‘I don’t blame them,’ says instructor after Quebec requires new Ontario truckers to take exam

Members of Ontario’s trucking industry say they understand why Quebec will require inexperienced drivers from Ontario to take practical exams, citing concerns over insufficient training.

“I don’t blame them. It’s unfortunate,” said Gus Rahim, president of Ontario Truck Driving School.

Some schools that offer training in Ontario — the first province to introduce mandatory entry-level training for truckers — have been found by Ontario’s auditor general to be cutting corners, and Rahim says that’s been a serious concern for the reputation of all schools and for road safety.

Chinese EVs arrive in Canada … ready to mine your personal data with Carney government approval!

A new automaker has entered Canada’s electric vehicle market giving some consumers looking to purchase a new vehicle more options.

Lotus, owned by the Chinese Geely Group, recently shipped its first Eletre EVs to Canada under a Canada-China deal signed in January. The premium SUV, made in Wuhan, is the first Chinese-owned and Chinese-built EV available for sale in Canada. The high-end vehicle starts at $119,000, while the fully loaded model sells for $159,000.

… Jody Thomas, Canada’s former National Security and Intelligence Advisor to prime minister Justin Trudeau, said that by law the Chinese state has access to any data gathered by the EVs.

Just the cost of doing business with the Chicoms.

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.

GOLDSTEIN: Oil sands carbon storage is another $20-billion boondoggle

One of the things preventing Canada from becoming an energy superpower in an energy-hungry world is that our federal government keeps doing stupid stuff.

Justin Trudeau did it for a decade, undermining Canada’s growth by making it economically impossible to build oil pipelines without the government buying them.

Corporate watchdog was still accepting complaints as Carney abruptly closed it down

A corporate watchdog was still accepting complaints right up until the point Prime Minister Mark Carney announced its dissolution — seemingly out of nowhere — despite saying the decision to discontinue the office was made “months” earlier.

The Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise (CORE) was introduced under former prime minister Justin Trudeau in 2019 to investigate potential human rights abuses committed by Canadian companies operating abroad.

Bishnoi gang leader made threats to Brampton family, set up B.C. murder, U.S. court documents say

Imprisoned Indian gang leader Lawrence Bishnoi provided a team of killers with a photograph and multiple addresses to set up the murder of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar outside a temple in Surrey, B.C., according to a U.S. court filing.

Nijjar is described in the court papers as H.S.N., and called “a prominent religious and political leader from the Punjab state of India who was living in British Columbia.”

Canada’s Ukraine aid tops $26.7 billion with another $925 million gift

Canada’s total commitment to Ukraine has surpassed $26.7 billion after Prime Minister Mark Carney announced an additional $925 million in military assistance during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Ankara on Tuesday.

Canada has not a single problem too big for Carney to ignore.

I am deeply grateful to Canada for its new support package – a very substantial one worth $900 million. Our first concern is more air defense. Protecting lives is the main thing, and Russia's ballistic missile attacks, along with its other missile and drone strikes, are terror… pic.twitter.com/49JOIyIaDi

LAU: Federal government’s footprint growing despite declining headcount

According to new data from the secretariat of the Treasury Board, which oversees federal government spending and operations, the federal public service headcount shrank by more than 12,000 (or about 3.5%) in the past year. This reduction is consistent with the government’s aim, established by Prime Minister Mark Carney, to reduce the public service headcount by around 30,000 by 2028/29.

Number of new submarines still undecided as Canada begins talks with German builder

OTTAWA — Canada might not buy a full slate of 12 submarines through its new partnership with Germany and Norway because of factors like advancing technology in autonomous underwater machines, says the government’s secretary of state for defence procurement.

In an interview with the Star on Wednesday, Stephen Fuhr said the government has not settled on how many 212CD submarines it will ultimately buy as negotiations begin on the purchase of “up to” 12 of the modern diesel-electric craft from German-based shipbuilder TKMS.

Canada Tells US There’s ‘No Basis’ for Forced Labour Tariffs

Ottawa told Washington its safeguards against imports made with forced labour are robust enough as the threat of additional U.S. tariffs looms.

The Canadian government filed an official response with the United States Trade Representative (USTR) on July 6, the deadline for doing so.

“Canada respectfully submits that there is no basis for the imposition of additional Section 301 duties on Canadian goods,” says the document. It argues Canada has an existing prohibition against forced labour goods and has introduced new legislative measures to reinforce the regime.

Margareta Dovgal: Canada’s tumbling dollar is a symptom of Liberal mismanagement

As a university student in Vancouver a decade ago, I’d regularly hit up the Warehouse, an ultra-budget pub because they offered an enticing $5 burger or plate of pasta. I went back recently, and when I saw that the same items today run around $12, I felt something between shock and bereavement.

The average wages of Canadians certainly didn’t double. Canadians are earning about $1,300 a week, up roughly a third since 2016. That bump has been swallowed up, as everything has become more expensive — groceries alone have risen just as much. The asking rent on a Vancouver one-bedroom has, just like the burger, more than doubled. I do love to reminisce about the $800/month rent I landed for a two-bedroom back in 2013, split with a roommate. And then, I look at the $3,000 I pay today, and I can only grimace.

Trump has ‘won the argument’ on NATO defence spending, Carney says at summit

NATO countries are bolstering their militaries after U.S. President Donald Trump “won the argument” on defence spending, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Wednesday.

Trump has long said allies don’t spend enough on defence and that the U.S. has carried more than its fair share of NATO’s defence spending burden.

Carney told reporters in Turkey on the last day of the summit that Trump is looking to shift that burden – something former U.S. president Barack Obama had sought as well.

🚨 UPDATE: NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has just stunned the world, telling all allies to "ADMIT TRUMP WAS RIGHT"

"The alliance that has leaned TOO HEAVILY on U.S. muscle is building its own — and buying American."

Priced at Zero: What Beijing Pays for Operating in Canada

OTTAWA — In late June Taiwan authorities arrested three tech executives over the alleged diversion of roughly $22 million in Nvidia AI servers bound for China. Taiwan’s President Lai Ching-te put forward new national security laws and created a new website where citizens can safely report PRC spies to authorities. Recently a Taiwan court sentenced a former spy named Lu Chi-hsien to more than 12 years in prison for leaking top-secret information to China.

Mark Carney pitches Canada as a northern NATO power: ‘The Arctic is a front’

Canada will help lead a NATO defence force along the Arctic “front” as part of the military alliance’s efforts to expand security and protect against Russia in the High North.

But the announcement, by Prime Minister Mark Carney, comes as the fate of another ice-covered territory — Greenland — is once again cast into doubt by U.S. President Donald Trump.

We have a lot of announcements, that should get us to Moscow I bet.
