In April of 2022, over 10,000 Canadians signed a House of Commons petition calling on the federal government to include nuclear energy within the Green Bond Framework. It was the second most popular economy and finance petition to go before the 44th Parliament. 

Green bonds are a vital tool being advanced to finance our clean energy transition. At present, the government’s Green Bond Framework explicitly excludes nuclear energy, lumping it alongside sin stocks like arms manufacturing, tobacco, alcohol and gambling.

Given the urgency of acting on climate change, it is imperative for this vital funding mechanism to include all proven decarbonization tools and nuclear energy in particular.

As you start planning your Thanksgiving feast, spare a thought for the millions of Canadians who are planning their meals around what foods they can’t buy, or how many meals to cut to make ends meet.

Almost six million people were food insecure last year in Canada. More than a third of them were in Ontario, where 16 per cent, or one in six households, struggle with food insecurity.

Is it going to get worse?

Pierre Poilievre brought his core leadership campaign themes to the floor of the House of Commons on Tuesday, using his first Question Period as Leader of the Official Opposition to criticize the Liberals on inflation and the fact that many Canadians can’t afford a place to live.

Anticipating that line of attack, the Liberals countered by introducing two pieces of legislation to implement the government’s recently announced $4.6-billion affordability plan. The package includes a doubling of the GST credit, a boost in rental supports and an interim dental care plan for uninsured parents with children under 12. The government says the programs are targeted at those most in need and will not contribute to inflation.

Inflation might be edging a bit lower, but it sure doesn’t feel like it at the grocery store.

Statistics Canada announced Tuesday morning that the Consumer Price Index rose by 7.0 per cent in August, compared to a year earlier. That’s down from 7.6 per cent in July, and lower than the 7.2 per cent most economists had expected. In June, inflation had jumped to a 39-year high of 8.1 per cent.
