Canada’s food inflation figures are wrong, critics say — mainly because just three grocers supply the data

… Poor data collection on food prices means Canadians may be finding it much harder to put food on the table than the federal government is acknowledging, after all.

Take the federal agency’s own findings, Morrison said. In September 2019, Canadians paid an average of $2.82 for 500 grams of peanut butter, according to Statistics Canada.

In September 2020, that price had dropped to $2.69. And by September 2021, it was back at $2.82.

“I don’t see this in my data,” said Morrison. “We see a range from $3.39 to $5.59 in the current price. And at the highest, we see up to $9.99.”

Quebec premier says Trudeau must ensure province does not lose a seat

Quebec Premier François Legault has challenged Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to ensure that the province does not lose a seat in the planned redistribution of parliamentary ridings in Canada.

Legault said that, following the recognition of Quebec as a nation by Parliament, ensuring it does not lose political representation in Ottawa is a “test” for Trudeau.

His challenge to the prime minister to protect Quebec’s political influence in Parliament follows Elections Canada’s plans to strip the province of an MP in the House of Commons.

Taxpayers billed millions for federal gun buyback scheme without any guns bought

Originally the Department of Public Safety gave a contract to IBM Canada to create a framework for the program costing taxpayers $1.1 million. Several months later, that contract increased by $395,6000 after signing onto optional services.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) has since called the wasteful spending a “boondoggle” for the government.

Justin Trudeau wants a “just transition” away from Canada’s energy sector

As Justin Trudeau’s government seeks to “decarbonize” Canadian industry, the Liberals are advancing what they call a “just transition” devoted to “helping workers and communities thrive in a net-zero carbon economy.” While it sounds noble, it’s an initiative based on the idea of phasing out jobs in Canada’s oil and gas sector. Moreover, it neglects to recognize the work being done by the energy industry, such as investing in carbon capture and storage, which reduce emissions without punitive carbon taxes.

Who is the populist mob: lockdown skeptics, or the forced vaccine people?

Being populist to me means listening to people who actually work for a living, not just those who have the luxury lifestyle of being paid to give opinions, which really isn’t work. One of the things that bothers me about elitists is their refusal to use plain language. And I don’t believe it’s because they’re smarter; smart people believe in communicating effectively and clearly. The over-use of jargon, the invention of fake words and using complicated words where simple ones will do, isn’t about improving communication, it’s about making it harder, to keep out outsiders. Use jargon; use acronyms; denounce other people’s language as obsolete or even racist. That’s a form of elitism.
