Any eligible Canadian resident who purchased packaged bread for their personal use — including bagged bread, buns, rolls, bagels, naan, English muffins, wraps, pita and tortillas — between 2001 and 2021 can claim compensation from the national settlement reached with Loblaw Companies Limited, and parent company George Weston Ltd. 

Forms can be found online at CanadianBreadSettlement.ca for those living anywhere in Canada outside of Quebec as of Dec. 31, 2021, and at QuebecBreadSettlement.ca for those living within that province on that date. Claims have to be submitted by Dec. 12, 2025, both websites note.

While the price-fixing allegations targeted other major grocers, including Sobeys, Walmart, Giant Tiger and Metro, only Loblaw and its parent company have agreed to a settlement. The others have denied the allegations.

'We will have to do less of some of the things that we want to do,' Carney says

[...]

"The upcoming budget will balance the operating deficit in three years by reducing wasteful government spending and doing more with less," Carney said. "But the fact is, even with such efficiencies and with better management, we will have to do less of some of the things that we want to do, so we can do more of what we must do to build a bigger and better Canada."

It remains unclear exactly what those sacrifices will be or how they will be distributed.

Edit: just found out they had him back on

The snowbirds knew they’d have to comply with a new registration requirement for travellers staying in the United States longer than 29 days. So when a CBP officer said they could complete the process at the border, the couple agreed, unaware of what lay ahead. 

Jacquie Ree said they were sent to secondary inspection where their motorhome was searched.

“I'm watching them open all our hatches, and we're thinking, ‘Oh my god,’” she said. “They went through our whole RV.”

Ree says she and her husband waited in line for 1.5 hours, only to be told by a second CBP officer they couldn’t register at the border. But when they were about to leave, a third officer said he could register the couple, and proceeded to photograph and fingerprint them for data collection purposes. 

Not sure what they expected

The requirement has been in effect since April. However, as the new snowbird season kicks off, this is the first time many Canadian snowbirds are dealing with the rules — resulting in some uncertainty and frustration.

Air travellers are typically exempt from the registration requirement, because they’re issued an electronic arrival record (I-94) when entering the U.S. However, land travellers often don’t receive one.
