How is he or was this an issue of the Liberals? Sorry I am confused because my history shwos *checks notes* that the Mulroney CONSERVATIVES held a majority in 1987 In a statement, Rideau Hall said it regretted the award given to Peter Savaryn in 1987. Savaryn was Chancellor of the University of Alberta and President of the Progressive Conservative Party of Alberta in the 1980s. He also served with the Waffen SS, a voluntary Nazi unit in Ukraine during the Second World War. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After finding out that the company in charge was pork barrelling the money something is being done immediately. Smart move Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne released the third-party investigators’ final report on the agency, Sustainable Development Technology Canada, late Tuesday, following a series of questions to the ministry from The Globe and Mail. He laid out a series of corrective actions SDTC’s board must Mr. Champagne said in a statement that he takes the findings seriously. He issued a number of directives, including that SDTC temporarily halt funding of all new projects until corrective measures are taken by its board. He directed SDTC to ensure there is a clear, consistent and transparent process for declaring real or perceived conflicts of interest. The board must make sure that all projects receive the same level of due diligence, and invite a ministry official to all meetings of directors and SDTC’s project review committee. The directives must be completed by Dec. 31, the minister said. The ministry launched the investigation in April. It, the federal Auditor-General and the Privy Council Office had all received whistleblower complaints about SDTC last year. Some of the complaints alleged SDTC had made grants to startups and technology accelerators with ties to its own senior management, or to companies or technology accelerators that were ineligible because they were too established. The complainants also alleged a volatile workplace under Ms. Lawrence, marked by high staff turnover rates and stress-related leaves. undertake to deal with contraventions of its contribution agreement with the government, a number of which are highlighted in the report. The agreement guides how SDTC distributes public money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of it has to do with being afraid if sentencing guidelines are more strict then proportional representation in jails wont improve.. but idk the true reason.

Warhippy Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 The 5 major grocers in Canada. That own literally everything related to food distribution in our nation. They have raked in profits never seen in the grocery sector over the past 2.5 years and now all of a sudden have the ability to price math, offer deeper discounts and in fact lower prices. But the entire time they said it was out of their control. We need more competition in this nation and to stop pretending like we aren't owned by a small handful of corporations in every sector The five largest grocery chains have delivered plans to stabilize food prices to the federal government, Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne said Thursday. Champagne met with the heads of Loblaw, Sobeys, Metro, Costco and Walmart in Ottawa last month. The minister told them the government wanted to see their plans to stabilize prices by Thanksgiving. The grocery chains are promising more discounts, price freezes and price-matching campaigns, Champagne said Thursday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m tired of this baseless dramatization. Throwing strong words like Fascism around like it’s no big deal. you’re a troll that will never be called out cause you’re a liberal. Go for a nap Boomer, when you wake up, try posting some substance. Show me results. show me a plan. If the liberals continue on this trajectory, we won’t have money to pay for social programs. The paradigm shift will be significant and this collapse will be tied to the liberal party for generations to come. If I were a liberal I’d be praying for a government change in the next 24 months, at least this way, the blame for the collapse can be spread out. If this doesn’t happen there will be a huge shift right when the dust settles after this generational housing collapse. Stop talking about stupid crap like Fascism in fricken Canada FFS and start thinking about the issues that really matter. Nobody is coming for the kid that identifies as a moth. It's absolutely pathetic what the left wing has become, calling everyone Nazis. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked at the American politics thread. It's all about a guy who hasn't been president since 2020. I don't see you telling anybody in there, they're talking about the former president too much. He's history (JT) unless Pee-pee puts his foot in his mouth. All Pee-Pee has to do is smile and keep his mouth shut, and its 'in the bag' (all he has to do is let JT do the work for him). Course, that was the case of each of the past several Con candidates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with big retailers during high inflation periods is showing growth to their investors. Inflation will lower overall sales. Lower sales means lower revenue. What ends up happening is they increase the prices of the products that don’t see a drastic drop in volume (necessities) it increases revenue on lower overall volume. This is why we see inconsistent inflation on things like meat and eggs, milk. The government is going to have to figure out how to somehow cut a deal with the big corporations. They don’t give a crap about anything but growth for shareholder sentiment. This is also treating a symptom over a disease.

I do think the government making threats towards them is maybe the only card they had to play at the moment, but in reality it's a losing hand. The threat of increasing taxes on them so all they will do is turn around and raise the prices on the consumers. The vast majority of Canadians cannot afford to go back to the mom and pop grocery stores as much as I would support that and love that. It's just far too expensive shopping at mom and pop shops. Sadly big corporations control all of us in one form or another Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
