Canadian women in Parliament show stagnation not parity
A political analysis notes that in the recent federal election 103 women were elected to the House, about one third of MPs, with Liberal seats rising to 40 percent.

The author argues Canada’s stance against Trumpism boosts human rights leadership despite slow progress.

Canadians shift to flexible eating amid price and taste tradeoffs
Dalhousie’s Agri-Food Analytics Lab analysis of the Canadian Food Sentiment Index shows omnivores falling from 67.6 to 60.8 percent between fall 2024 and spring 2025, while vegetarians and vegans decline or barely rise. Flexitarians and the Other category grow, signaling diversification over ideological shifts, with Beyond Meat and Aspire Food Group illustrating market misalignment between ideals and consumer reality. Hybrid, price- and taste-driven alternatives emerge as the likeliest path for sustainable growth in Canada’s protein market.
