Starting today, more than 12 million Canadians will receive extra support through the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit to help cover the cost of groceries and everyday essentials.
For a family of four, that means up to $1,890 this year. For a single Canadian, up to $950.
Aujourd’hui, de l’argent ira directement dans le compte bancaire de plus de 12 millions de Canadiens.
Et c’est grâce à la nouvelle Allocation canadienne pour l’épicerie et les besoins essentiels, qui donne un coup de pouce aux Canadiens qui en ont le plus besoin.
Canada paid $24 million to help a Chinese company make baby formula and ship 85% of it to China.
The Canada Royal Milk story has layers.
Layer 1: a Chinese dairy giant built Canada's largest infant formula plant in Kingston Ontario.
Layer 2: Canadian taxpayers contributed at least $24 million to the project.
Layer 3: early planning documents show 85% of production was intended for export to China from day one.
Layer 4: it used supply-managed Canadian milk priced and controlled to protect Canadian food sovereignty.
Layer 5: supply management advocates defend this system against American trade pressure every CUSMA cycle.
Layer 6: supply management is a major trade irritant cited in the CUSMA negotiations.
Bottom line: the system designed to keep Americans out subsidized Chinese exports.
If you were the Americans at the negotiating table, wouldn’t this make you furious?
And as a Canadian, doesn’t it anger you that we ship baby formula made with Canadian milk out of the country while parents here face sky-high prices and shortages?
A one-time top-up payment of the new Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit goes out today.
Over 12 million Canadians will benefit, helping those in need to get ahead.
All @costcocanada chicken is now halal, used to be separate. I am Christian, not Muslim, and refuse to support this soft takeover. I do not recognize “allah” as the greatest. @costco, please stop this. N.American is NOT an islamic state. Thanks @FoodProfessor - eyes opened.
The Prime Minister billed taxpayers:
$18,000 for salmon.
$4,213 for crème brûlée.
$3,800 for chocolate.
$593 for luxury Normandy butter.
On Only 3 Flights last year.
You get to enjoy the foodbank while Mark Carney gets Normandy Butter
Had a day of insightful and thought-provoking conversations with the @UniofOxford’s @BlavatnikSchool on the future of democracy in a tech-driven world.
Thank you to Dean Woods, to the Blavatnik students, and to the Canadian alumni I had the pleasure of speaking with.
House of Commons was full of talk about forced labour yesterday.
I’d like to remind people... Mark Carney, while he was at Brookfield, was fined for slave labour conditions on a soybean farm in Brazil.
This is the craziest story I've seen.
😭I thought I was reading this wrong, but nope
Carney government is giving out $2.7 million in bonuses to Alto bureaucrats
That’s the crown corporation that *hasn’t built a train yet*
You, the taxpayer, are paying bonuses to bureaucrats for imaginary trains
Can’t make this up
Is it just me, or have the attacks on Pierre Poilievre gone into overdrive ever since the recession numbers came out?
You’d think people would be asking questions about the economy, inflation, and affordability.
Instead, it’s back to “Pierre bad.”
Anyone else noticing the timing?
The Carney Liberals now have the support of half of all Canadians, according to a new Postmedia-Leger poll.
It's the first time any governing party has hit that benchmark in popular support in more than two decades https://t.co/oP35rCypm5
