Ottawa Now - Why the cheese curd landscape outside of Quebec could look very different
March 6, 2026
Quebec’s dairy industry has been advocating to recognize cheese curds as a controlled designation. On the surface, this type of poutine protectionism seems old-fashioned. At the same time, there are serious implications for a crowd of excluded Ontario businesses that make their own cheese curds. Fromagerie St. Albert, which is situated in Eastern Ontario, is one example. They have been producing cheese curds since 1894 – long before Quebec popularized poutine in the late-1950’s. Kristy Cameron chats with Eric Lafontaine, the General Manager of St. Albert’s Cheese, on today’s Ottawa Now.
Perhaps one of the most controversial issues in Canada is MAID, or medical assistance in dying.
There are people who feel that it’s being offered too readily in cases where death may not be an appropriate course, and others who feel there needs to be expanded access.
One province has decided that the pace of these deaths has gone too far, too fast.
National Post politics reporter Rahim Mohamed joins Dave Breakenridge to discuss where MAID is currently at in Canada, why Alberta felt it needed to bring in restrictions, and how those limitations have been perceived.
