May 7, 20232 yr comment_629456 Turns out the largest landowner in Canada is former Winnipegger Robert Andjelic, who owns aprox. 225,000 acres of farmland spread all over Saskatchewan. Previously Andjelic was one of Wpg's largest industrial builders & developers, until he sold those assets in 2007 and started purchasing farmland with the proceeds. https://pulpitandpolitics.com/2022/09/17/saskatchewan-farmland-new-serfdom/

Bizarre.

May 10, 20232 yr comment_629771 https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-new-passport-more-nature-fewer-history-1.6838308 Quote Canada's passport is getting a makeover with a new design that will feature more natural landscapes and wildlife and fewer Canadian historical moments and monuments. Speaking at a news conference on Wednesday, Minister of Families, Children and Social Development Karina Gould and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Minister Sean Fraser said the new design is the product of 10 years of consultation. "We tried to take the feedback about what represents Canada," Fraser said. "One of the things that I heard was we want to celebrate our diversity and inclusion, we want to celebrate our natural environment ... and [we] tried to bake those elements into the design." Fraser said a complete change in theme was important to improve the passport's security. "It makes it much harder to counterfeit," Fraser said. "It does make it easier when you maintain the same images for a significant period of time for counterfeiters to abuse the document and to produce fakes."

June 1, 20232 yr comment_632692 https://biv.com/article/2023/05/canada-border-services-agency-wins-media-code-silence-award Quote Canada's 2022 Code of Silence Award for Outstanding Achievement in Government Secrecy has been awarded to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). The 'accolade' stems from its failure to disclose basic information about how the controversy-laden ArriveCAN app's cost to taxpayers doubled from original public cost estimates, according to a news release. The government pushed the app heavily for travellers going to and from Canada as a way to save time at border crossings. It was rolled out April 29, 2020 as part of federal efforts to limit the spread of COVID-19. The Code of Silence Awards are presented annually by the Canadian Association of Journalists (CAJ), the Centre for Free Expression (CFE) at Toronto Metropolitan and Canadian Journalists for Free Expression. The CAJ said a Globe and Mail analysis found the pandemic-era public health app cost taxpayers $54 million. "After spending at least 10 times what it should have for the ArriveCAN app, CBSA provided Canadian media with misinformation about how that happened," said CFE director James L. Turk in a statement. Beyond the price tag, the groups said there was a lack of transparency and conflicting responses around the awarding of government contracts related to the app. “During the summer of 2022, the CBSA told media outlets there were a total of five companies that had received contracts related to the app,” the CAJ said. “That number skyrocketed to a total of 27 contracts involving 23 unique companies, in documents the agency later submitted to Parliament.”
