Canada’s competition watchdog to investigate grocery industry in wake of soaring food prices

Canada’s competition watchdog is launching a study of the grocery industry to examine whether the highly concentrated sector is contributing to rising food costs.

“With inflation on the rise, Canadian consumers have seen their purchasing power decline,” the Competition Bureau said in a news release Monday.

“This is especially true when buying groceries. In fact, grocery prices in Canada are increasing at the fastest rate seen in 40 years.”

The government is largely responsible for inflation, are they suggesting we should trust the Liberals to investigate themselves?

Chrystia Freeland is right to condemn doing business with dictators. Will Trudeau listen?

There were a couple of things that were quite striking about Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland’s clarion call at a Brookings Institution forum last week where she called for a radical dismantling of the global trade paradigm that Russia and China have lately proved so successful in subverting by coercion, blackmail and war.

Justin loves the taste of Dicktators.

Canadians must give thanks to our Loblaw overlords for their generous new marketing campaign

Canada’s kind and gracious grocery overlords have bestowed upon civilians a most wonderful gift. This treasure, glistening in the sun’s brightest yellow and with words of bold black tourmaline, shall adorn the homes of all Canadians from Victoria to St. John’s, Whitehorse to Toronto. Man, woman and child will, for the next three months, rejoice in this bounty at a cost equivalent to what it is now.

Good read, it nicely details the hypocrisy of this stunt. I remember finding a largish piece of wood in some No Name Peas, probably from a skid. Galen wouldn’t take my call.

Trudeau Liberals working on program to regularize status of 500,000 ̷i̷m̷m̷i̷g̷r̷a̷n̷t̷s̷ illegal alien invaders who depress wages and contribute to the housing shortage

The federal government is aiming to create a program that will provide a path to permanent residency for up to 500,000 immigrants who are working in Canada but do not have official standing.

The program would have unprecedented scope and apply to people whose visa or work permits had expired, and to those whose refugee applications may have been denied or blocked due to a moratorium on deportations to their country, according to Radio-Canada.

“We’re looking into ways to regularize people who live in Canada with a precarious status,” a government source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Radio-Canada.

Why are they working? Why haven’t their employers been prosecuted for harboring illegal aliens?

Pure CBC propaganda.

Irving shipyard recruiting foreign workers to build new warship fleet despite vow of more jobs for Canadians

Irving Shipbuilding wants to bring in more foreign workers to help construct the Canadian navy’s new fleet of warships.

Irving is involved in a recruiting campaign to bring in workers from the Philippines as it gets ready to construct the first of 15 Canadian Surface Combatants.

… But Irving employees told this newspaper that the firm is losing skilled Canadian shipbuilders because the firm is not paying enough and benefits are lacking.

Big LPC supporters I hear.

Canada to have 50 million people, half of them immigrant families, by 2041

Canadian immigration levels are currently at their highest since the era just before the First World War, when mass immigration was used to homestead the prairies. Just last year, Canada brought in 401,000 new permanent residents.

One result of this influx, according to new projections from Statistics Canada, is that Canada will be home to as many as 50 million people by 2041. It’s twice as high as the Canadian population as recently as 1980. It also means that over the next 19 years, we’ll be adding enough new Canadians to equal the present-day equivalent of all of Western Canada (the combined population of Alberta, B.C., Saskatchewan and Manitoba was 11 million in the last census).

Canada – A Great Big Leicester.

Sabrina Maddeaux: Poilievre’s tax plan will help the low-income workers Trudeau let down

Tax code matters are one of the more convoluted and least enthralling aspects of governance. Many politicians either generally avoid the topic or simplify it to the extreme: you either cut taxes or raise them.

Whether leaders assume a lack of interest on voters’ behalf, think they’re too dumb to grasp the details, or are in fact too dense to do so themselves, the effect is the same. Canadians miss out on lively debate and fresh ideas about a topic that greatly impacts their –– and the country’s –– economic health.

Canada developing path to permanent residency for undocumented workers

Canada’s undocumented workers could gain a new avenue to permanent residency through a program under development by the federal government to tackle the underground economy.

It is a pivotal turning point for some of the 500,000 undocumented residents estimated to be in Canada. Many work precarious and often exploitative jobs in construction, cleaning, caregiving, food processing and agriculture.

Undocumented residents face a range of vulnerabilities, including poor mental and physical health caused by social isolation and abusive working conditions.

The Trudeau government is fighting inflation on the backs of the poor. Mass immigration ensures depressed wages. The Bank of Canada has recently instructed the corporate class not to increase wages, how convenient.

Ottawa has continued its mysterious deference to China. What happened to the promised ‘reset’?

As we mark the six-month anniversary of Vladimir Putin’s assault on Ukraine and on world order, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced the creation of a special team in Canada to counter the Kremlin’s raging disinformation campaign.

There is a real need to address this threat to the concept of truth, which is the basis of democracy and human rights. But why limit the team’s mandate to the lies of just one offender? This essentially tells China that Ottawa will not be responding to the more richly funded propaganda scheme being run out of Chinese embassies and consulates across Canada.

Toronto’s Pearson airport now only 2nd worst in world for delays.

Fatima Sherefa, 17, had a rough night at Toronto’s Pearson Airport on Aug. 6.

Her flight from Toronto home to Winnipeg had been delayed several times and then, just after midnight, it was cancelled.

Sherefa says Air Canada staff didn’t offer hotel accommodation for the night, and instead passed out yoga mats to stranded travellers.

Sabrina Maddeaux: Tiff Macklem wants workers to keep paying for his mistakes

For an institution that continues to claim it’s independent and apolitical, the Bank of Canada sure keeps doing not-so-independent and apolitical things. In the latest news, BoC Governor Tiff Macklem gave insider advice to business leaders not to raise workers’ wages.

How do you best depress worker’s wages?

Open the immigration floodgates as the Trudeau government has done.

How did Pearson airport’s delays get so bad? Inside the patchwork system that failed to stop the crisis

They bore the brunt of the near shutdown of the aviation industry. Tens of thousands of pilots, flight attendants, security screeners and baggage handlers were suddenly out of work when passenger travel all but vanished during the early days of the pandemic. Many of them left the industry for good.

Tim Perry, a WestJet pilot and president of the Canadian arm of the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), warned politicians 10 months into the pandemic that it would take several years for all those jobs to return without financial aid from Ottawa.

The solution to every problem in Canada is more socialism for corporate Canada.

Rex Murphy: That sound you hear could be the country fragmenting

The Liberal government’s fixation with Trudeau-style climate action is fracturing Canada

Does it have the authority?

And, if indeed it does have the authority, a question not nearly as clear as the Liberal government believes or presumes, is whether it has the moral and political rights to exercise that authority? Just because something can be done is never the same as it should be done.

Ken Coates: Canada is a country without a centre, without a purpose

… But our greatest challenge is at home. One of the world’s most over-governed nations, Canada is on the verge of earning new stripes for ineffective governance. Many Canadians found a safe financial haven with CERB and other support payments during the early years of the pandemic. But the federal government workforce’s almost unchecked expansion has not been matched by higher quality services or improved attention to citizen’s needs.

Government application and reporting systems have turned into expensive slogs, while reporting on outcomes has declined dramatically. Approval processes for mines and major infrastructure projects deter all but the most determined companies. The country is an outlier on oil and gas production; African nations are urging major investments, while Canada does its best to keep this energy in the ground, at great cost to its treasuries.
