He called a snap election, timed perfectly to coincide with a Canada Post strike, breaking his previous election promise of fixed election dates.
With 22.5% support, he's seizing unprecedented authoritarian powers, including the dictatorship of Halifax.

... they may apply the co-insurance penalty in the event of a loss if it is determined to be underinsured.

This really came to the forefront after the fires in Kelowna a few years ago when it was determined that over 75% of the losses were underinsured.

So the "good old days" were pretty hard on kids. In the 1800s about 1 in 3 children died before age 5, mostly from infections, many vaccine preventable.
Here is an example of a families' keepsake memory.
Postmortem daguerrotypes of kids were NOT rare.
Vaccines prevent this.

In the 1800s-early 1900s, schools and institutions were opened for "Deaf, Dumb, and Blind" (then termed) kids. Measles was a big cause of acquired hearing loss- post encephalitis or ear infection.
Bacterial meningitis was another big cause (also vaccine preventable).

But... it's just a kid rash illness ?!?
Yes - and no.
About 996/1000 healthy kids fully recover after illness, with 1-3 dying, 1 with encephalitis, AND 100-200 would have complications of bacterial pneumonia or ear infection. There are still >100,000 measles deaths annually.

IMO, food inflation is due to Sobeys, Loblaws, Metro, organizational structures which are too clumsey to control costs, which is possible, so instead, take lazy actions of preditating competition, price fixing and increasing prices because we tolerate lax corporate punishment for breaking the law.

All this started a year ago with a @halifaxexaminer.ca investigation and article explaining why some Dollarama store could not sell bread. Seriously. All because of a subscriber question.

Now a Canada wide Competition Bureau investigation
