The creators of Birdie Juice Beer recently celebrated a deal made on CBC’s Dragon’s Den worth $200,000 to expand the brand across Ontario, and hopefully to other provinces. Farm League Brewing in Cambridge is owned and operated by Collin McKinnon, Matt Boismier and Mike Mayo. Ultimately, they secured a deal with beer baroness Manjit Minhas worth $200,000 as an investor in the Birdie Juice brand. “Naturally we knew working with someone like Manjit would make the most sense because of her background in beer,” McKinnon said. And with the recent surge of indoor golf simulators, they also hope to one day open their own fully branded Birdie Juice golf simulator.

A new Statistics Canada report released Monday reports total wheat production fell nearly seven per cent in 2023, ending at 32 million tonnes. Vandervalk, also the Alberta vice president of the Wheat Growers Association, said his durum wheat crop — primarily used for making pasta — ended this year with less than half the yield he'd normally expect. From harvest to store shelvesStuart Smyth, a professor of agricultural and resource economics at the University of Saskatchewan, said lower crop yields can contribute to a bump in prices at the grocery store. Cereals Canada is now busy promoting the good quality of this year's wheat crop, despite the rough growing season for some producers. "Canadian wheat is often blended with wheat from other parts of the world, and what Canadian wheat brings is good gluten strength," Carlson said.

Coco the orange tabby, a resident of (ahem) Dildo, Newfoundland got freaked about by a dog in her yard so she quickly escaped to the top of a utility pole. After an hour, Coco's human Alice Reid climbed up a ladder leaning against the pole but couldn't reach her. "We tried a board on the ladder, and he tried a few times himself to get down but he was too afraid," Reid said. But once he got close, Coco leapt off the pole on her own and apparently stuck the landing. "Coco was recovered and is back home enjoying sleep and treats in perfect health — although Reid said he likely used one of his nine lives," reports CBC.ca.

OTTAWA — Canada's public broadcaster is feeling the heat after its president declined to rule out the possibility of holiday bonuses this year, hours after announcing massive layoffs. CBC spokesperson Leon Mar confirmed Tuesday the public broadcaster won't be reconsidering the bonuses it would have paid under existing contracts. While the planned cuts were announced on Monday, the public broadcaster has not yet moved forward with laying off employees. But when asked whether it was an option to exempt the public broadcaster from overall spending cuts, Freeland skirted the question. However, Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge hinted last week that the federal government is open to limiting how much money the public broadcaster gets.

In 2021, Owner Tony Zacconi expanded his banquet hall business next door in Little italy to include a licensed market and restaurant. It came after the Ontario government began allowing restaurants to sell takeout alcohol with food orders to help them weather repeated COVID-19 lockdowns.

Marina Fischer, curator of the Numismatic Collection of the Nickle Galleries at the University of Calgary, was recently interviewed by CBC Radio. Loren McGinnis, the host of CBC’s Calgary Eyeopener, interviewed Fischer about the significance of the effigy of Canada’s new monarch, King Charles III, on Canadian coins. “I think this is an incredible time for us to witness,” Fischer said in the interview. “He truly managed to capture the feel of the person and I’ve seen this in his painted portraits,” Fischer said. “Generally when we look at money and coins, there are different ways how we value them.

Some say it should keep its news departments but shed itself of entertainment programing because others do it. The reasons for the cuts are attributed by CBC to declining TV ad revenue, rising production costs and the pandemic. While CBC has faced many cutbacks in funding over the years, the media in general are feeling the crunch. If we don’t weep for CBC, we should worry about the overall loss of media because our window on the world is closing. —Editor’s Note: This opinion piece reflects the views of its author, and does not necessarily represent the views of CFJC Today or Pattison Media.

The federal Liberals are voicing their support for the public broadcaster after it announced layoffs on Monday, but Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland won’t weigh in on whether Ottawa will exempt it from across-the-board budget cuts. Freeland told reporters on Tuesday morning that the CBC and Radio-Canada cuts were “very sad news.”But when asked whether it was an option to exempt the public broadcaster from overall spending cuts, Freeland skirted the question. “Our government strongly supports Radio-Canada and CBC,” she said in French. Documents obtained by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation earlier this year reveal the public broadcaster has awarded $99 million in bonuses between 2015 and 2022. Despite the latest cuts, the public broadcaster’s president didn’t rule out more bonuses this year in an interview aired on CBC News’s The National on Monday night.
