Jack M. Mintz: Canada should retaliate against Biden’s wrong-headed decision to cancel Keystone. Here’s how

Well, that was fast. On day one, the new U.S. president, Joe Biden, is reportedly willing to gut-punch his northern neighbour by cancelling a presidential permit for the construction of Keystone XL.

It is an insult. Full stop. Mineral fuels are Canada’s largest export to the U.S. — at over US$89 billion in 2019 — two-thirds more important than auto vehicles and parts. Almost 3,000 direct jobs and another 14,000 indirect jobs will be lost in Canada with the cancellation of Keystone XL. Because of reduced pipeline capacity, Canadian heavy oil will often sell at a discount, resulting in billions of dollars in lost GDP and federal and provincial tax revenues.

I doubt Justin will come riding to Alberta’s rescue.

Sensitive equipment being purchased by Global Affairs Canada without consultation with security experts: report

Sensitive equipment being purchased by Global Affairs Canada without consultation with security experts: report

Government security experts aren’t usually consulted by Global Affairs Canada when that department purchases equipment, including sensitive gear needed to protect diplomats and embassies, a procurement review has found.

The September 2020 study was sparked by an article in the National Post about a Chinese firm that had been authorized to provide security equipment to the department. Procurement Canada selected Nuctech, which is closely tied to the Chinese military, for the $6.8 million standing offer that included the delivery, installation, operator training and software for X-ray machines for use at Canadian embassies around the world. The Chinese company was picked over a Canadian firm that had also bid.

Canada’s China Class is Busy Busy Busy!
