Grocery shoplifting mounting across Canada amid inflation, labour shortages
Shoplifting has surged to an alarming level across Canada, industry insiders say, with inflation and labour shortages cited as major factors behind the increase.
The uptick has triggered concern among Canadian grocers even as the rise in food prices helps pad their bottom lines. Grocery prices were up 11 per cent year-over-year in October and they’re not expected to ease any time soon. The total cost of groceries for a family of four is expected to be $1,065 more than it was this year, according to the most recent edition of Canada’s Food Price Report.
Inflation in food prices is one of the main drivers pushing more people to steal, says Sylvain Charlebois, senior director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University in Halifax.

Young doctors look for professional opportunities outside of Canada and complain about poor medical training resources
Medical students and new doctors in Canada are struggling to find opportunities in their field to help fill the much-needed gap in the country's health-care system.
According to Dr. Desmond Leddin, a professor of medicine at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada needs to widen the process in accepting new students into medical school as the nation continues to struggle with a shortage of nurses and doctors as hospitals become overwhelmed with a “triple epidemic” of the flu, RSV and COVID-19.
According to the Canadian Institution for Health Information, there were 93,998 physicians that were working in Canada for 2021, a slight increase of two per cent in comparison to 2020 when 92,166 physicians were reported. This represents roughly 246 physicians per population of 100,000.
At the same time, the government strongly believes that introducing thousands of migrants into the healthcare system would handle the problem. Though if the country is not able to appropriately educate the doctors it has, I suspect the situation would even grow worse when it is necessary to educate more specialists?

Six dead, including 73-year old gunman, in Ontario shooting
A gunman opened fire and killed five people at a Toronto-area condo building on Sunday evening before he himself was shot by police, the regional force’s chief said.
Jim MacSween, head of the York Regional Police Force, said officers were called to what he described as an active shooting at around 7:20 p.m. In a separate news release, York Police said early reports suggested a man had shot multiple people.
MacSween confirmed there were a total of five victims, but provided no details as to their identities or ages as family members were still being notified.

Canada funded a suicide 'activity book' for children
Just as Ottawa publicly acknowledges that its assisted suicide regime might have gone too far, critics have highlighted the existence of a little-known medical assistance in dying (MAID) children’s activity book that was funded by the Canadian government.
The book is not intended for children who are themselves seeking assisted death, and it’s not subject to mass-distribution through schools or public libraries. Minors are ineligible for medically assisted death in Canada, although there has been a push by the Quebec College of Physicians to extend the practice to severely disabled newborns.
Rather, the activity book is intended for children who may soon be attending a medically assisted death in person. “Created for young people who have someone in their life who may have MAID,” the group declared in a statement.

Since Jan. 1, foreign investors won’t be allowed to buy property in Canada
As of Jan. 1, 2023, foreign investors will be banned by the Canadian government from purchasing non-recreational residential property. The federal government announced the full details for new regulations that have been finalized as part of the Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act, which was passed on June 23 and will be in place for two years before being automatically repealed.
Ahmed Hussen, minister of housing and diversity and inclusion, said that the government’s goal is to ensure the housing market remains available and affordable to Canadians, and prevent houses from being used “as financial assets for foreign investors.”

Canada posts C$174 mln deficit over first seven months of 2022-2023
Canada recorded a C$174 million ($127.91 million) budget deficit for the first seven months of the 2022/23 fiscal year, partly due to higher debt charges. By comparison, Canada posted a C$72.25 billion deficit in the period from April to October 2021.
Year-to-date revenues were up 17.6% on a broad-based improvement in income streams. Program expenses were down 15.6%, largely reflecting lower transfers to individuals and businesses as COVID-19 support wound down, the finance ministry said.
Public debt charges increased 35.7% this fiscal year, primarily driven by higher interest rates and higher inflation adjustments on real return bonds, which have a coupon that is linked to the level of the consumer price index.

Storm in North America causes power outages and flight delays
Dangerously cold temperatures settled over a wide swath of the U.S. and Canada; a massive winter storm left millions without power or facing rolling blackouts. Utility companies from Texas to New York City urge customers to conserve power to protect supply.
Thousands of flights were canceled or delayed at the weekend, and road travel is an unsafe option right now.

Thousands remain without power in Quebec and Ontario following winter storms
As of Dec. 27, about 46-thousand Hydro-Quebec and Hydro One customers were without power in Quebec and Ontario.
Hydro company officials say some customers still remain without electricity, days after fierce winter storms knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of Canadians right before Christmas.
While the outage numbers have dropped significantly, tens of thousands of people are still in the dark as crews continue working to repair lines brought down by strong winds and fallen trees, complicated by heavy snow hindering access to some sites.

Toronto mayor vows to push for bigger police budget in new year
Toronto Mayor John Tory says he will push to increase the city's police budget, saying inflation and a "fraying at the edges" of community safety make the move necessary.
The mayor would not give specifics about the ask which will come to city council next month when budget deliberations begin in earnest. But after constraining the police budget when he was first elected in 2014, he believes it's now time to grow the services' $1.1- billion annual spending package.

About 11,000 Hydro-Quebec customers still without power one week after winter storm
Hydro-Québec says more than 10,700 customers are still without power a week after a major winter storm knocked out transmission lines across the province.
The utility says the power is still out for more than 3,300 customers in the Quebec City area, about 2,800 clients in the Laurentians region, and for roughly 1,200 customers in the Outaouais region.
An auditor general's report in December found that Hydro-Québec's service has become less reliable and that the provincial Crown corporation isn't fully equipped to handle the challenges associated with an aging grid.

Two teens charged in armed carjacking near York University
On Dec. 15, the Toronto Police Service (TPS) said, its officers responded to reports of a theft in the area of Hullmar Drive and Jane Street, just west of York University.
The victim, a food delivery driver, had parked his car to make a delivery, and as he got out of his car, police say he was approached by four boys wearing masks. One of them allegedly took out a handgun and demanded the victim give them his keys and wallet. Then, the group allegedly took his keys and drove off in the victim’s vehicle.
The following day, on Dec. 16, Peel police officers found the victim’s stolen vehicle with two boys inside of it, and brought them into custody for investigation.
TPS’ Hold Up Squad carried out the investigation, and determined they were connected to the original carjacking robbery.
On Thursday, Dec. 29, TPS’ Hold Up Squad and its Emergency Task Force executed two search warrants in connection with the investigation. During these searches, two boys were found and placed under arrest, as police say some items of “evidentiary value” were located.
A 17-year-old boy from Oakville and a 15-year-old boy from Brampton were arrested and given various charges, including robbery with a firearm, disguise with intent, and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence. The 17-year-old was also charged with fail to comply release order.
Both appeared in court for a bail hearing on Thursday at 10 a.m. Due to the Youth Criminal Justice Act, the identities of the two teenage suspects cannot be shared. TPS is still looking for the other two boys, who remain to be unidentified. Police say they are considered to be armed and dangerous.

Anti-woke Canadian rapper tops music charts with his controversial message
Rapper Tom MacDonald, who grew up in Alberta and British Columbia, is known for his anti-woke, anti-government stance — and has amassed a right-wing fanbase for his lyrics — is rising to the top of mainstream music charts.
He was called “one of the most talked about new artists in hip-hop, with one of the most divisive personas the genre has ever seen,” in an Inked Magazine article.
In one of his songs, Snowflakes, he muses: “If you lie to the government, they’ll put you in prison, but when they lie to all of us, it’s called being a politician. You think taking guns away will save our kids from the killings, but your pro-choice abortion kills way more children.”
And MacDonald’s popularity is continuing to rise. His latest song Ghost was the number one most downloaded song in Apple iTunes music store on Thursday.
