When questioned Wednesday, Kinew didn’t clearly state why government is making the distinction between grocery stores and other food retailers, like convenience stores or mom-and-pop shops.

Provincial sales taxes will be removed from more grocery store items under Manitoba’s next budget, and one researcher says the province may be the first to do so.

For those unaware: algorithmic pricing is the practice of using data about a user to change how much to charge them. For example if a company buys your data and realizes that you just got paid, or that you’re that you’re really desperate for whatever product, or whatever, then they will charge you more. Usually this is done by a company requiring you to download an app so that you can “see” the prices, though it can be done more inconspicuously with online shopping.

Wab Kinew now seems open to moving to a consistent year-round time, abolishing the need for us to change the clocks twice a year.

Riverview, the Minnesota-based agricultural company that made the statement, is set to test the goal as it adds to its network of mega dairies by building two facilities along the North Dakotan stretch of the Red River before it flows north into Canada. One barn, near Hillsboro, will contain 25,000 head of cattle; the other, outside Abercrombie, will house 12,500. Together, the two will contain nearly the same number of producing dairy cows as the entire province of Manitoba (and will more than quadruple North Dakota’s quantity).

Presently, a provincial government that invokes the clause isn’t required to say which particular Charter rights its legislation needs to be exempted from.
