For retired child-care worker Kim Agnew, inflation means putting TV dinners in her cart instead of meat.
“It’s terrible. It was $13.50 for a pack of chicken thighs, but the frozen dinners were only five bucks. So I had to do what I had to do,” said the 67-year-old after her regular shop at the Superstore on Brimley Rd. in Scarborough.
“Forget the boneless, skinless that I used to eat,” she said as she schlepped her bags across the bridge over Highway 401 on her way home.
Patrick Brown claims he is fighting to stay in the Conservative Party leadership race. But he has already given the final cry of a man who knows he has lost.
When the chips were down and Brown’s campaign was disqualified over an allegation made by a member of his own team, Brown tried to make himself look better by throwing the Conservative base under the bus. In a statement, he said, “I thought Canadians deserved a real conservative alternative … I’m disappointed that we’re being robbed of that opportunity to build a modern, inclusive Conservative Party.”
There was always something off about this guy.
If you’ve needed a new passport within the last few months, good luck.
Those whose essential travel document expired within the last two years of the COVID-19 pandemic are now facing a harsh new reality when it comes to getting a renewed passport. Long lines, camping overnight outside passport offices, desperation, tears, flared tempers and the occasional fist fight.
That is if they weren’t willing to pony up hundreds of dollars, at a rate of $25 to $50 per hour, to pay someone to wait in line at the passport office for them.
But they’ll all get pay raises and increased benefits at your expense. Our politicians and predatory civil service unions have created a new ruling class. They hate us.
Hunter Biden blamed First Lady Jill Biden for forcing him to go back to rehab – calling her a ‘selfish silly entitled c***’, ‘a moron’, ‘stupid’, and ‘vain’ – after she offered him a house and sent him loving messages.
The biting insults were made behind his stepmother’s back in text messages on a newly uncovered backup of Hunter’s cell phone stored on his abandoned laptop.
The vicious verbal attack, appears to be over Hunter’s family asking him to go back to rehab in winter of 2018.
“The situation in the city is very, very bad. The Russian occupiers are increasing their presence all the time. They ride around the city with impunity and break down the doors of houses and apartments. Soldiers usually come at around midnight and start searching for evidence of partisan activity. Often, they just take people away. Now they’ve turned their attention to officials. A few days ago, they arrested the mayor and some members of the city council. It’s getting worse…”
Residents of one Portland neighborhood say as many as 16 people have broken into two vacant houses on their street and are coming in and out at all hours, piling up trash and leaving used needles in the grass.
… It would be fooling ourselves to imagine Canada is immune to the lure of populism. Toronto’s Rob Ford rose to power on a promise to wrest the city away from its self-serving elite and “stop the gravy train.” Last winter’s freedom-convoy mess in Ottawa unveiled a seam of anger at overreaching governments and established institutions. Many Canadians are weary of being told to reflect on the wrongs of Canadian history, however real and grave.”
That should read “however real and fake graves” There are so many hit pieces on Poilievre I am beginning to think he plants them to garner public support.
“Heavily armed” police descended on the home of former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon Friday, following a call to law enforcement falsely claiming there was a shooter at the address.
It’s a sad thing about Boris Johnson. His resignation/ouster I mean. Just as we were getting used to his wonderfully comic interludes — the exchange on Putin’s pecs at the G7 last week, that was a real winner — there he is, gone.
That leaves Justin Trudeau — who played backup during the Putin-pecs riff (“bare-chested horseback riding” was his killer line) — without a partner. All very sad. The world needs its chuckles.
Providers of sex education in schools are teaching children that prostitution is a “rewarding job” and failed to advise a 14-year-old girl having sex with a 16-year-old boy that it was illegal.
Outside organisations teaching children about sex also promote “kinks” such as being locked in a cage, flogged, caned, beaten and slapped in the face, The Times has found.
One organisation encouraged pupils to demonstrate where they like to touch themselves sexually, in a practise criticised as “sex abuse” by campaigners.
Canada is experiencing a rate of inflation not seen since 1983, but economists say not everyone is experiencing it in the same way.
Canada’s inflation rate — an increase in the cost of goods and services measured by the consumer price index — hit 7.7 per cent in May, according to Statistics Canada, driven by a combination of increased cost of living, supply chain issues and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Organizers of the “Freedom Convoy” discussed using their ties to Métis identity to play the “race card” as part of an overall strategy to control their public image and garner sympathy for their cause, text messages suggest.
The messages between Tamara Lich and Chris Barber, obtained by Ottawa police and entered as evidence by the Crown in Lich’s bail hearing this week, indicate how acutely aware the organizers were of the optics of the protest.
Scrolling through the sea of posts, pictures, and memes online can make conservatives feel like they’re outcasts. Endless screeds claiming anyone to the right of Mao is a bigoted and hateful person make up most of Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. But a growing cadre of conservative creatives is trying to make its mark online and prove the left doesn’t have a monopoly on the digital world.
Dutch farmers have been blocking highways, supermarkets and food distribution centres for the past week over a policy that is similar to what we could soon see in Canada.
In fact, if Justin Trudeau isn’t careful, the next protest he sees might be tractors and farmers rather than truckers.
This is wild.
The Dutch farmers that are fighting against the government didn’t erect a flag of the Netherlands in their square but a Canadian Flag. 🇨🇦
