Still, Trudeau has not called for speaker Anthony Rota to resign, and Rota is also resisting the calls. Peter Julian, the New Democratic Party House leader, and Bloc Quebecois leader Yves-Francois Blanchet both said Anthony Rota should step down. "This is something that is deeply embarrassing to the Parliament of Canada and by extension to all Canadians." "I think it's going to be really important that all of us push back against Russian disinformation and continue our steadfast unequivocal support for Ukraine," Trudeau said, per the BBC. "It's been deeply embarrassing for Canada, and I think it was deeply embarrassing for the president of Ukraine," said Gould, who is a descendent of Holocaust survivors.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last week announced a tax break designed to boost the construction of new rental apartment buildings and relieve pressure on the Canadian housing market. Later on Monday, the heads of major grocery chains will meet government ministers who are demanding to see a plan to counter soaring food prices. Canadian retailers say they are not to blame for surging food prices, and instead point to food manufacturers and producers for passing on higher costs to the grocers. The grocery chains attending the meeting in Ottawa are Loblaws (L.TO), Sobeys (EMPa.TO), Metro (MRU.TO), Walmart (WMT.N) and Costco (COST.O), which together represent 80% of the Canadian market.

☆ Canada says Americans can always get abortion pills up north if the Supreme Court kills access

A Canadian official says her government is working to get enough mifepristone pills to offer Americans. Americans' access to abortion medication has been up in the air after a Texas judge's decision to restrict it. The official said the Canadian government doesn't want to "further endanger" Americans who need reproductive care. But Gould said Canada will need to be careful since some US states are preparing to prosecute Americans who leave their borders to get access. "What concerns me," Gould told CTV, "is where you see laws in states where they're actually criminalizing women [who] cross state borders to access reproductive health care."
