Looks like we're following the UK and preparing to ban crypto donations.

Overall a good move.

The project had too many bugs in it, and the costs have been hived off on the taxpayer ...

Ottawa's big bet on world's largest cricket farm ran into a simple problem: the 'yuck factor'​

Almost a year later, questions remain over how much public money was recovered​

The business of insect farming was supposed to grow big and fast.

In London, Ont., that promise took shape in Aspire Food Group Canada. Billed as the world's largest cricket farm, it was a 150,000-square-foot, fully automated facility designed to house billions of insects and produce millions of kilograms of protein each year.

Crickets are touted as a low-carbon protein source, requiring less farmland than traditional livestock and offering the potential to address world food insecurity.

Affordability is the best it has been in over a decade - Mark Carney

Cost of living hitting food banks in Canada so hard that visits are limited to once a month

Food banks across the country are being forced to scale back services at a time when Canadians need them the most, due to limited supplies.

Regarding OAS - Gov Can has a new calculator out for it. I ran 3 scenarios across two different programs. Family Net incomes 75k, 100k, and 150k, family of 4 with 5 and 2 yo for CCB vs. retired 69 year old couple for OAS, equal income split in both cases

At 75k
Family gets est. $11,440
Retirees get est. $17,850

At 100k
Family gets est. $9314
Retirees get est. $17,850

At 150k
Family gets est. $ 0
Retirees get est. $17,850


I very much believe in the intent of both programs- but that shit is broken.
