Two pieces of excellent news!
I ran a trial of a breakfast program years ago. The feedback was so positive, everyone LOVED it!
It didn't just help with concentration, it increased attendance for kids from rough homes with empty pantries. The food at school became a major incentive to come to school. For a few dollars they got fed and got a day of education in a safe environment.
This is #Canada matching the marketing. Lets be this country.

@cbcnews @canada-cbcnews the notwithstanding clause makes the wrong balance between democratically elected government and individual and collective human rights. It was designed as an emergency measure, and now it's become boilerplate. It's been abused.

@evan The #NotwithstandingClause should be only a break-glass sort of measure, yes. But it's being used more frequently these days because courts are striking down laws on less plausible interpretations of the Charter. There are even recent cases in which the Supreme Court has reversed itself on what the correct interpretation of the Charter should be: https://www.readtheline.ca/p/brian-dijkema-i-defended-the-courts

"Poses low risk to humans" is the nicest thing anyone outside of Australia has ever said about Vegemite.

A screenshot from the Guardian showing Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese holding a jar of Vegemite.

Below it is a headline which reads: 
"Albanese claims victory in Vegemite fight as Canada concedes speead poses 'low' risk to humans.

The sub head reads: 
"Prime minister said his government had lobbied Canada to reconsider ruling that cafe could not import Vegemite"
