fucked right up

[@canadianmike711]

I saw the canadian chips in vanceboro maine in 2005

[@Kr0nicDragon]

I mean that’s microsoft’s business model in a nutshell

[@JatinderSingh-uv2zw]

Junk food 👎🏻

[@Ray-z6u6t]

wow go .

[@canman5060]

McCain can use rice for their chips for the escape !

[@desireeJ0y]

They taste like socks!

[@michaelmitton7578]

Jeff Younger loses fight to stop his ex-wife castrating their 12-year-old son

[@THORSBYFOLLIES-d6o]

very misleading, he lost the fight trying to stop a medically recommended treatment that is definitely not castration, and is reversible should that be needed.

[@Kr0nicDragon]

Methinks you’re on the wrong video sir or madam or they

[@desireeJ0y]

McCains is so nasty and cheap, and they’re the only options at most places in Canada. Sucks so bad. Please please please get these nasty overpriced foods off the shelves.

[@Cnd531]

Finally

[@SgtMjr]

I have PEI tater cartel gangsta images and dialog swirling in my brain. A new TPB series is in the works by!

I don’t understand why you keep running this Doug ford slamming ad on your channel

[@PenjaminFranklyn]

[@jody-ne7xs]

Canadian Monopoly problems occure with lack of competition and government funding through Canada's facsist political system.
