Federal government commits to creation of national school food program

The federal government says it will launch a national school food program, hoping to deliver meals to an additional 400,000 children per year.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland made the announcement during an event in Toronto on Monday, the latest in a series of public appearances by the prime minister and his cabinet ministers ahead of the federal budget planned for April 16.

The national program will “take pressure off of families, invest directly in the future of our kids and make sure they’re able to reach their full potential — feeling healthy and happy,” Trudeau said in a statement.

ANALYSIS: The Increasing Limitations on Christians in Canada

A March 29 social media post by Veterans Affairs Canada wishing veterans a “happy March holiday season” caused quite an uproar among many politicians and veterans, who worry that the Christian Easter holiday is being purposely renamed.

“Is [Veterans Affairs] too woke to acknowledge either the cultural or religious significance of Easter?” Conservative MP Michael Barrett wrote on X on March 30. “53% of Canadians are Christian. And nobody worth worrying about is offended by wishes of a Happy Easter.”

Observers have noted increasing instances of Christians feeling sidelined in Canada in recent years.

National Indigenous women’s organization accused of union-busting as it lays off dozens of staff

The most prominent Indigenous women’s organization in Canada is undergoing a federal financial audit where preliminary evidence of “ineligible expenses” was found, while facing union-busting allegations following a mass round of layoffs, CBC News has learned.

The Native Women’s Association of Canada (NWAC), which relies on federal dollars to operate, is battling complaints filed to the Ontario and Quebec labour boards from employees, who allege they were terminated after organizing a union drive.

At the same time, NWAC is letting go of 78 employees — or roughly half its staff — as it blames the federal government for a lack of funding.

On foreign interference, Canada has been a sitting duck

The opening day of the second round of public hearings of the Foreign Interference Commission – and the first to get at the meat of the issue – was about as heart-rending as might be imagined.

Foreign interference, as we have been learning, takes many forms: not just the election meddling that was the proximate cause of the inquiry, but propaganda and disinformation, spying and – the subject of Wednesday’s hearing – intimidation.

Hundreds of largely unknown beyond their immediate family and friends Canadian artists denounce ‘alarming’ anti-trans legislation in open letter

Don Messer and his boys would’ve rushed the stage and clubbed the weirdos to death like so many Baby Seals.

More than 400 Canadian artists from the worlds of music, film and literature are denouncing what they describe as “alarming and destructive” anti-trans legislation in an open letter released Sunday by music superstars Tegan and Sara.

The list of stars who signed the letter includes actor Elliot Page, Great Big Sea frontman Alan Doyle, actress Elisha Cuthbert, folk music legend Neil Young, recent Grammy winner Allison Russell and the two surviving members of classic children’s entertainment act Sharon, Lois and Bram.

“The anti-trans policies taking root in Canada go beyond discrimination — they present a clear risk to the mental and physical well-being of trans individuals throughout the country,” reads the letter.

It’s like a D-List of D-Lists, I mean who are the two surviving members of Sharon, Lois and Bram? Do they swap roles every two weeks?

Hollywood is dying, CanCon is the realm of the undead.

Arrogant snots who preach for the mutilation of children and think they have clout.

Terror threat in Canada ‘elevated’ after Moscow attack, says Petraeus

Retired U.S. general David Petraeus says the risk of a terror attack in Canada is “elevated” following an attack at a concert hall in Moscow that left 139 dead last week, for which an ISIS splinter group claimed responsibility.

Petraeus told The West Block host Mercedes Stephenson that an attack of such a scale makes the current state of extremism and global instability “very worrisome.”

Allies turn on Justin Trudeau over carbon tax as shine comes off premiership

Recent polls show support slumping for Canada’s prime minister – and fellow Liberals blame a 23pc hike in his flagship Net Zero tax

Justin Trudeau’s political allies have turned on him over his “Net Zero” tax policy, as his Liberal Party slumps in the polls.

The Canadian Prime Minister is facing a rebellion within his own party over the unpopular 23 per cent carbon tax rises, which will see drivers charged more for fuel from Monday.

The federal carbon price is set to bump up from Can $65 (£38) to Can $80 (£47), meaning the extra charge on gasoline will increase from 14.3 cents to 17.6 cents per litre.

Secret police report exposes Canada’s devastating economy

A new secret report by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police warns that the Canadian economy is expected to be “bleak” for the next several years under Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The report claims that living standards will continue to “decline” for “younger generations.”

While a significant portion of the report, which is labeled “Whole-of-Government Five-Year Trends for Canada,” is redacted, the report forecasts economic woes for Canada for at least the next five years.

The Americans now regard Canada as the other “Loony Bin Next Door.”

Tory lead could shrink if Trudeau leaves office

The polls may be tilted in the Tories’ favour, but the Liberals still have cards to play.

Last week, the Abacus polling company revealed that 41 per cent of respondents would vote for a Conservative Party of Canada candidate if an election were held now. Just 23 per cent would vote for a Liberal Party candidate, while support for the NDP was at 19 per cent.

The Abacus numbers mirror the results of nationwide polls recently conducted by Nanos Research and Mainstreet Research.

New ‘Strategies’ Needed to Restore Public Trust in Institutions: Government Memo

The federal government needs to develop strategies to restore public trust in the country’s institutions, an internal memo says.

There’s “growing evidence” that the public mistrusts the government, says the memo, acquired by Blacklock’s Reporter through Access to Information.

“Based on our internal discussions and trends we have seen from stakeholders and partners we suggest the following priority topics: There is growing evidence there has been an erosion of trust in democratic institutions,” said the memo by the Canada Centre for Community Engagement and Prevention of Violence, which is part of Public Safety Canada.

They could start by ceasing to lie and steal.

What Is Causing the Squatting Surge?

Dear Weekend Jolter,

Who’s up for a round of armchair sociology?

Say the world is struck by a calamity unprecedented in the modern age, and, in response, good citizens are instructed to work from home if possible and keep their children home from school; college grads are allowed to pause student-loan payments; and landlords are told not to evict tenants for falling behind on rent.

‘It’s a mafia’: the cut-throat world of Canadian maple syrup

Rebel farmers have long complaned about the federation that sets Canada’s prices. Now their bitter dispute has descended into vengeance and conspiracy theories

When the federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers announced that stocks of its strategic reserve were running low, Gabriel Jort saw it as a plot. The “cartel”, as he calls the group, was up to its usual dirty tricks.

“It’s a mafia, there’s no other way to put it,” claimed the farmer, 44, who makes about 35,000 litres of maple syrup a year. “There’s been so many weird things, shady things, it’s hard to really believe anything they say.”
