We also note that national surveys using the HFSSM also typically ask about experiences over a 12-month reference period, and our first food worry estimate only referenced food worry in the past two weeks. However, we note that the Food Banks Canada survey was administered at a later date compared to our survey, and that Food Banks Canada utilized a different sampling strategy, based on automated phone interviews. Respondents were more likely to report food bank usage if they experienced food worry, even after adjusting for household income. Furthermore, while most food bank users report more severe and protracted forms of food insecurity, there is little evidence that longer duration or higher frequency of food bank usage substantively diminishes the severity or stress related to food insecurity for most users [54, 83,84,85]. We are also unable to draw any specific conclusions here about how specific COVID-19 related policy changes or food program challenges buffered or exacerbated experiences of food worry or food program usage.

Correctional Service Canada (CSC) policies forbid inmates from buying any technology capable of communicating with the outside world. The aim was to give inmates access to wider choice and better prices. It's proven increasingly successful, according to Ghislaine Sauvé, CSC director general of technical services and facilities. Inmates do not have direct access to the Amazon account, according to Sauvé. One advantage of using e-commerce platforms like Amazon, Sauvé said, is that it blunts concerns about price gouging.

CBC News published this video item, entitled “Why these historical photos are at risk of being lost forever” – below is their description. Photos and film from the 1950s to the early ‘90s are at risk of disappearing because of “vinegar syndrome.”The destructive and contagious chemical decay causes film to shrink and crack until the image is lost — it can even be harmful to people when breathed in.

At the time, that was one half of a gold franc, a currency formerly used by international organizations, per kilogram of international mail. The United States and other countries, including Canada, were able to negotiate a new deal withing the Universal Postal Union.
