Food, while essential to our well-being, rarely sits at the heart of federal policy-making. That s slowly starting to change.
Federal Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau announced Friday the creation of an advisory council to guide the ministry on food-related issues, ranging from farms to food insecurity and food waste. The 23-member Canadian Food Policy Advisory Council will tackle the priorities set out in Food Policy for Canada, a 2019 report outlining the country s future food policy direction.
VANCOUVER When Wade Deisman heard an unsettling barking sound over the weekend, he thought one of his neighbours got a puppy. It wasn t until the next day that he realized the noise was coming from somewhere on his own White Rock, B.C., property. As he was walking into the home he heard another yelp that sounded like it was coming from beneath the deck. I had this idea that maybe the story here wasn t that the neighbours had a new puppy, maybe the story here is that there was a dog stuck underneath my house, underneath my deck, Deisman said.

Late Friday morning Wade Deisman was in his home in White Rock, B.C, when he heard some barking and figured his neighbours must have gotten a new puppy.
Deisman, an associate dean at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, had moved to the Metro Vancouver suburb near the U.S. border in October from Abbotsford.
The barking was new, but he didn t think anything of it. Until he heard it again, and again, into the next morning. I thought, well geez it sounds like the puppy s having a hard time, he said. It s good to have a puppy but you have to take care of the puppy.

As a black woman who immigrated from Nigeria to Canada seven years ago, my biggest fear was losing my cultural identity and heritage as I went through the process of integration. This fear crept over me like the feeling of a thousand thorns, so I decided to do something about it.
