Our justice system doesn’t hand out justice.

CBC’s Marketplace has delivered another hack job on food inflation. In my view, it is one of the worst shows on television right now. This week’s segment featured two economists whose opinions fit the program’s narrative, without presenting the data, peer-reviewed research or modelling needed to substantiate their claims.
Years ago, when I was pre-interviewed for the show, I felt they were fishing for one or two specific sound bites to convince Canadians that ALL businesses are greedy and utterly unethical. A balanced discussion did not seem to be the objective. This week’s coverage left me with the same impression.
Expert commentary should be challenged and supported by evidence, especially on a taxpayer-funded program. Instead, CBC's Marketplace too often presents opinions as conclusions and leaves viewers with an incomplete understanding of complex issues.
I no longer respond to their interview requests. Canadians deserve rigorous journalism, transparent evidence and a fair discussion.
I find this kind of coverage disgusting.
Is there a worse customer service that @amazonca I would have guessed Rogers or Bell or maybe Air Canada. I'm 2 hours in on my 5 associate. Sign in, sign out, de-register, re-register, then new person and let's go again. It's not just bad, it's stupid.

I try not to swear too much on this app but this is fucking disgusting.
On the third anniversary of October 7, students at @UofT will hold a vigil, not for the innocent Israelis raped, murdered, and kidnapped that day, but for the animals who carried out those attacks. What's happened to this once great country is appalling.
How does this get so many likes? Conservatives don't protest.
Man oh man, Conservative Canadians are awful. They are planning a protest of the Canada Investment Summit.
They bitch for ten years that Canada should build industry and become rich, but when it is the Liberals actually getting it done, they throw a huge tantrum.

The protests against the Canada Investment Summit are organized by labour unions, Indigenous leaders, climate and housing advocates. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article… ctvnews.ca/toronto/articl…
Everyone needs to read this. Pierre is bang on.
Mark Carney could not be more out of touch.
With Canadians missing meals and mortgage payments, and days before he addresses the European Parliament (instead of the Canadian Parliament) we learn in a foreign newspaper of secret talks to make Canada an "Associate Member" of the European Union.
This is not about diversifying trade: we have had tariff-free trade with Europe for over a decade. They would buy more of our goods today if the Liberal government would get out of the way and permit mines, pipelines, LNG plants to produce and ship them.
Canadians deserve answers: Is the WSJ report true about associate membership in the EU?
If so, will European border policies apply in Canada, further overwhelming our immigration system while our youth can’t find homes?
Will Canadian waitresses struggling with rent have to pay tax dollars to the bloated EU bureaucracy?
Will Canadian small businesses be buried under the red tape of Eurocrats that have never met a Canadian entrepreneur?
All questions I’d ask in Parliament, but it is shuttered.
And one more: who decides for Canada?
The Welland welder did not elect a Eurocrat to regulate our steel. The Saskatchewan farmer and the Atlantic fisherman did not choose a Brussels agrifood regulator that has never even seen our prairies or coasts.
We will NEVER be the 51st U.S. state. And we will NEVER be the 28th EU state.
We are Canadians. This is our home, our freedom, our sovereignty, our people.
Now and forever.
Great news, but it's not a regulatory overhaul that's needed. At least its an admission by the Liberals that Trudeau policies were awful and hopefully more to come.
For the 🤓: great news this morning as the government is removing certain projects like oil sands facilities and natural gas generation from federal IAA assessment, leaving it up to provincial jurisdiction.
Many people call for “repeal of C-69”, or Impact Assessment Act. That is rarely the request of industry associations, because you have to have federal environmental impact legislation and starting from scratch would introduce tons of uncertainty and disruption. The preference has been to have a much narrower scope of what projects the federal government says it will assess. Today they made moves to streamline exactly that.
It does not mean these projects will not have environmental assessment - it means the IAA will not DUPLICATE some types of projects the provincial governments or the Canadian Energy Regulator (pipelines and transmission) are already assessing! “One project, one review”.
Franky I’m delighted.

One of the main reasons Canada has such poor productivity growth is Capital Shallowing (i.e. less CAPEX per person). This is due in part to years of asinine industrial policy centred around anti-oil.
In Q2 it rose again. This is good.

Canada's real GDP per capita remains below its previous peak. This is the longest period of stagnation in 50 years.

Release the deal, @MarkJCarney.
Canadians have every right to know exactly what was on the table, and why you chose to walk away from our largest trading partner.
No more secrecy. No more spin. No more hiding behind closed doors.
Release the deal.

CPC MP Majumdar: Carney is a one-man band on this trade deal. Hasn't consulted with Parliament. Was caught with his hand in the cookie jar when he walked back counter-tariff measures and wasn't upfront about what he got for it.
This is everything wrong with Canada and why Canada can't keep up with the USA. Can't we fix anything? Always more government handouts.
We’re lowering the cost of moving Canadian steel so we can get more of it onto job sites across the country — and strengthen our supply chains here at home.
ALT Screenshot of an article from the Toronto Star. The headline reads: Ottawa to rebate $100M in freight costs for shipping steel across Canada.
You have to go out of your way to be offended by a post about someone else working out.
Another fucking battery plant! Not only are they pouring more money in batteries, they announcing it like they have some kind of history of success. If you clicked like on the OP you’re an idiot.
More manufacturing in Canada means more good jobs for Canadians.
We’re backing Volta Energy Solutions’ EV battery manufacturing project in Granby, Québec. That means 260 good jobs for the people of the Eastern Townships and a stronger battery supply chain here in Canada.

Totally agree. However last week calling for the end of supply management was MAGA. Am I Canadian again?
It's past time for the Conservative Party of Canada to end slavish devotion to the supply management cartel.
It violates our free market principles, inflates food prices for struggling families, and undermines our global trade interests which impairs other, much larger sectors of Canadian agriculture.
All of this to appeal to 9000 quota farmers, half of whom are in Quebec.
And this👇is what the pandering has gotten the @CPC_HQ: the dairy lobby wedded to the Liberals.
Enough already.
Australia and New Zealand have shown the way. Both ended their supply management systems, and saw the sector thrive and grow as a result.
Of course, Canada should not do this unilaterally given pressure from the US. As @jengerson has argued, phasing out supply management to benefit Canadians wouldn't require dropping tariffs / quotas on US dairy exports, without reciprocal trade concessions from the US. (As I've noted before, US ag protectionism and subsidies are much broader than Canadian supply management.)
Regardless, Conservatives should be true to our principles by reverting to the Reform Party era policy of free market farming.
Politically, that would mean championing the interests of 40 million consumers over those of 9000 supply management operators.
If you look at this and think SFH will be scarce and their value will go up you might be right. However builders also know this and they aren’t rushing to build anything. Maybe more pain is coming. Remember Canadians, you voted for this.
