Canadaโs Conservatives canโt quit their grocery price politicking
Climate change is obviously driving up the cost of food. Why canโt Canadaโs Conservatives admit it?
Climate change is a far bigger contributor to food price inflation than federal climate policies in Canada. At some point, even the most blinkered Conservative partisan is going to have to face up to this politically inconvenient truth, @maxfawcett.bsky.social writes.

Wildfires are a reality for people in Northeast BC.
Yet with their endurance & the work of the BC Wildfire Service, they always bounce back. Now leaders in wildfire innovation, clean energy.
Taking a moment at the BCWS Base to discuss some of the wisdom Iโve learned from them.

During wildfire season, we must ensure our livestock is protected too.
Farmers and ranchers are encouraged to register the location of their livestock, through the Premises ID program. Just one way we can keep animals out of harmโs way.

CBC News post reads:
April 17, 2025
On April 16, during a live broadcast following the French-language federal election leaders' debate on CBC News Network, chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton, said "Yes, there have been remains of Indigenous children found in various places across the country ...
" As CBC
News has reported on multiple occasions, what several Indigenous communities across Canada have discovered on the sites of some former
residential schools are potential burial sites or unmarked graves.
CW: residential schools
CBC News issued a correction for a correct statement.
There have been remains found.
A fragment of a childโs jawbonewas found at a site in Saskatchewan. The remains of aย child under five were found at a former school near Edmonton.
What Rosie Barton said was correct.
