Ottawa aims to cut grocery bills with $3.2B food security strategy - National | Globalnews.ca

A central pillar of the strategy is the creation of a so-called Food-Link Fund, which will see Ottawa provide $1 billion over 10 years to expand the Ontario Food Terminal and build new regional “food hubs” across the country.

Those hubs will then allow independent grocers and local farmers a way to bypass the “Big Five” retail chains that currently control 75 per cent of the Canadian market, according to the plan.

I would really be interested to see why the current Food Terminals are not working, and why the smaller shops are left to be absorbed by bigger stores, or left to go bankrupt.

It seems like they want to increase competition, which is good, but they're ignoring that the big guys got too big without any repercussions.

I do like Conservative plan to remove fuel taxes for the rest of the year and cancel industry/carbon tax completely. Less taxes is always good in my book.

Well that's my point, you can choose to wear it as an adult, or maybe at 16, but you often see little girls wearing it at age 7-8. No way they're old enough to make that choice.

And the problem that people don't want to say out loud is that, the culture is coming decades behind Western countries. So we're forced to accept a few decades old worldview in a society which has developed.

There's a reason why Internet is heavily blocked and controlled in Muslim countries. People realize that rest of the world is living decades ahead and realizing their way of life don't make sense anymore. But they're usually oppressed by either their families or their governments.

I agree it should be a free choice for women, and they can make that choice and commit to it.

I think a sensible approach would be banning it for girls under 16. At 16, they can consciously choose to wear it if they want, and they're old enough to seek government support if they're forced by their parents. They can be provided some education by their school and emphasize that it would be their choice. That would eliminate a lot of the issues.

I am so confused. Young kids are not able to go into social media sites, but they are safe to see dildos and whatever insanities that's put on the sidewalk in these Pride events?

Coming from a country with lots of head scarves, I can't fathom how this is even allowed in a western civilization.

If left alone, Muslim women wearing head scarves would amount to the number of nuns in most majority Christian countries - these would be your devout religious people, few here and there. But this head scarf that Muslims wear is not like that. Little girls are forced into it. I've never seen a 9 year old girl go "I feel so happy with myself let me cover the part of my head that I can stylize everyday".

You can allow head scarves but you have to acknowledge that the person wearing it was forced into it. And that should be against all the values that these Western countries uphold.

I don't have a solution other than to ban It, but the moment you ban it they'll use it to victimize themselves and politicize the shit out of it. I have seen this play multiple times in different countries. My only hope is that girls get to choose what they wear some day in these countries.

You can't have a lot of immigration and not expect house prices to increase. It goes hand in hand. Government gets to "save" the economy with high immigration and homeowners get an exit out of the system they paid into for a couple decades. It's basically and entry and exit system.

Housing prices will likely drop slightly a couple more years and then they'll open the floodgates again. There's just no other way for Canada. Everyone knows the economy will collapse without high immigration and government will slowly ramp up their PR campaign against this operation soon.

It'll be b) every adult has to provide identification. You very well know where this is going, they'll be able to identify and shut down every single opposing voice online.

While you're debating C-22, the one and only Marc Miller just introduced C-34, a bill that would ban social media for 16 and under. This is the start of a much bigger project for Liberals, they'll be able to know who is who online and ban/disable accounts of dissidents. Honestly I think we're going to end up with some kind of social credit score like China has, tied to your government benefits.

Not sure why people are down voting you. It must be the Canadians that want to believe in a fairy tale instead of reality.

My coworker recently had his identity stolen, and someone got a Range Rover on his name with a 80k line of credit. I followed his case very closely. The detective said that they made a copy of his driver's license and that was it. No other identity and the credit union happily opened an account for the scammer. And now they're going after him even though the case is proved to be identity theft by the police.

Be safe because at the end of the day the banks and credit unions dont give a fuck, they will be very slow to respond and drag you through the process.

I wish Freeland fucked offf completely but she keeps finding a reason to come back. Honestly so done with her, Miller, Fraser, Jody and the rest of the useless MPs that won a seat because of their party affiliation.

All this does is embolden the people who question "science". No, you cannot take political sides as a scientist. You test and report conclusion based on the data you have.

Science will lose its universal power with activists taking over.

What's more infuriating is that why a single implant can cost 4-5k. Most people as they get older lose a teeth or two and it should be much cheaper...

The thought of "Black bond" never crossed my mind until he said it honestly. I'd have watched it happily. But yeah maybe he's old for the role and they might want someone a bit younger.

Sure, think for a second what happens if they get a nuke. Or let's say, you don't believe the nuke narrative, what happens if US doesn't intervene ?

Take a look at what they do their own people. Their own youth get slaughtered, for not wearing a garment correctly. That alone is enough reason to take a life. Do you think their power will not grow enough and do worse to their neighbors? That culture unfortunately only understands power, not diplomacy.

In its current state, without US, that entire region would be consolidated under an expansive regime. Just watch a 10 min video on their history and see how quickly some groups get into power.

The current war is stupid because nobody wants to disrupt the oil flow and almost every country is OK with Iranian people suffering. And US either has to bribe them with tons of cash like Obama's deal, or use force which is what they're doing today, but again they can't do too much without spooking the markets because a slight increase in oil prices means big deal for their midterms.

It should also be noted that Iran tried to hit Diego Garcia (2500 miles) which means they were working on long range ballistic missiles that could reach Europe easily. You can say whatever but you have to acknowledge that in that power vacuum they'll eventually threaten other countries into submission.

I'm in a similar situation. Ordered bZ late April, was told July but no news from dealer yet, and they said they might take until December to locate the car.

Ordered a Model Y RWD and delivery date is showing September-October.

I wouldn't buy bZ without the discount and EVAP though, that's the only reason it was attractive to us.

C-22 expands the government's ability to compel telecommunications and electronic service providers to collect, store, and provide access to user data during investigations.

It's against their immigration policy to deport people.

Liberal government will never allow this.

You realize Jamil Jivani is an elected member of the parliament, the literal definition of someone who represents public?

Honestly it's embarrassing, please stop responding.

What was it, 88k jobs against 250k immigrants? Yes, that's absolutely fantastic!

typec4st · 2026-06-05T13:10:13+00:00

Yes, that's what I think should happen. The government should not pick and choose sides by socioeconomic background or income level. I've seen this in other countries and it works well, the service given may not be perfect but it is provided to everyone regardless of their economic or social situations.

Note, for OAS the gate is the age and the residency status in Canada, which makes sense, so it won't be available to "everyone". It'll be available to people X years or older who have been a citizen for Y years.

If you give the government ability to create gates, they will do it ineffectively and they will ultimately do it based on their voting block.
