"[The] squeezing of the Canadian middle class does not need to be explained to those who live it every day." Trudeau's middle class economicsFrom the start, Trudeau's rhetorical and policy focus on the "middle class and those working hard to to join it" was widely debated and often derided. "The famous middle class — remember Justin Trudeau was going to do everything for the middle class?" But when voters were asked who would do the most for the middle class, Trudeau was the overwhelming choice. In 2012, Trudeau warned of consequences if governments fail to address the basic economic concerns of the middle class.

After two decades of allowing my French-language skills to wither, I decided a few years ago to reconnect with the French language. After all, there weren’t many opportunities for me to use my French skills, and outside of Quebec, French seemed outdated. At the beginning of the pandemic, I decided to dive back into the French language. We need to value bilingualism in order for the French language to thrive in all of Canada. Much of the conversation about the place of the French language in Canada is defeatist.

Dear Liz: I am trying to get my credit score figured out and was wondering if you have any recommendations for a credit report guru in my area? Understand first that you don’t have just one credit score: You have many, and they change all the time based on the information in your credit reports. Consider signing up for a service that provides you a free score that you can monitor over time. (You may be able to get a free credit score from your bank or a credit card issuer. In general, you can improve your scores by paying bills on time, using 10% or less of your available credit limits and having a mix of credit types (credit cards and installment loans).

I didn’t vote for Doug Ford when he ran for the leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party. But Doug Ford really is a man of the people. In spite of these issues (and others that I am sure his critics will point out), Doug Ford won the last Provincial election by a significant margin.
