With rising food prices, consumers seeking deals can benefit from food rescuing.
According to a recent survey conducted by Dalhousie University’s Agri-Food Analytics Lab, nearly 20% of consumers now regularly purchase “last day of sale” deals at grocery stores, often referred to more broadly as “enjoy tonight” deals. Some of these discounts can be significant.
Last year was the most deadly non-pandemic year for excess deaths – those above the five year average – since the Second World War.
Research published tomorrow (Sunday) by scientists at Oxford University shows that while cancer and dementia deaths have fallen, deaths from heart and circulatory problems are spiralling.
This includes deaths from heart disease, heart attacks, strokes and lung clots.
Liberal, NDP MPs to travel to West Bank to connect with Palestinians
Five Canadian MPs are set to begin a week-long visit to Jordan and the West Bank today to meet with Palestinian refugees and progressive Israeli groups.
The group of MPs landing in Amman, Jordan’s capital, includes Liberal MPs Salma Zahid and Shafqat Ali and New Democrat MPs Heather McPherson (the party’s foreign affairs critic), Matthew Green and Lindsay Mathyssen.
“What we have seen in the last three months is that it is a humanitarian crisis, and the situation also in the West Bank has been worsening,” Zahid, chair of the Canada–Palestine Parliamentary Friendship Group, told CBC News prior to the MPs’ departure.
“He alone who owns the youth, gains the future.” (Adolph Hitler, 1935)
We are witness today to anti-Israel and antisemitic protests on college campuses, sometimes violent, always repulsive.
Their rants are passionate, intense, and filled with hate … and misinformation.
Questions are being asked: “How did we get to this point?” “Did it start in college?” Shockingly, the answer is no. The indoctrination begins far earlier … in high schools.

Former prime minister Jean Chretien says deciding when it’s time to step down and leave politics is simple, but “very personal.”
Chretien sat down with CTV’s Question Period host Vassy Kapelos for a wide-ranging exclusive interview airing Sunday to discuss how Canada has changed, when it’s time to leave politics and how to work with political opponents.
One hundred days ago, the previously unthinkable happened in Israel. A state, born out of adversity and war only 75 years ago, woke up to what some have since described as a threat to its very existence.
On Saturday night, in Tel Aviv, the events of 7 October were commemorated by thousands of people. Uppermost on the minds of everyone were the around 130 hostages abducted by Hamas and still being held in Gaza, although some of them may not still be alive.
Just after dawn 100 days ago, thousands of heavily armed Hamas fighters stormed through and over the Gaza border fence in several different places.
They attacked kibbutzim, military bases and border towns, accustomed to rocket attacks from Gaza but overwhelmed by the scale of the Hamas incursion.
‘No fun’: Toronto bans tobogganing at 45 hills across city, says councillor unhappy with move
Toronto has banned tobogganing at 45 hills across the city due to safety concerns and one councillor says he’s not happy with the move because there are more important issues that should be drawing the attention of city staff.
Coun. Brad Bradford, who represents Beaches-East York, said on Friday that residents can manage the physical risk of tobogganing. He said the ban shows that Toronto is becoming a “no fun city” that doesn’t respond to the needs of families.
Micro-tyranny. One more sign it’s time to leave this town.
A swarm of Pro-Palestinian supporters shouted “f–k Joe Biden” slogans as they nearly ripped down a reinforced fence outside the White House during a charged protest Saturday night.
Non-essential personnel were evacuated from the area as a precaution as the aggressive demonstration ramped up, the Secret Service confirmed.

Immigration Minister Marc Miller says in the next few months he’ll be looking at the possibility of putting a cap on the number of international students living in Canada, but he wouldn’t say how great a reduction the government is planning on making.
In an interview airing Sunday, the minister told CTV’s Question Period host Vassy Kapelos this is a conversation the federal government will need to have with provincial governments “to make sure that the provinces that have not been doing their jobs actually rein in those numbers on a pure volume basis.”
“That volume is disconcerting,” Miller said, in reference to the number of international students in Canada. “It’s really a system that has gotten out of control.”
More than 200,000 Pro-Palestinian protesters have started marching through London for the first major demonstration of 2024 — as the Metropolitan Police confirmed it had moved in to make six arrests.
Around 1,700 police officers from the Met and other UK forces have been mobilised amid fears the escalating tension in Yemen will bring more activists to the streets of the capital.
Iran-backed Houthi rebels, whose slogan includes ‘death to Israel’ and ‘curse the Jews’, have targeted commercial ships passing through the Red Sea in a show of solidarity with Palestine.
“We must normalize massacres as the status quo” said Mohammed El Kurd in his speech today in London at the Palestinian / pro-Houthi protest in the UK following the UKs airstrikes on Iran’s terror proxy in Yemen.

“We’re Number 31! We’re Number 31!”
Not sure what shape of foam finger one gets for a 31st-place ranking, but that’s what Canadians who want to celebrate international recognition of our passport are going to have to find.
According to the respected international recruitment and relocation consultancy Henley & Partners, Canada’s passport is only the 31st most respected passport in the world.

When his nine-year-old daughter Emily first came back home after nearly two months in Hamas captivity, Thomas Hand didn’t let her out of his sight. At night, he would sit up watching her sleep. Whenever she frowned, he’d wake her, worried she was having a nightmare.
The rare times that Emily went out with her two grown-up siblings, he’d put an electronic tracker in her pocket, so that he could follow her on his phone. Each day, he marvelled that she was really there, thin and exhausted, with matted hair and lice, rescued from an ordeal that defies comprehension.
Under the stage name T-Sav, Tyrel Hieu George Mahoney Nguyen drew on his experiences as a gangster to make music.
He may never win a Grammy, but the Surrey man’s lyrics did help earn him two life sentences this week from a B.C. Supreme Court judge who found one of Nguyen’s songs was essentially a thinly-veiled confession to the 2017 murder of gangster Randeep (Randy) Kang.
Just getting his life together too!
Forget the fondue.
Caviar, magic mushrooms, gold-leaf desserts, A-list selfies, $2,500-per-night hookers and secret dinners are likely to be on the menu as scores of private jets touch down in Switzerland as soon as Sunday to bring the world’s elite to the small Alpine resort town of Davos for what’s officially known as The World Economic Forum 2024.
More than 3000 masters of the universe are expected to show up for the 54th annual event at the Alpine resort nestled in the snowy Landwasser valley. The theme this year is “Rebuilding Trust.”
