We acknowledge that the community was shocked by the phrase, and the burning of the Canadian flag that came after the march was concluded. Yet, we at Samidoun stand by this phrase as the call to action that it is.

🚶♂️Liberal MPs will present official demand for Trudeau to resign in coming days, sources say
Earlier rumblings among some Liberal MPs that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should resign appear to be quickly snowballing into a serious effort to force him out, with caucus members expected to present within days an official demand that he step down.
Three Liberal MPs said they anticipate the demand to be presented in two steps: first, in writing as soon as this weekend, laying out the fact that constituents are telling MPs that Mr. Trudeau needs to go; and second, in an open microphone session at the party’s next caucus meeting in Ottawa, on Wednesday.
Unlike past talk of a caucus revolt, which gained no momentum, many Liberals say they believe that this time is different and that since Friday it has become clear that the Prime Minister has a problem on his hands.
Saving the sinking ship by any means necessary.

Poilievre demands names after Trudeau claims Conservatives compromised by foreign interference
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says several current and former Conservative parliamentarians are either engaged in or targets of foreign interference as he lambasted the federal Conservative leader for refusing to get top-level security clearance.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre accuses Trudeau of “lying” and calls on him to release the unreleased names of parliamentarians alleged by a review committee to have wittingly or unwittingly acted on behalf of a foreign country.
In his testimony, Trudeau said he directed the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) to inform the Conservative party of the intelligence backing the foreign interference claim. But since Poilievre doesn’t have top-secret clearance, Trudeau said that “no one” in the party knows about the intelligence.

📊Nearly two-thirds of Canadians feel immigration levels too high: poll
Nearly two-thirds of Canadians believe there are “too many” immigrants currently in the country, according to a new national poll.
The survey, conducted by Leger for the Association of Canadians Studies (ACS), suggests an emerging national consensus on the matter. While slightly over a fifth of respondents felt Canada’s immigration levels were “about the right number,” just two per cent thought the country allowed in “too few” people and 65 per cent said there are too many.
Don't actually need a poll to know that.

🐄Billions of litres of Canadian milk were discarded in the last 12 years
"Systemic inefficiencies" in Canada’s supply management system have led to billions of litres of milk going to waste since 2012, according to a new study published in the journal Ecological Economics.
Between 6.8 billion and 10 billion litres of milk was discarded on Canadian dairy farms over 12 years, according to researchers based in Denmark, Michigan and Halifax's Dalhousie University. They found that the amount of tossed milk made up about seven per cent of milk produced on dairy farms over that time, and was valued at up to $14.9 billion.

Tobacco giants to pay $32.5B to Canadian provinces, smokers in 'historic' proposed deal
Three major tobacco companies are set to pay close to $25 billion to Canadian provinces and territories, and over $4 billion to Quebec smokers and their families, as part of a proposed deal stemming from a long-standing legal battle. The plan was filed in an Ontario court after five years of mediation.
The companies—JTI-Macdonald Corp., Rothmans, Benson & Hedges, and Imperial Tobacco Canada—entered creditor protection in 2019 after losing an appeal in a Quebec court case.
Under the new arrangement, provinces and territories will receive phased payments, with $6 billion paid upon implementation. Quebec plaintiffs could receive up to $100,000 each, while smokers in other provinces with lung or throat cancer or COPD diagnosed between 2015 and 2019 could claim up to $60,000.

Committee reviewing euthanasia in Canada finds some deaths driven by homelessness fears, isolation
An expert committee reviewing euthanasia deaths in Canada’s most populous province has identified several cases where patients asked to be killed in part for social reasons such as isolation and fears of homelessness, raising concerns over approvals for vulnerable people in the country’s assisted dying system.
Ontario’s chief coroner issued several reports Wednesday reviewing the euthanasia deaths of people who weren’t terminally ill. The expert committee’s reports are based on an analysis of anonymized cases, chosen for their implications for future euthanasia requests.

As of Sunday afternoon, the agency showed the B.C. NDP leading in 46 ridings, the B.C. Conservatives in 45, and the B.C. Greens in two, leaving all parties short of the 47 seats required for a majority.

💰Replacing Canada's crumbling water, road infrastructure would cost more than $300B: Statistics Canada
On Monday, the national statistics agency released the results of a 2022 survey of government agencies responsible for public infrastructure. Statistics Canada estimates that it would take $356.7 billion to replace road or water systems the survey says are in "poor" or "very poor" condition.
That cost estimate has jumped by more than $100 billion since 2020, the first year the survey was conducted.
The agency defines "very poor" items of infrastructure as those posing a public health or safety hazard and needing immediate replacement of "most or all of the asset."
