Canadian business leaders brace for lost deals after trade talks crumble, 50% U.S. tariffs take effect

Canadian businesses and industry leaders are bracing for the full effects of fresh 50 per cent U.S. tariffs, crossing their fingers that domestic support will come quickly.

Prime Minister Mark Carney called his negotiating team back to Ottawa on Friday night after trade talks fell apart in the 11th hour because of what he said were “unreasonable” requests from the U.S.

Negotiators are no longer at the bargaining table, so U.S. President Donald Trump’s threatened 50 per cent tariffs are in force, covering a range of Canadian products, from wood furniture and cement to plywood and wine.

Business and Industry leaders? They didn’t object to the grievous harm caused Canadians by swamping us with TFW’s, Foreign Students, Family Reunification, and whatever other Mass Immigration scam they and the Liberals could dream up. Mass immigration is corporate welfare. I will not shed a tear for them. They didn’t for us.

I do care very deeply for those who will continue to suffer at the hands of the Carney government and the Corporate Welfare class.

I will never trust a word from the “Business Community” again.

Conservatives and Bloc Ask Lobbying Commissioner to Investigate Carney’s Condo Bailout

OTTAWA — Five weeks after a Liberal majority shelved a parliamentary probe of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s British Columbia condo bailout, opposition MPs have taken the same questions to an independent officer of Parliament, asking Canada’s lobbying commissioner to investigate whether people with access to senior Liberals helped shape the $1.5-billion program.

GOLDSTEIN: Corporate welfare is strangling Canadian economy: study

Corporate welfare by Canada’s federal and provincial governments has more than tripled since 2015 and is strangling economic growth, according to a new study by the Fraser Institute.

It found corporate subsidies totalled $87.7 billion in 2024 alone, with $44.7 billion coming from the federal government and $43 billion from the provincial governments combined.

That more than tripled the 2015 level of $25.1 billion, adjusted for inflation and population growth.

Tripled since 2015 you say? Now what is it about that very special year? Ah well socialism for the rich etc.

Trucking companies deemed unsafe permitted to employ temporary foreign workers

Nearly 100 trucking companies with a history of safety infractions, labour violations and other regulatory failures have been granted approval by Ottawa to hire temporary foreign workers since 2019, a Globe and Mail investigation has found.

The compliance issues ranged from flunking safety audits to concerns over forged documents. In some cases, companies were approved by Employment and Social Development Canada to use the migrant labour program despite failing to comply with wage theft orders issued by the same ministry.

DONOVAN: Carney’s ‘shoebox’ condo bailout rewards developers — and sticks taxpayers with the bill

Prime Minister Mark Carney and BC Premier David Eby are teaming up to use taxpayer funds for the noble cause of saving real estate developers, likely including some of the ones responsible for the urban blight known as “shoebox” or “dog crate” condos.

Vancouver Condo Bailout: A Short-Seller’s Offer To Testify On Private Real Estate Discussions with David Eby

OTTAWA — The legendary American short-seller Marc Cohodes says he does not invest a dollar in Canada. What Cohodes brings to this conversation is not a financial position but a memory — more than a decade of it, beginning in 2014, when he started traveling to Vancouver and meeting with a young opposition politician named David Eby.

Don’t bail out developers. Rescue housing

The debate over governments purchasing unsold condominiums is asking the wrong question.

Critics are right to warn against governments becoming the buyer of last resort for failed condominium projects. That would socialize private losses, reward speculation and encourage developers and lenders to take greater risks, knowing taxpayers may absorb them.

‘Moral Hazard on Steroids’: The Investor Who Called the Big Short Says Carney’s Condo Bailout Is Worse Than 2008 Subprime Fiasco

VANCOUVER — Marc Cohodes built his name and his fortune betting against frauds, from small public companies to the American subprime-mortgage machine that collapsed in 2008. This week, he returned to The Bureau with a blunt verdict on Prime Minister Mark Carney’s plan to spend up to $3.2 billion absorbing Vancouver’s unsold condominiums: he has seen this movie before, and this version is worse.

Cohodes "And Carney is basically putting the losses to the Canadian taxpayers of these condos which are built and can't sell. And he's bailing out the CCP backed developers, you know, the condo king Rennie and all his buddies."

Poilievre slams federal-B.C. plan to buy vacant condos, calling it a ‘bailout’ for developers

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is slamming a plan by the federal and B.C. governments to buy vacant condo units in the province and turn them into affordable housing — a move he describes as a “bailout” that should be immediately cancelled.

“Where is your bailout?” Poilievre told reporters in Vancouver on Sunday afternoon. He further argued that Prime Minister Mark Carney “seems to have a bailout for anyone who’s part of the Liberal club of power brokers.”

On Thursday, Carney and B.C. Premier David Eby announced that over the next 10 years, the federal government would invest more than $5 billion in British Columbia’s local infrastructure through the Build Communities Strong Fund.

People can’ afford food but Carney’s breed of slime can always find an excuse for lavish Corporate welfare bail outs.

DONUT WAR: Tim Hortons scrambles to reclaim Canadian coffee culture with new PR campaign

Tim Hortons is feeling the heat — responding in droves with a new PR strategy to get Canadians back on its side.

And to think, it all began with a “Hi Scott…”

If readers are unaware of the reference, a post on X, addressed to a podcaster, Scott Fox, who was criticizing Tim Hortons’ abuse of the feds’ temporary foreign workers program (TFWP) in late May, received a response from the coffee shop itself, which indicated this message was a “misperception.”

I don’t believe a word they say.

Tim Hortons defends hiring practices, says Canadian stores are ‘always hiring locally’

Tim Hortons has responded to the claims their most recent announcement on hiring Canadians is a response to the new competition looming — instead, they say they are “always hiring locally.”

This was what Chief Corporate Officer Duncan Fulton of Tim Hortons’ parent brand, Restaurant Brands International (RBI), told the Food Professor, or Sylvain Charlebois, on his podcast, alongside Axel Schwan, President of Tim Hortons Canada and the US.

‘Utter disappointment’: Vancouver tourists increasingly noticing street disorder, open drug use

Nearly three months after the B.C. government announced a major program to boost tourism, Destination Vancouver says visitors are increasingly commenting on street disorder, open drug use, aggressive behaviour, and personal safety concerns in the city’s downtown core.

Unveiled in March, the province’s Look West strategy aims to double visitor spending to $48 billion by 2036.

Gaslighting is the default position of governments at every level in Canada.

Our country is being destroyed by our elites, non-enforcement of the law, two tiered policing and justice, mass immigration, the ruinous destruction of education system, the beat goes on.

Retailers warn they’ll gouge the poor if surveillance pricing outlawed

OTTAWA — As the Carney government signals a crackdown on surveillance pricing, major retailers are lobbying for weaker guardrails they argue are necessary for data-based personalized discounts.

But critics argue that’s a talking point used to justify a “creepy” business practice that violates people’s privacy and discriminates against the consumers who ultimately pay a higher price.

Lament for a lost generation: Young Canadians’ bleak future shames us all

Waves of interns are now making their way to Toronto’s Bay Street. They are easy to spot – young, big smiles, eager to learn and grateful for a taste of economic opportunity. You can see them in smaller cities too, heading to the regional offices of banks, insurance companies, accounting practices, technology businesses, energy organizations, and large consulting outfits. Some have delightful titles such as summer associates.

Interns believe they have a shot at success, sustaining if not surpassing the middle-class lifestyle their parents want for them. Such is, to use the words of Prime Minister Mark Carney from earlier this year, a “pleasant fiction.” For those without parental support, it is a long shot at best.

Apparently mass immigration has nothing to do with nothing!

The Canada Strong Fund is a debt-fuelled corporate slush fund

The Holy Roman Empire wasn’t an empire, or Roman, and its behaviour definitely wasn’t holy. But the title sounds impressive.

Prime Minister Mark Carney seems to be using that marketing technique from the Middle Ages with the federal government’s latest way to borrow money and hand out corporate welfare.
