It's wrong to steal. Canada has many food banks, charities and social programs to help people who genuinely need assistance. These people aren't stealing to feed their hungry child, they're stealing in protest of price inflation - which just exacerbates the inflationary pressure. It's misguided and should not be celebrated.
- drewcoo 4y agoIt's wrong to let people go hungry. Privatized, for-profit food will result in hungry people. This is not at all new. There will also be stories about welfare moms stealing candy bars to distract from the real issue because once people are angry about anything they stop being reasonable, take sides, and dig their heels in. Privatized, for-profit food will also result in price gouging for the less affluent. This is also not new. The current price bumps are being felt by the middle class, though, and that's a potential danger to the price-raisers. People often see it as ethical to beat up the bully (thus our entirely punitive prison system); parallel to that, they see it as ethical to steal from the thief.
