Opposition Parties Demand Assurances Locals Will Have Jobs Protected at New EV Plants

The Conservatives and the New Democrats have both called on the Liberal government to assure local Canadian workers that their jobs will be protected at new electric vehicle plants, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a $15 billion deal with Honda on April 25.

Tory MP and industry critic Rick Perkins commented earlier this week on foreign workers being employed in EV plants that have been heavily subsidized by Canadian taxpayers, citing a report from Canada’s Building Trades Union (CBTU) that claimed foreign replacement workers were being employed at electric battery plants in southern Ontario.

Lower Income Canadians Face Highest Marginal Effective Tax Rates: Report

Canadian families with modest incomes face the highest marginal effective tax rates, with those earning between $30,000 and $60,000 hit hardest, according to a newly released report.

Marginal effective tax rate (METR) measures the personal income taxes paid both federally and provincially as well as the reductions in government benefits linked to income.

Households earning $30,000 to $60,000 face marginal effective tax rates near or above 50 per cent, said the report published by the Fraser Institute.

Honda deal is good publicity for Liberals, but who will buy all those EVs?

The largest deal in Canadian history. That’s how Premier Doug Ford has described a recently inked agreement between Ontario, Ottawa and auto giant Honda, officially announced Thursday.

Under the terms of the agreement, Honda will pump billions into building an electric vehicle assembly plant. For the automaker, the plant would be the first of its kind in Ontario; for the province, the third after automakers Stellantis and Volkswagen inked similar agreements last year. In touting the virtues of the agreement with Honda, the Premier said, “everyone’s going to benefit.”

But that’s not true. Not everyone. The move saddles Canadians with a product for which enthusiasm is tepid at best.

GOLDSTEIN: When it comes to Jew hatred, the Liberals are paralyzed

Today, a simple question for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Does he agree with his anti-Islamophobia adviser, Amira Elghawaby, that the only problem with what we’ll laughably call a “pro-Palestinian” demonstration in Ottawa last weekend was that, as she put it on ‘X’, “a few individual protesters engaged in problematic speech?”

With capital gains change, the Liberals grasp the tax reform nettle again

In the fall of 2021, the editors of the Canadian Tax Journal devoted several dozen pages to the “hotly debated” topic of capital gains.

On balance, the editors wrote, their selected contributors were in favour of raising the inclusion rate for capital gains — the share of an individual’s capital gains that are subject to income tax rates. But they acknowledged that putting such a change into practice would not be easy.

“Opposition to capital gains tax increases among affected taxpayers is apt to be vociferous,” Michael Smart and Sobia Hasan Jafry wrote in one of the featured papers, “precisely because such a reform would act like a lump ­sum tax that would be difficult or impossible for taxpayers to avoid in the long run by changing their behaviour.”

Freeland Doesn’t Care Housing Plan Unrealistic or Unsafe

Freeland Dismisses Concerns Housing Plan Unrealistic or Unsafe

As the federal government looks to spend billions to increase the supply of housing across the country, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland dismissed concerns that the ambitious building program was unrealistic or unsafe.

Ms. Freeland spoke to reporters in Mount Pearl, Newfoundland, on April 23 and was asked about how the federal government expects to build 10,000 homes in Newfoundland and Labrador per year when the province’s home builders association has claimed that in the best year of construction, just 3,300 homes were built.

Islamophobia czar Amira Elghawaby is unfit for office

An ugly scene unfolded on Saturday, as dozens of anti-Israel demonstrators clogged the streets of downtown Ottawa, shouting genocidal slogans like “long live Oct. 7” and “from the river to the sea.”

The open intolerance on display in our nation’s capital played into a broader trend on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border: protesters across the continent are increasingly dropping any pretense of civility and behaving in an overtly hateful manner. This is a trend that has no doubt been abetted by leaders who have overlooked, or downplayed, the growing hatred.

Employers boost recruitment of temporary foreign workers, despite softer labour market

Canadian companies ramped up their recruitment of temporary foreign workers last year, even as the labour market softened and the unemployment rate drifted higher.

During the last quarter of 2023, employers were approved to fill more than 81,000 positions through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, according to figures shared by the federal government with The Globe and Mail. It was easily the largest quarter for approvals since Ottawa made several employer-friendly changes to the program in the spring of 2022.

Isn’t it swell that Trudeau outsourced immigration intake so his corporate welfare cronies can depress wages!

Oh Brother … Star wets itself because Poilievre met with folks who hate Trudeau

Pierre Poilievre is courting support from groups that spew hate. Is this really the alternative to Justin Trudeau we want?

Perhaps Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre was feeling too comfortable.

After all, his party is ahead of the Liberals by 20 points in public opinion polls. The poll aggregator 338Canada.com has the Conservatives winning a 207-seat majority in the House of Commons, if an election were held today — a Brian Mulroney-sized landslide, and that’s without the Bloc Québécois’ seats.

The Conservatives, according to Abacus Data, lead across all age brackets, education brackets, even gender lines.

Trudeau’s media is getting desperate. At this stage outside of Toronto and Ottawa you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who likes Junior.

The Diagalonians should sue the Star.

RCMP documents contradict mainstream media claims Diagalon is a ‘far-right threat’

Internal RCMP documents reveal law enforcement concluded controversial Diagolon does “not pose a criminal or national security threat,” contrary to the Public Safety Minister’s remarks.

Kevin Vuong: Justin Trudeau is sacrificing young people’s futures for short-term political gain

Listening to Budget 2024 brought forth a flood of memories from my past as an entrepreneur before being asked to run for office. At the time, I was under 30 and, along with my business co-founders, imbued with the spirit that most startups are fuelled by: unbridled passion, perseverance and a desire to succeed in a system where hard work pays off. As an MP, I see the same traits in young people today.

After the Inquiry, Will Anyone Take Responsibility for Allowing Foreign Interference in Elections?

Who will fall on his sword after the public inquiry into election interference?

Probably everyone has heard of the Japanese samurai practice of “harakiri,” also called seppuku, or “falling on one’s sword.” This action, which apparently dates back to Roman times, refers to a ritual suicide by a soldier for something done wrong. The phrase is now used to describe anyone, most notably a high-level government official, who resigns after having taken responsibility for a mistake.

No one.

Guilbeault defends ‘partnership’ with Chinese Communist Party environment council

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault has defended his “partnership” with the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) environmental board.

In August 2023, the federal Conservative Party demanded Guilbeault cut ties with the China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development (CCICED), which is chaired by Ding Xuexiang, the former chief of staff to President Xi Jinping.

In Trudeau’s Canada people are more likely to eat food past its best-before date.

Grocery price inflation may finally be slowing across Canada, but as some food costs remain high, a new report has found many are open to consuming “risky foods” despite the potential health risks.

The report, set to be released Thursday by Dalhousie University’s Agri-Food Analytics Lab but provided to Global News in advance, found 58 per cent of respondents said higher prices made them more inclined to eat food close to or past its best-before date. About 37 per cent said their consumption habits haven’t changed.

Hamas Fave Justin Trudeau slams Pierre Poilievre over endorsement by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau intensified his criticism of Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre on Wednesday, when he linked his main challenger for power with an American conspiracy theorist who infamously spread lies about the mass murder of schoolchildren.

Trudeau delivered the broadside at a news conference in Oakville, when he was asked about a video circulating online in which Poilievre is shown telling people at an anti-carbon price demonstration that everything the prime minister says is “bulls—t.”

Canada bet big on immigration. Now it’s hitting the brakes.

KITCHENER, Ontario — Canada’s broad support for immigration, which Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said is necessary to counter an aging labor force and low fertility rates, has set the country apart.

The United States’ closest neighbor is growing faster than its Group of Seven peers, as well as developing and more fertile countries such as India. In 2023, the population here grew by more than 1.2 million people, up 3.2 percent from the year before — the highest annual increase since 1957. About 98 percent came from immigration.
