Their meat is priced _per package_ now, not per kilogram.
The photo above shows a 649 g tray (left) and a 733 g tray (right), both for $15.
So, if you're not careful, you're paying over 10% extra for chicken thighs!
This packaging change is hiding price inflation & gouging.

Canada is a middle power.

We must play China off the USA and eke out wins in between.

So now is the time to quit subsidizing American carmakers and bring cheaper and technologically better Chinese EVs here.

And Americas can have their shitty, expensive cars.
As auto companies retreat from Canada, do government subsidies still make sense?

Mark Carney is about to announce more of his “elbows up” major projects.

But under the surface, one that’s being sold as an Indigenous-led LNG project is actually — spoiler — American as hell.

That’s not even the worst part!

Using the notwithstanding clause to strip away human rights is an attack on democracy and must be fought with everything we've got. It started with the SaskParty's Bill-137 and now it's Alberta with Bill-2. This is rising authoritarianism (a la USA) and we need to call it out for what it is.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Words, words, words. Get busy repairing the relationship with China, buy the Gripen, fund scientists and doctors to come to Canada. So far the only real actions have been Carney and LeBlanc trying to suck up to Trump. Nothing but caving to Trump and businesses that don't want to pivot.

Remove the #tariffs on #China and make deals on parts and production of #Byd cars in #Canada. We have bailed out or subsidized the US auto companies for years anyway. We need to put Canada first and be cautious and wise about our trade deals. With #China there is logic with #tRump only chaos.

Yesterday, thousands of Albertans gathered at the Alberta Legislature to support our teachers.

Today, the UCP government locked them out.

Teachers aren’t just standing up for themselves. They’re standing up for our kids. Their working conditions are our children’s learning conditions.
