On September 30, we mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It is a time for all of us to remember the tragic history and ongoing impacts of residential schools-and to honour those who never returned home, survivors, as well as their families and communities. Along with wearing orange on this day, we can honour survivors by deepening our awareness of the history of residential schools, participating in community events, and listening to the experiences of former residential school survivors.

Argentines are expected to eat the most beef in five years in 2023, extending the country's reign as the No. 1 steak consumer per capita despite the painful impact of 109-percent inflation on food prices, a Rosario grains exchange report showed on Friday. The major beef producer, where 'asado' barbecues are a key part of the culinary culture and steakhouses dot city streets, has seen in recent years beef consumption dip as prices climbed and diners shifted to cheaper chicken and pork. That, however, seems to be partly reversing, even in the face of one of the world's highest inflation rates which has badly hurt spending power.
