Canada’s new tariff on electric vehicles from China will reverberate through a multitude of industries and could lead to repercussions well beyond the electric vehicle market, according to analysts.
The 100 per cent tariff on imports of Chinese-made EVs (and some hybrids), including cars, buses, trucks and delivery vehicles, takes effect on Tuesday after a 30-day consultation period over the summer. A 25 per cent surtax on steel and aluminum imports from China will kick in on Oct. 15.
A gang forced 16 victims to work at either the fast-food restaurant or the factory – which supplied Asda, Co-op, M&S, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Waitrose.
Well-established signs of slavery, including paying the wages of four men into one bank account, were missed while the victims from the Czech Republic were exploited over more than four years.
McDonald’s UK said it had improved systems for spotting “potential risks”, while the British Retail Consortium said its members would learn from the case.

Chinese-language media in this country are “dominated” by CCP “narratives and censorship of pro-democracy voices,” according to a top secret federal memo disclosed by the Commission on Foreign Interference.
The four-page memo from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service said CCP agents used “economic incentives” and other tactics to influence coverage by Chinese-language media in Canada. CSIS counted one million Canadian followers on the Chinese-language WeChat platform alone.
Buying a house may remain out of reach for many Canadians for the foreseeable future, with mortgage costs unlikely to fall enough to offset lofty home prices and weak spending power, economists and real estate agents say.
Even with expectations that the Bank of Canada will keep cutting interest rates in the coming months, the issue of home affordability — which has strangled Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s poll numbers — is unlikely to fade before the next election.
The mandate for the Liberal minority government ends at the end of October 2025, but an election could come well before then, with the Conservative opposition spoiling to end Trudeau’s nine-year run at the top.
No Prime Minister in Canada’s history even approaches the harm done by Trudeau.
Housing affordability, the destruction of Canadian society from the LPC’S evil mass immigration scam, the criminalization of citizens, the unmitigated anti-white racism of its woke policies, Soviet style 5 Year Plan economy ruining green scams and of course the lies, the constant stream of lies about any matter large or small.

A memorial service for Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Michigan featured praise for prominent terror figures as well as denunciations of the United States’ “terrorism.”
On Saturday, a memorial service for slain Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah took place at the Hadi Youth Community Center in Dearborn, Michigan. The event, which was live-streamed on YouTube, featured fiery speeches from local religious leaders and activists who praised Nasrallah and Iran’s leadership while condemning America.
Dearborn is a gate to Hell.
CANADA AND America’s economies are joined at the hip. Some $2bn of trade and 400,000 people cross their 9,000km of shared border every day. Canadians on the west coast do more day trips to nearby Seattle than to distant Toronto. No wonder, then, that the two economies have largely moved in lockstep in recent decades: between 2009 and 2019 America’s GDP grew by 27%; Canada’s expanded by 25%.
Democrat Tim Walz and Republican JD Vance will meet for their one and only vice-presidential debate on Tuesday night in New York City.
While the stakes in these kind of running-mate face-offs are typically low – an undercard to the presidential main event – this one might be different.
In a tight race that could be decided by tens of thousands of votes in a handful of states, every opportunity to generate positive attention and political momentum is precious.
In 2014, Timothy Walz claimed during a Congressional hearing that he was in Hong Kong in 1989 during Tiananmen Square.
Local news reports from the time, however, show that Walz was actually back home in Nebraska.

It may be common among Canadian academics and some policymakers to identify non-Indigenous citizens of Canada as “settlers” — European-descended people who colonized the country — but most Canadians don’t see themselves that way, according to a new Leger Marketing poll.
I’m gonna go one better than the settler thing and declare myself a refugee.
DETROIT (AP) — Jeep is recalling more than 194,000 plug-in hybrid SUVs worldwide because they can catch fire with the ignition turned off.
In addition, Jeep is urging owners not to charge the SUVs and to park them outdoors and away from structures until they are repaired.
