Our Sobeys pulled the Canadian content tags off the shelves. When I complained the manager told me that it comes from head office.
Where do you shop? Do they still mark Canadian content?

We shop at Sobeys. They no longer indicate which products are Canadian. They took the Canadian content markings down. When asked they said that they are NOT coming back.
Does your local store still indicate which products are Canadian?

Also the necessary precondition of Vienna's social housing build-out in the 1920s was a combination of hyperinflation and draconian rent controls destroying the market value of the rental stock, allowing the city to buy up the first generation of affordable housing for cheap.
Vienna started social housing 100 years ago; then they deported or murdered 10% of their population; then they had no immigration for 50 years.
It’s not such a happy story, nor a useful one for North America

Excellent interview.
Worth your time.
But it's not publicized.
And Carney is running in Canada. Was there no Canadian capable of this?
Fire the Liberal coms team.
They wasted an hour of precious time. No publicity??!
