Since July 2020, Canada has made approximately 413 million kilograms of preferential dairy access available to the United States. Only about 164 million kilograms were utilized. Approximately 249 million kilograms, or 60% of the negotiated access, went unused...

This Hoekstra petition got me thinking...
Can we start a petition to remove David Cochrane as host of Power & Politics and replace him with Katie Simpson?
Unlike Cochrane, Simpson doesn’t lead guests toward predetermined answers. She is as neutral as a host should be, and the conversations are far more informative with her at the helm.
“Right now, 90% of Canadians are hearing only one side of almost every food-related story—especially when it involves policies implemented by Ottawa: carbon pricing, supply management, the GST holiday on food, and even the Gordie Howe Bridge. That’s why I’m speaking out.”
@FoodProfessor Every time I go shopping I see price increases. Items I use to purchase monthly I now leave in the stores. Sadly I don't see anything getting any better soon.
"The big pricing story at the grocery store right now is chicken, not beef. Chicken prices have increased faster than beef in many parts of the country, yet the media is largely avoiding the topic — and we all know why. Chicken is supply-managed, and few are willing to criticize supply management ahead of the CUSMA review."
"Americans are going after our mushroom growers simply to send a political message, and I expect more agri-food sectors to be targeted. They’re pressuring us because they can. This is the largest economy in the history of the world increasingly convinced that globalization has failed."
Nova Scotia is moving forward with offshore exploration that could help create jobs, grow our economy, and strengthen our energy security.
A private sector bid worth $210 million has secured two offshore petroleum exploration licences in Nova Scotia waters, pending government approval. This is private investment focused on exploration and understanding what resources may exist offshore.
As we continue defending Nova Scotia’s economy against President Trump’s trade war and global uncertainty, attracting this kind of private investment helps create opportunity here at home and supports good-paying jobs for Nova Scotians.
For media stories on food inflation tomorrow, expect the usual suspects — Liberal-leaning, and often publicly funded academics and experts (rarely disclosed) — to once again argue that rising food prices have little to do with Ottawa’s policies. Ironically, many of them neither conduct research on food pricing nor forecast food inflation.
Instead, expect the usual explanations: Trump, climate change, consumer demand, or vague accusations of “profiteering,” while avoiding more difficult conversations about taxes, regulation, counter-tariffs, recycling fees, and policy decisions affecting Canada’s food supply chain.
Canadians deserve a fuller picture of what’s actually driving food costs.
This pattern has become more noticeable as many media organizations themselves have grown increasingly dependent on federal funding to survive.
"The average household in Canada will throw away up to $300 worth of perfectly good food simply because they believe a product is no longer safe after the best before date has passed. If the package is unopened, why throw it out? Best before dates are there to help consumers enjoy products in their optimal state for freshness and quality — that’s it."
Some of the world’s leading climate scientists are now acknowledging that humanity is unlikely to follow the catastrophic path that dominated climate communication for much of the last decade.
So Canada needs climate policy rooted in pragmatism, not ideology. Especially in food...

Their light will always shine.
