Companies specializing in the production of cricket-based human food have received substantial subsidies from the federal government amounting to $420,023 since 2018, according to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF).
“Canadians are struggling as inflation pushes up grocery bills, but subsidizing snacks made out of bugs doesn’t sound like the right solution for taxpayers,” Franco Terrazzano, CTF federal director, said in a Sept. 11 news release.
