Newstalk 1010’s Jerry Agar: “Why shouldn’t they have breakfast at home?”
—Newstalk 1010 host Jerry Agar, channelling Marie Antoinette during an interview (skip to 35:00) this morning with mayoral candidate Olivia Chow. The topic of conversation was Chow’s efforts to expand school-breakfast programs during her time as a city councillor.
Yeah, and?

Cereal and milk, surely Canada’s generous welfare state encompasses those two minor grocery items?
Chow wants state controlled breakfasts for children. approved by committee of elite NDP politburo members. who vote themselves huge pay raises and pensions. who wail and whine about the poor children.
The reason you need school breakfast programs is because the heroic-valiant-porcine single mothers dont like spending their government cheque and child support on their children. Some of these ladies dont like to get up in the morning. And if you say you dont have enough money, get a job. If you say it is too expensive to live in Toronto, then move, like the rest of us have had to. My children always ate at home, except for pizza day. I worked mostly nights so I could walk my children to school, walk home with them, and see to their needs. If you have chosen a life whereby you cannot do this, remember, you chose that life. I am not the father of those children, neither is the government.
Wow, you used Wiki as a reference and didn’t bother to read the article.
“While it is commonly attributed to Queen Marie Antoinette,[1] there is no record of this phrase ever having been uttered by her.”
Steve Kupferman is a hack
Oh the horror, children being fed at home by their parents.
Toronto Life channeling Chicken Little. What an odious Marxist buffoon this author is.
She wants to give us the same failed school breakfast programs that Michele Obama has imposed upon US schools and which results in most of the food being thrown out.
You choose to have children — take care of them.
Mooch is having trouble with schools swallowing her bowls of gruel.
many have told her to stick it
But, alas, we’re wrong. Government has become Daddy to all unmarried women. That’s why we have rampant single motherhood (the most significant marker to those children becoming less than stellar adults), marriage age increasing, marriage rates falling and fewer and fewer children per woman.
Those Strong, Independent Women (TM) that they wish/want to be are only as independent as the white guys who pay the taxes for their social/daddy programs to exist.
Aside from the fact that feeding children is solely the parents’ responsibility and that taxes should not be taken from the voter only to be funnelled back to him/her in the form of a crappy service, how hard is it to give one’s kid a slice of toast with jam, a piece of fruit, a yogurt cup, orange juice? How can one over-think weekday breakfast?
Furthermore, these programs increase dependency and ignore real possible problems like parental abuse or neglect or joblessness. Good thing there’s a bowl of stale Corn Flakes to distract everyone from personal or governmental failures!
milk is hitting 5 bucks a gallon thanks to the price jacked supply managed dairy industry.
USA gives out “Food stamps” and yet the poor STILL seem to have trouble feeding their kids at home for some reason (given the huge increase in school lunch programs during the 80s and 90s and now today)
Idiot leftists at work.
facts don’t matter to lefties.
Boy, have you fallen for the nonsense. And meanesses too.
Fallen? i promote it
nonsense? mom has to get her arse out of bed and take care of children.. or she has to be more selective who she gets knocked up by…
Vote for Rob Ford. He’s not a communist.
Do the words, ‘Oh, do shut up please’ have any meaning at all for slogan-spewing right wing nimrods? Hmmm?
Even more to the point, if your kids need shoes and milk in the morning, buy it instead of getting that new tat or spending money on your fake nails (every picture I see of ‘low-income’ parents, they are covered with tats and the women always have gel nails.)
Do what my Mom did when we were growing up. Mix up a pitcher of skim milk powder and add it to the gallon of milk.
