The Royal Canadian Mint is charging some Canadians more to enter its Ottawa and Winnipeg buildings than others based on their ethnicity..Both branches offer 45-minutes tours described as “fun, educational and perfect for all ages,” although the Western Standard discovered that some ethnic groups are required to pay more than others..The Winnipeg tour offers a bird’s eye view of the production floor and insight into the technology used to mint coins, the “record-breaking million dollar coin” and a chance to view a 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic medal..Prices for adults are $12 (tax included), $8 for children aged 5-17, $10 for seniors with infants (aged four and under) going free. A family ticket for two adults and two children costs $30, while military personnel and veterans can enter for free..However, indigenous people can also enter for free, both at the Winnipeg and Ottawa locations..Key workers and students, for example, do not appear to receive a discounted rate, let alone a free admission..A spokesperson for the Royal Canadian Mint said: "We follow the approach of other tourism partners and national museums in Ottawa and Winnipeg in offering free guided tour admission for Indigenous Peoples and Canadian military members (both active and retired).".This is what the Western Standard is up againstThe Trudeau government is funding lies and propaganda by directly subsidizing the mainstream media. They do this to entrench the powerful Eastern, woke and corrupt interests that dominate the political, social and economic institutions in Canada.
