@FoodProfessor You don't see it, because there is none. More smoke and mirrors that will do nothing to move Canada forward in any meaningful way.

@FoodProfessor The only losers are the taxpayer time and time again.

"The idea of creating a wealth fund for Canada was largely dismissed in the media, mainly because it would allow Ottawa to pick winners and losers in the economy through a Crown corporation—and we know how politically influenced those can become. For the agri-food sector, I don’t see any real upside to this fund."

I’ll have some exciting news to share this week.
As many of you now know, after 25 years of writing for La Presse—entirely on a volunteer basis—the newspaper decided to “pause” our relationship last month following comments I made about how government tax credits may be fostering editorial bias in parts of the media landscape, often favouring the governing Liberals.
Just agreed to write for a new outlet, with my first piece coming out this Wednesday. More details to come—stay tuned.

On #WorldPressFreedomDay, we recognise the fundamental role of a free press in strengthening our democracy. At all hours and on every front, they define and defend our values. Canada will always stand for a free and independent media, and for the values that protect it.

@JdeMontreal @FoodProfessor J'ai vraiment rien contre elle, mais c'est un bon indicateur de l'appauvrissement de la population.

"What’s happening in Canada is quite remarkable. Just over half of Canadians say they haven’t changed their meat consumption habits, mostly due to costs. Many consumers have reduced their meat intake or are actively exploring alternatives like vegetable proteins."

"To hear our Prime Minister, Mark Carney, describe our relationship with the United States as a weakness is deeply concerning. It's simply a poor choice of words. The largest economy in the history of the world sits just south of us—it cannot be ignored. I’m at a major food innovation show here in Montreal, and Americans are here to do business in Canada, just as Canadian companies are eager to do the same, despite the senseless political rhetoric."

@FoodProfessor It's not just the less fortunate shopping for discounted food. The middle class (hate the term) are also. You see people walk through supermarkets looking to see what's on sale & leave without buying, myself included. You don't see overflowing carts, with the exception of Costco.
