Project Hammer aims to drive more competition and reduce collusion in the Canadian grocery sector.

To get this done, we will:

  1. Compile a database of historical grocery prices from top grocers’ websites.
  2. Make the database available in a format that is suitable for academic analysis and for legal action.
  3. Inform changemakers of the existence of this dataset (and make it reasonably easy for them to use).

Ridiculous markup.

How do we expect this to play out?

 

Canadian real estate prices have surged in almost every market, with a typical home price doubling in many regions.

The outlandish scenario was apparently a […]

I think the argument is to deter other immigrants from committing such crimes.

Here's an article about the same guy getting released in 2014: https://www.thespec.com/news/stoney-creek-residents-fight-relocation-of-sex-offender-keith-theodore-constantin/article_589b5b81-454f-5beb-91be-2950d52dccd9.html

Here's another article about him getting arrested again shortly after that: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/headlines/convicted-sex-offender-keith-constantin-arrested-again-1.2726024

Here's another article about him getting released again a year later: https://www.yorkregion.com/news/schomberg-residents-on-edge-over-release-of-high-risk-offender/article_37eaeef3-e3ec-5110-bc53-706b6970e66c.html

Obviously he got arrested again at least once at some point because here we are talking about him getting released again.

Also from that 2nd article: "He was also convicted in 2000 of sexually assaulting a young boy and of sexually assaulting a 45-year-old blind woman in separate incidents." So this goes back even father than I what I can find just on google. Serial rapist catch-and-release for over two decades. Canada's legal system is a joke.
