From Victoria’s Inner Harbour to NYC Policy: Government Grocery Stores Don’t Work (Ep 514)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

I’m on the rail of a ship easing into Victoria, British Columbia—glass-calm Inner Harbour, floatplanes skimming in, Parliament & the Empress glowing like a postcard. We tour the harbor causeway, Fisherman’s Wharf, Butchart Gardens, Beacon Hill Park (Mile Zero), and more—then pivot to policy: Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani’s plan for government-run grocery stores. Sounds compassionate—until taxpayers foot the bill. We walk through Kansas City’s city-owned grocery that burned $17M+ and still shuttered, and explain why when private grocers fail, investors take the loss—but when government grocers fail, you do.
