CHARLEBOIS: Canada didn’t regulate grocers — it lost faith in them

The Grocers’ Code of Conduct will come into force on Jan. 1, 2026. Within the agri-food industry, expectations are high. Among consumers, they are more restrained — and rightly so.

For food processors, the adoption of this code marks a pivotal moment. For years, they have warned of a growing imbalance in their commercial relationships with large grocery chains, whose market power has consolidated to the point of weakening the processing sector and limiting the ability of independent grocers to differentiate themselves. A weakened food processing sector means less innovation, fewer choices, and ultimately, less competition for consumers.

JD Vance, After Days of Backbiting and Infighting, Plays Peacemaker at Turning Point Conference

After days of prominent conservatives taking shots at each other from the main stage of Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest, Vice President JD Vance is trying to play peacemaker for a party that seems increasingly divided.

During his headline speech on Sunday in Arizona, Mr. Vance took subtle shots at previous speakers, admitted to diving into some of the conspiracy theories around Charlie Kirk’s murder, and told conservatives to stop taking potshots inside the tent.

Come 2028, Mr. Vance is most likely to be the first Republican presidential nominee not named Trump in more than a decade. To get there, he must bandage the open wounds fellow conservatives have inflicted on one another in the wake of Kirk’s assassination in September.

But a day later, Izhan pleaded guilty via video link from jail to sexually assaulting two women in a busy Norwich high street in broad daylight in June. He was fined £200 for the offence.

KLEIN: Angry words on the streets of Canada say it all – Division is growing

The other day, someone asked me for change. I said, “Sorry, I don’t have any.” The response? “F-off and go back to your own country.” It caught me off guard—not because of the aggression, which has sadly become common on our streets, but because of the assumption. Go back to my own country? This is my country. I was born here. I’m Canadian, and I’m proud of it.

Bondi Beach shows Canadians can no longer shy away from the immigration debate

Canada’s post-October 7 antisemitism crisis mirrors Australia’s. It’s small wonder that the Bondi Beach Hanukkah pogrom is perceived by numerous Canadian observers as a bullet dodged.

If it had happened here, we would be sifting through the same forensic breadcrumbs that helped pave the road to Bondi: principles bent for Muslim votes, calculated tolerance for criminal activity directed against Jews and the demonization of Israel in high political and cultural places.

The question now is: what can we do to prevent such a tragedy in Canada?

FYI Barb some of us have been discussing Canada’s suicidal immigration policy for decades.

Bill Clinton spokesperson says White House is using him as scapegoat after Epstein files release

Epstein Clinton and guy who supplied crappy shirts

A spokesperson for Bill Clinton accused the White House late on Friday of using him as a scapegoat after pictures of the former president with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, as well as with a young woman in a pool, were included as part of congressionally ordered release of government files.

“The White House hasn’t been hiding these files for months only to dump them late on a Friday to protect Bill Clinton,” the spokesperson said in a statement on X.

“This is about shielding themselves from what comes next, or from what they’ll try and hide forever. So they can release as many grainy 20-plus-year-old photos as they want, but this isn’t about Bill Clinton. Never has, never will be,” the statement added.
