On this day in 1944 Canadian forces landed on Juno Beach as a part of the D-Day invasion of Europe.

Canadian forces were the only Allied troops to reach several of their D-Day objectives that day, though at a heavy cost of more than 1,000 casualties.

Canada also made a major contribution at sea and in the air: the Royal Canadian Navy supported the landings with ships and sailors, and the Royal Canadian Air Force helped prepare the invasion and defend the skies over Normandy.

May their bravery and sacrifice never be forgotten.

Mark Carney visited a Brampton grocery store Friday to celebrate his government’s total failure on affordability.

The Prime Minister was there to promote the first payment of the new Groceries and Essentials Benefit program, essentially, the rejigged GST rebate.
Now, Carney’s supporters may say this is a victory, it is the government helping low income Canadians.

But in my view, when the government has to help its people buy their groceries, then there is a problem. Clearly the economy is not operating as it should if the government needs to send you money for essentials, which is what they are doing.
Although, not everyone is getting this help.

New rebate doesn’t lower food prices or costs for most

To get this help, you need to qualify for the GST rebate, which means an income of $56,181 or less for a single person with no children or $66,841 or less for a couple with two children. Essentially, you need to be living at or just above the poverty line to receive this payment.

About 45% of recipients are either between the ages of 19-24 or over the age of 65, despite these age groups only amounting to just over 25% of the Canadian population.

This is great for those people but that is not where most Canadian families live. The PM is trying to make it sound like he’s helping average families with the cost of groceries.

“We are laser focused on affordability for Canadians, for Canadian families, providing them with a boost today and a bridge to that better tomorrow,” Carney said at a photo-op to mark the new payments.

Average family not helped by this program

Meanwhile, average families continue to face out-of-control food prices. The basket of groceries that cost you $100 five years ago now costs you $130.

The rise for some individual items, as detailed in the latest inflation report is staggering. Tomatoes up 20.9% compared to a year earlier while coffee is up 15.5%, beef is up 12.5%, carrots are up 10.5%, and pork is up 9.4%.

An average family in Brampton that is dealing with these rising costs won’t be getting this help because they make too much money. The median household income in Brampton is over $110,000, or more than $40,000 above the cut-off, but they are still dealing with higher grocery costs.

“We’re building Canada strong for all,” Carney said.

I wish this were the case, but it’s not.

Only one country in the G20 is in a recession… only one.

Which one is it? Less market integration or more market integration with the United States?

Prime Minister, you cannot have both.

Canadian industries are suffering while you flip-flop.

This is NOT REAL leadership.

Despite their assurances that everything is fine their actions tell a different story.

International criminals are flocking to Canada like moths to a flame. Why? Lax justice system and lax immigration policies. Not to mention we will pay them money just to be here. It’s broken and no amount of tinkering will fix it. It need to be rebuilt by a government that will admit there is a problem.

Is the electorate tuned out or is the mainstream media just being selective on what they report?
