The melon's roots can be traced back to varieties brought over by French settlers in the seventeenth century. In its heyday, half a century ago, the Montreal melon was the Queen of Melons. Its delicious, green flesh was prized in the fancy dining rooms of New York and Boston, where customers would pay a big price for the pleasure of eating just a single juicy slice. A 1938 handbook Vegetables of New York claimed that "handled skillfully and intelligently, the melon produces the largest fruits of its type in American cultivation. "A single melon could easily reach 15 pounds! And its unique spicy flavour was the reason it was also known as "The Montreal Nutmeg Melon. "

CONT

Unfortunately, it is all too easy to lose varieties which contain unique genes; for instance the "Montreal melon", once renowned for its special taste and sold in New York for exorbitant prices, has disappeared without a trace.

For many families, the refundable child tax credit represents more than half of their federal child benefit, but fails to meet their immediate needs. The full amount of the credit is paid only after tax returns are assessed. This delay is difficult for many modest-income families : they must pay for their children's needs every month, but may have to wait more than a year to receive the full credit.

  • Avantages sociaux
  • Sécurité sociale et assurance-emploi
CONT

Pour de nombreuses familles, le crédit d'impôt remboursable pour enfants représente plus de la moitié des prestations fédérales versées à l'égard des enfants, mais il ne répond pas à leurs besoins immédiats. La totalité du crédit est versée uniquement après que les déclarations d'impôt ont été vérifiées. Ce délai cause des difficultés à un grand nombre de familles à revenu modeste: celles-ci doivent en effet subvenir aux besoins de leurs enfants chaque mois, mais elles peuvent être obligées d'attendre plus d'un an avant de recevoir le plein montant du crédit.
