Chinese EVs aren’t just an economic threat – they are a security risk

The Canadian government is considering a surtax to prevent Chinese electric vehicles from flooding the market, just as the U.S. and the European Union have done recently. But there’s much more at stake than just the competitive position of the North American auto industry. Looking back at recent disputes between China and Western democracies, it’s clear that security issues also need to be considered.

Given China’s influence over the Trudeau government I am betting an ineffectual set of measures will be enacted to counter the red tide solely to save face.

Federal government’s turbo-charged immigration helping drive housing demand

According to a recent Statistics Canada report, Canada’s population has just hit the level it was previously expected to reach in 2028. That startling finding underscores the extraordinary growth of the country’s population since the pandemic, driven by record inflows of both permanent and “temporary” immigrants.

A rapidly expanding population can bring some benefits, notably by stimulating overall economic activity and providing additional workers. But it’s not an alloyed good. The number of Canadian residents is increasing faster than economic output (gross domestic product), which has translated into an unprecedented series of declines in per-person GDP over the last several quarters. Productivity is stagnant, as newcomers struggle to find their way in the economy and job market. In addition, a significant share of new immigrants don’t seek or obtain employment, dampening immigration’s contribution to the growth of economic output.

Justin Trudeau and Joe Biden are two leaders with one problem: Many of their supporters think their time is up

Justin Trudeau announced on Monday that he’s headed for Washington next week. What will he and President Joe Biden be talking about, behind the scenes at the NATO summit?

Endurance might be one topic. It’s been a bad week for Trudeau and Biden — arguably their worst weeks — with increasingly open questions of whether either leader should be hanging on.

Ottawa considering buying hotels to house growing number of asylum seekers

Ottawa is considering buying hotels to house the growing number of asylum seekers and to cut the cost of block-booking hotel rooms to accommodate them, Immigration Minister Marc Miller says.

The federal government has in the last few years taken out long leases on hotels to help provinces house thousands of refugee claimants. This year, Ottawa has been footing the bill for approximately 4,000 hotel rooms for 7,300 asylum seekers, many of whom have transferred from provincial shelters and churches, according to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.

That’s a great idea.

Create a hotel room shortage that kills off tourism and business travel with jacked up rates while providing fake refugees shelter at the expense of our own homeless.

Afghan Sikh sponsors donated to Sajjan’s riding association during Kabul airlift campaign

Directors of a charitable foundation that struck a deal with Ottawa to sponsor the immigration of Afghan Sikhs to Canada made political donations to then-defence minister Harjit Sajjan’s Vancouver South Liberal riding association around the same time as Canadian special forces soldiers were instructed to rescue and airlift the group from Kabul.

Elections Canada records show that between them, these directors made thousands of dollars of personal donations to the Liberal Vancouver South Liberal riding association in August 2021. Canada was in the midst of a general election campaign that had begun August 16 and Mr. Sajjan was seeking re-election in the Vancouver South riding.

Fuck diversity.

United States looking at all options to halt Trudeau government’s digital services tax

The Office of the United States Trade Representative says it will do what’s necessary to halt Canada’s tax on large foreign digital services companies.

Last month, Parliament approved the government’s plan to add a three per cent levy on foreign tech giants which generate revenue from Canadian users. It means the companies will have to pay taxes on that revenue in Canada.

Many of those companies are based in the United States and American industry is demanding action.

We could be in trouble if Dementia Joe can remember Canada.

Is 13 too young to work? A Saskatchewan proposal has reignited debate around kids and labour

Look at the joy on these young faces! Coal dust is invigorating! No school just 60 hour weeks hanging out with your chums! It don’t get no better!

Saskatchewan residents are due to vote in a general election later this year and a business group in the province hopes the next government will lower the province’s “absolute minimum” working age to 13 years old.

In a set of pre-election policy recommendations, the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce highlights challenges from a “labour shortage” in the province and suggests the existing age of 14 is too high.
