CETA has one foot in the grave

The Brexit vote may have derailed Canada’s best chance to embrace its status as a trading nation

By Sylvain Charlebois July 12, 2016

CETA is not dead, but it’s close. Since the Brexit vote, Europe is a mess. The pound is dropping, markets are scrambling, and most are wondering how the political establishment will address what appears to be a constitutional vacuum related to exiting member-states. It just speaks to how ill prepared the union was to such

By Getty Stewart July 1, 2016

Herbs are like icing on a cake, they take food from ordinary to extraordinary by adding flavour, colour, texture, aroma and even nutrients and antioxidants. With their variety of shapes, blossoms and foliage, they also add interest and colour to gardens. And, when planted strategically, they’re effective at attracting beneficial insects such as bees, butterflies

Does watching cooking shows promote weight gain?

Prairie Fare: Snap Bean Provencal

By Julie Garden-Robinson June 27, 2016

“I am gaining weight just watching this show. These cooking shows must fuel the obesity issue,” my husband commented. We were walking on treadmills side by side at a gym. We had our TVs tuned to the same cooking show. He probably noticed me shaking my head as I watched the show. I tend to

Gate to Plate: Cheeseburger Macaroni Casserole

By Julie Garden-Robinson June 17, 2016

The other day, I walked out the front door of my home and was dive-bombed by a robin. I felt her wings graze my head. I squealed and ran down the sidewalk. A person walking down the sidewalk looked at me with curiosity. My daughter had warned me that we had an “angry bird” in

Labelling helps consumers make healthy choices… or does it?

Sometimes labels actually cause consumers to make false assumptions about the foods they’re consuming

By Robert Giblin June 17, 2016

Food labelling can give helpful information to consumers looking to make healthy choices. But as more food labels pop up, consumers can too easily associate a specific label with certain health outcomes, overestimating the value and risk a label implies.

When it comes to food, irradiation just does not sound all that appetizing. Visions of X-ray machines and the atomic bomb quickly come to mind and associating these images with food may not be compelling.

Think food prices are high? Get ready for higher

Growing demand for 'organic' or 'natural' products will only increase the cost of food further, and reduce farm productivity

By Terry Daynard June 6, 2016

Food prices are up four per cent over last year in Canada — mainly because of the cheap loonie and more expensive imports. This has come as a shock to Canadians used to spending an ever-declining share of income on food. Worse yet, further increases likely await — and for a very different, more permanent

Social licence – where do I buy one?

More consumers are becoming concerned about the origins of their stuff

By Cam Dahl June 6, 2016

I saw a cartoon recently that showed an oil company executive at the Department of Motor Vehicles asking if this was the place to buy a social licence. If only it actually worked that way.
