Grocery stores have become a lightning rod for consumer discontent amid inflation and lingering mistrust after a bread price-fixing scandal.
A case of sticker shock in the poultry aisle of a downtown Toronto grocery store owned by Loblaw Companies, Canada’s largest food retailer, caused a backlash on social media about what, and perhaps who, is behind the rise in food prices.
Alberta is about to be plunged into another recession, or at least the Trudeau government is going to do its damnedest to plunge us into one. Their stated goal for kicking the stilts out from under our economy once again (by my count, the third Alberta recession caused by a prime minister named Trudeau), will be to save the planet from climate crisis.
An RCMP squad charged with policing resistance to resource extraction in British Columbia spent nearly $50 million enforcing injunctions obtained by the petroleum and forestry sectors in its first five years, an internal accounting shows.
The figures, released to CBC News under access-to-information law, offer the first publicly available, if rough, estimate of the costs incurred by Community-Industry Response Group (C-IRG).
Formed in 2017, the C-IRG has no defined territorial jurisdiction, an unknown number of members, and no set budget. It goes where industry meets land occupations, blockades and civil disobedience.
Still no leads on the Coastal GasLink domestic terrorist attack. It’s as if someone doesn’t want this crime to be solved.
‘No reason’ Canadians detained in Syria should still be there, lawyer tells court
OTTAWA – A lawyer for citizens detained in northern Syria who want to return to Canada says the federal government will continue to create obstacles and reverse decisions unless it is ordered to bring them home.
The Federal Court heard final arguments Friday in a challenge from family members of 23 Canadians held in Syria who say Ottawa is violating Charter rights by not arranging for their return.
Lawrence Greenspon, one of the lawyers representing detainees, questioned whether Global Affairs Canada could be trusted to appropriately deal with the issue in the absence of a court order to act.
Let’s see, Kill Crazy Muslim Psychopaths’, yup sounds like Justin’s kind of diversity.
Of course … Quebec woman returned from ISIS detention camp in northeastern Syria granted bail
It will cost Canadian taxpayers upwards of $6.5 billion to acquire six Arctic Offshore Patrol Ships for the navy and two additional similar vessels for the coast guard, according to newly tabled documents and a statement from the federal government.
Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) says a contract amendment has been signed with Irving Shipbuilding Inc. of Halifax, N.S. that allows for a top-up to the budget for the military ships and sets the contract price for the coast guard vessels.
The cost of the navy ships has now risen to $4.98 billion from an earlier projection of $4.3 billion. The contract for the coast guard vessels has been set at $1.6 billion — an increase of $100 million from the figures tabled before Parliament last spring.
In an age of all weather long loitering armed reconnaissance drones are patrol craft as needed?
Canada is experiencing a population boom.
Figures released recently by the federal government are quite staggering: the country grew by 437,000 new residents in 2022 and projections from Ottawa indicate that roughly 1.45 million more will join them over the next three years. According to a recent story in The Globe and Mail, since 2016, Canada has grown at nearly double the average rate of its G7 peers.
In most cases, however, it isn’t newborns enhancing our population growth but adults coming to Canada through our immigration and refugee program – a fact that has consequences far and wide.
The new year begins with Alberta and Saskatchewan on the warpath, thank goodness. In December, the Alberta Sovereignty within a United Canada Act received Royal Assent, while the Saskatchewan First Act recently passed second reading in the Saskatchewan legislature. These Acts will be of limited usefulness as legal instruments, and neither will change the Constitution. But that is not the game here. Alberta and Saskatchewan’s most potent defence against the dual threat of an interventionist federal government and legally imaginative Supreme Court of Canada is broad political dissent. These two bills signal a long winter of discontent with and challenge to the prevailing order.
A Sussex-area businessperson who was one of the largest financial donors to the Freedom Convoy is asking a court in Ontario to throw out an attempt to sue him for damages.
Brad Howland, who gave $75,000 to the convoy that paralyzed downtown Ottawa last winter, is named in a motion to designate him as the representative of everyone who gave money to support the protest.
It’s part of a broader class-action lawsuit filed on behalf of downtown Ottawa residents, businesses and employees who say the convoy disrupted their lives.
The professional regulatory body charged with licensing and upholding standards for psychologists in the province has ordered Peterson to undergo remedial social media training, what he calls reeducation.
Soaring food prices don’t seem to be slowing down, amid rising inflation and an increase in the cost of living, and Canadians are blaming large supermarket chains.
Several photos posted on social media over the holidays showed a surge in prices of certain food items found in supermarkets, including chicken breast and canned goods, sparking outrage among many Twitter users.
As Canadian immigration reaches the highest levels seen in its history, a Radio-Canada investigation has publish allegations that the surge may have been heavily influenced by a U.S.-founded consultancy that has collected more than $60 million from the Trudeau government.
McKinsey & Co. — a multi-billion dollar global consultancy firm with five locations in Canada —only scored the occasional contract with the Canadian federal government in the years preceding the 2015 election of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The answer is yes, the Banana Republic of Canada’s immigration policy is a welfare program designed to benefit the corporate class not citizens.
You would think that Pierre Poilievre and Jagmeet Singh would be up in arms at this revelation. Forget it, they’re in on the mass-immigration scam.
The wonder is that this story even saw the light of day on English CBC and didn’t remain buried on Quebec’s Radio-Canada.
Mass immigration is not a savior of the economy and immigrants age so if you believe the lie that they’ll be paying for your pension then congratulations on buying into the Ponzi scheme.
The masses of warm bodies are used to depress your wages and create shortages in housing and services that can be exploited for profit – on your back.
Taxpayer-funded Crown corporation VIA Rail will run at an estimated operating deficit of $411 million this year, according to the company’s newest corporate plan. Despite layoffs and service cuts to try and slow steep losses, the railway is expected to continue to lose money for at least two more years, according to the report.
The railway lost $370.5 million in 2021 and $415.8 million in 2020.
A federal department briefing note says that organized crime is suspected to be operating in the public sector, although the specific federal offices that are allegedly involved went unnamed.
“It is also suspected that organized crime groups are also involved in areas of the public sector,” said the memo from the Department of Public Safety, titled “Organized Crime” and obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter through Access to Information.
The note estimated about 26 criminal gangs to be active “within Canadian public sector agencies or departments.”
As inflation bites into people’s wallets, eating out is set to get even more expensive in Canada this year.
That’s according to Restaurants Canada, a national food service association with almost 30,000 members across the country.
Bail hearings are scheduled for later this month for four of eight girls facing second-degree murder charges in the death of a Toronto homeless man.
Police have said that three 13-year-olds, three 14-year-olds, and two 16-year-olds allegedly swarmed and stabbed a 59-year-old man in the city’s downtown core in mid-December.
One teen is set to appear in court for a bail hearing on Jan. 20, two others on Jan. 25, and another on Jan. 27.
