Replying to myself with This CTV News Article from April 2023:
Once a new portrait subject has been selected, the banknote design process begins, and the banknote is ready to be issued a few years later,” Ferron-Craig told CTVNews.ca in an email on April 12.
So we can probably expect a banknote featuring king Charles in the next year or so.
Loblaws labelled 35 per cent of all products online as Prepared in Canada.
...
"[Prepared in Canada] is not a really rigorous standard to meet," he said.
Unlike a Product of Canada, which means virtually all (98 per cent) of its major ingredients, processing and the labour used to make the food product must be Canadian, there is no similar threshold for items labelled as Prepared in Canada
Marketplace shared its findings with experts who say grocery stores are trying to capitalize on the country's wave of patriotism, noting that a vague definition of what makes a product Canadian is in the best interest of retailers, not shoppers.
Basically, it seems like we cannot trust the business to do anything in our best interest. We have to continue to do the work. Hopefully The CFIA will create a more rigorous standard for labelling in the near future.
In any mode but light mode the quoted text bar is nearly invisible which makes makes reading posts with quoted text a challenge.
I would love an option to change the color of the quoted text bar, or barring that, it would be nice if the default color of the bar were easier to see on dark mode.
Thanks!
Just so I'm clear, if/when Trump imposes tariffs on Canadian goods entering the US, Canada plans reciprocate with equal Teriffs on US goods entering Canada?
I/we know and understand that teriffs are basically an import tax, paid to the government by the companies which are bringing the product in, and generally that cost is passed down to consumers in the form of a higher price tag on goods.
Is the end goal here is to bolster our own economy by making US goods prohibitively expensive for Canadian citizens to buy, in turn making Canadians more likely to purchase Canadian goods (which is what we are trying to do anyway)?
What is stopping this from hurting out economy the same way it will likely hurt the US economy?
I feel like I need a stronger understanding of the situation.
A reverse image search brought me exact results from as early as 2013, which is long before A.I. was creating images like this. I agree that something looks off about the image, and it's definitely enhanced in some way, but I don't believe it to be A.I. generated.
