Calgary dairy producer has licence suspended by Canadian Food Inspection Agency
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has suspended the licence of a Calgary milk producer.
The Safe Food for Canadians licence of Mother Dairy, located on 47th Street N.E., was suspended May 21 for failing to identify hazards, having a lack of appropriate equipment and failing to implement a preventive control plan and document a food complaint process, according to a release.
There is no food recall associated with the suspension.
According to its website, some of the products the company produces include paneer (Indian cottage cheese), desi ghee (clarified butter), whipped butter, plain yogurt (Punjabi dahi), and lassi (sweet and salted).
The suspension can be lifted if CFIA believes corrective measures have been taken. If corrective measures are not taken within 90 days, the licence can be cancelled.

Pro-energy rally in Calgary draws thousands of pipeline supporters
Published Tuesday, June 11, 2019 6:41AM MDT
A pro-pipeline group claims a noon-hour rally on Tuesday in support of the oil and gas industry is one of the largest in Canadian history.
Canada Action, a non-partisan group, says at least 4,000 people attended the event at the Stampede grounds.
(EP NOTE WHENEVER A GROUP CALLS ITSELF NON POLITICAL OR NON PARTISAN THEY ARE RIGHT WING HIDING THEIR AFFILIATION)
The rally coincided with the 51st annual Global Petroleum Show and was in anticipation of next week’s federal cabinet decision on the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion project.

Organizers say about 4,000 people showed up to send a message to Ottawa.
“The Trans Mountain expansion, while an incredibly important project in its own right, has become a symbol of the oil and gas industry and the challenges facing energy projects all over the country,” said Canada Action founder, Cody Battershill.
“We are going to send a message that we need to support the energy sector because global oil and gas demand continues to grow and Canada needs to grow globally."
Battershill added Canada lost $40,000 per minute in 2018 due to insufficient pipeline capacity.
Tuesday’s rally featured speeches from industry leaders, advocates and politicians, including:
- Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe
- Alberta Energy Minister Sonya Savage
- B.C. MLA Ellis Ross
- Ontario Minister of Energy, Northern Development and Mines Greg Rickford
- Fort St. John Mayor Lori Ackerman
The rally began at noon at the outdoor zone next to the Big Four building and was open to the public.
Alberta Premier Jason Kenney also spoke at the Global Petroleum Show at 10 a.m. before travelling to Montreal for bilateral meetings at the International Economic Forum of the Americas.

Calgary Board of Education proceeds with cuts despite provincial funding promise
School boards cautious despite funding pledge
The CBE says it will continue with its planned cuts despite the province’s funding commitment. Kevin Green has the latest.
The Calgary public school board is proceeding with staff reductions despite a promise from the provincial finance minister to fund rising enrolment.
Speaking in the legislature, finance minister Travis Toews said "I am pleased to announce today that increased enrolment growth will be fully funded for this upcoming year."
The Calgary Board of Education faces a $40 million budget gap, with $21 million of that driven by increased enrolment.

Calgary Board of Education board meeting
The board chair admits to being surprised by the announcement, but Trina Hurdman says the board will take a wait-and-see approach as Toews announcement lacked detail. "Our education funding is a very complex process, there is a lot more than just the basic per student funding," said Hurdman. "We are waiting for further information from the province around what does our overall funding look like."
The president of the Calgary public teachers' association worries the province is playing a bait-and- switch game by announcing the enrolment funding without saying what other money it will actually cut.
"They could go and play the shell game and say we are not going to fund this or that," said Bob Cocking, ATA Local 38 president. "They could find a way to make it look like they are funding it but we are being maybe robbed in other areas."
The school board's chief financial officer says Monday's provincial announcement isn’t enough to stop the staff cuts already underway.
“We have not received anything concrete from Alberta Ed," said CBE CFO Brad Grundy. "It's basically full steam ahead with the plan we had."
The province hasn't indicated if it plans any cuts to other areas of education funding, telling CTV more details will be released in interim financing legislation in July.
India rubbish mountain to rise higher than Taj Mahal
A noteworthy monument to 20th Century.
Taking up the area of more than 40 football pitches, Ghazipur rises by nearly 10 metres a year with no end in sight to its foul-smelling growth.
According to East Delhi's superintendent engineer Arun Kumar, it is already more than 65 metres (213 feet) high.
At its current rate of growth, it will be taller than the iconic Taj in Agra, some 73 metres high, in 2020.
