It's already scary how much sugar some products have, and the last thing we ne d is the idiot Scheer encouraging people to reject the new food guide and encourage people to drink as much chocolate milk as they like. I must confess that I could drink chocolate milk by the gallon, but diabetes is something all Canadians should do their best to avoid.

Dairy milk consumption is down for health reasons as well as competition from substitutes like soy milk etc. But the dairy lobby still has about $80 million a year to spend pressuring politicians, or just hyping their products, so they are a force to be reckoned with. Also they are a large special interest group in Quebec so nobody dares cross them, except for the poor loser Maxime Bernier....Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-84820503170398148662019-07-22T14:57:50.506-04:002019-07-22T14:57:50.506-04:00Hi Jackie....I'm not worried at all by the Con...Hi Jackie....I'm not worried at all by the Cons absurd attempt to revive the fake scandal.

He who claims he would have negotiated a better NAFTA deal for us succumbs to the whims of a 6 year old Andy junior who will undoubtedly become a future strain on our health care system because daddy was too busy trying to win votes instead of ensuring a healthy diet for his own children.

A teacher forced me to drink one of those little boxes of milk, and I turned bright red and was gasping for air. These allergies are much more common as one might think, especially among Asian, Indigenous American and African-origin people (I'm mostly white but had an Obama-coloured grandparent from the Caribbean, and probably some Indigenous ancestry). Actually, a MINORITY of humans worldwide are lactose-tolerant.<br /><br />I've grown out of the life-threatening true allergy, but remain lactose-intolerant. lagatta à montréalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02610410709900333230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-8798996405189849052019-07-21T10:20:20.499-04:002019-07-21T10:20:20.499-04:00Diabetes rates are also skyrocketing in Canada, so...Diabetes rates are also skyrocketing in Canada, so Scheer's irresponsible comments are even more irresponsible and dangerous.

Surely they are not desperate or stupid enough to support the Cons as its the age old game of welcome aboard the love boat where the well being and prosperity of every voter is of the utmost importance to us, however once the ship sets sail they are suddenly viewed as ballast to be jettisoned at the first sign of choppy waters. What some fail to understand is that its no longer a game of jumping from one ship to another in 4 years, once the Cons are in a position to toss them overboard they will have rigged the system so that rescue is impossible. Harper dabbled in it with his fair elections, anti funding, terrorist monitoring laws but his antics were relatively amateurish compared to what Trump has demonstrated is possible in a few short years. Andy seems to think he is well versed in how to free the Jolly Rodger by circumventing the nasty constitution and supreme court that kept captain Harper confined to the more traditional ports of call. Perhaps its just smoke by why give Andy's puppet masters the opportunity to try.<br /><br />RTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-18356523630478429522019-07-20T20:10:16.212-04:002019-07-20T20:10:16.212-04:00Simon, what's your take on "Gerry-gate&qu...Simon, what's your take on "Gerry-gate"? The Cons are trying to drag the fake scandal into the spotlight again and I'm worried they'll have another Hillary's Emails line of attack to use as a weapon all the way to October. They're signal-boosting this crap with their bot farms, now it's Butts Must Go along with Trudeau Must Go and other recycled hashtags from the spring. Along with juvenile, homophobic and vulgar memes surrounding Gerry's (unfortunate) surname. It won't be long before the Con media joins in to remind everyone of "Crooked Justin."<br /><br />I commented at the end of the previous post that I have a sinking feeling Mario Dion will be Canada's James Comey. But the drumbeat is already starting. I'm feeling sick about this. I don't trust anyone at this point. Especially not with Wornout involved and his scorched-earth vendetta. Or Harper's international cabal and the likelihood of foreign infiltrators. It all feels like a coordinated attack. I'm scared. Trump is escalating quickly, and if Trudeau gets toppled by Clinton-style character assassination and "two-minute hate" coming from weaponized social media and the Con M$M, there won't be anywhere to go. :(Jackie Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05221859743498420491noreply@blogger.com
