CHARLEBOIS: Thought beef prices were high? Wait until 2025

Sorry beef lovers. Beef prices are likely to remain high until mid- to late 2025, possibly even longer.

Droughts in North America have forced many cattle producers to reduce their herds, resulting in tighter supplies. Higher food costs, elevated interest rates — crucial for the capital-intensive cattle industry — and downsizing herds have collectively pushed prices to record levels. As many producers exit the industry, the reduction in supply exacerbates the situation. For cattle producers, these high prices are welcome, but for consumers, the story is quite different.

CBC president Catherine Tait billed for $1,000-a-night hotel to attend Paris Olympics

OTTAWA – Outgoing CBC President Catherine Tait spent $6,000 — including staying at a $1,000-per-night hotel — for just under five days at the Paris Olympics, an expense observers say is sure to raise eyebrows but is ultimately justifiable.

According to a copy of Tait’s calendar obtained via an access-to-information request, Tait was in Paris from July 25 to 29. She arrived the day before the opening ceremony of the Paris Summer Olympic Games.

She had no reason to be there. It’s not as if she was running around with a Go-Pro live streaming the events back home.
