revolving around how | was going to nourish them.Everything would be as organic as our bank account would allow, and I'd steer them away (within reason) from processed food and sugar.Also, everything would be home-cooked\u2014 no frozen chicken nuggets for me.I'd observe other parents with their chocolate cake and French fries and think, my kids will never eat that stuff.| was such an idiot.My son just finished lunch, and while my infant daughter thoroughly enjoyed the homemade minestrone soup and boiled broccoli | made, my toddler son would only eat half a banana, a cup of milk, a bite of a chicken nugget (which he promptly chewed up and spit out) and something that may be identified as a \u201cfruit strip.\u201d He's obviously eating enough, but as most parents will tell you, there's not much reasoning that can be done with a two-year-old, especially in regards to what they choose to eat.Now I'm on to meal planning in the hopes of inspiring my son's taste buds\u2014while also trying to hold on to my sense of reason.Wish me luck.Services for families in the Haut-Saint-Laurent receive over 80 000 $ MARIO PITRE TRANSLATED BY CATHLEEN JOHNSTON mario.pitre@tc.tc FAMILY.The

speaking agricultural producers in the Montérégie will have easier access to training thanks to a $7 500 grant approved by Farm Credit Canada.This financial assistance was issued to the Montérégie UPA which represents a significant number of English speaking producers in 5 of the 15 local UPA unions, including those of Vaudreuil-Soulanges, Haut-Saint-Laurent, Jardins-de-Napierville, Haut-Richelieu and Brome-Missisquoi.This financial assistance comes from the Expression Fund which is intended to fund projects in official language minority communities.The Federation will be able to assume some of the cost of translating pedagogical material through its Regional collectives for agricultural training (Collectif régional en formation agricole).English speaking producers are invited to indicate their needs in continuing education to Marie-Claude Séguin, Sponsor for agricultural training by email at mcseguin@upa.qc.ca.According to Claude Lapointe, 2nd Vice Presidenct of the Montérégie UPA and

denounces Anne Quach POLITICS.In reaction to the Trudeau government budget presented Wednesday, Anne Quach, New Democratic MP for Salaberry-Suroit estimated that citizens in the region «received very little to help them keep their heads above water, while the privileged and friends of power were well rewarded.» The MP pointed out that one part of Justin Trudeau's promise to abolish a tax credit related to wealthy CEOs was not respected while the federal budget gave them a present of $725 M per year.At the same time, there was no measure scheduled in the budget to fight against precarious jobs and no proposed strategy to address the issue of food banks.«Just before the budget was tabled, | asked Minister Jean-Yves Duclos if he was finally going to help the Service alimentaire communautaire and the food banks.He told me to wait for the budget.But no mention was made in the 322 pages of the budget , » stated Anne Quach bitterly.Quach conceded that the Liberals do intend to invest in affordable housing, something the NDP has advocated for years.Unfortunately, when the details are analysed, 90% of the investments are planned for 2019, after the next election campaign.«Once again, nice promises but no immediate action when the need for affordable housing is very pressing in the riding as it is in the rest of Canada, » deplored the MP.Anne Minh-Thu Quach, MP for Salaberry- Suroît.Photo TC Média Archives As for the youth file, Quach welcomed the renewal of the Youth Employment Strategy and new funding for professional training.However, the Liberal government is not making the effort to provide the means to create quality, full time employment.«Ten days after closing Katimavik, the government still has not announced funding to save the organization which has allowed thousands of youth to experience cultural exchanges across the country,» said Anne Quach indignantly.The NDP welcomed the opportunity family caregivers may have to access 15 weeks of employment insurance benefits to care for a family member.(M.P.-CJ.)
