What will Canada’s population look like in 2073? Here’s what StatCan is projecting

There could be 63 million people living in Canada by 2073, new Statistics Canada projections released on Monday show.

The new StatCan projections are a peek into the future of Canada’s rapidly evolving demographics — but, the report notes that the projections, which include several low- to high-growth scenarios “are not predictions.”

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

The movie industry that loved Americans and gave them stories they wanted has degenerated into a hateful identity cult.

Once upon a time in Hollywood, the entertainment industry was a magic kingdom. Its wizards gave the people what they wanted — tough, funny, or sensitive heroes, beautiful damsels or dames, and normal, intelligent folk attracted to one another for who they were, not what race, gender, or sexuality they brandished. Whether they dwelt in the savage past, the complex present, or the fantastic future, the characters always behaved believably enough to follow.

The Enduring American Car

What’s driving the new economy? The old economy’s gas-powered vehicles.

One of the most remarkable and unanticipated benefits of the cloud revolution has been the emergence and rapid growth of the so-called gig economy. Ubiquitous personal geo-location, itself an unheralded revolution, combined with a cloud-centric software “platform” that connects buyers and sellers, has spawned one of society’s most dynamic, free-market employment systems. Hundreds of digital platforms—from Uber and DoorDash to TaskRabbit and Rover—now serve as the marketplace for all manner of trades in goods and services that are, in nearly all cases, facilitated by gig workers. The freelance marketplace already generates more than $200 billion annually. Pew Research found that roughly one in six adults (heavily skewing to young adults), and one in four lower-income Americans, do gig work, for which many say that the income is “important or essential.”

Trudeau’s Canada: From fast food to construction, employers exploit temporary foreign workers at expense of Canadian citizens

From fast food to construction, employers turn more and more to temporary foreign workers

Businesses’ demand for temporary foreign workers has surged across the country in recent years, with employers given the green light to hire more than double the people through the federal program last year as they did five years ago.

The program is designed to provide short-term relief to employers as a last resort, but has been scrutinized for its potential knock-on effects to the broader economy and the vulnerable position in which it can place workers.

Last year, employers were cleared to hire 239,646 temporary foreign workers, about the population of Regina. That’s up from 108,988 in 2018, according to figures published by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC).

Housing shortages, depressed wages, racist hiring practices, health care services among many others stretched beyond breaking. Thank Trudeau.

Canada takes step toward tariffs on Chinese EVs by announcing consultation

The federal government took a step Monday toward imposing tariffs on Chinese electric vehicle imports by announcing a 30-day consultation period to examine Beijing’s trade practices in the EV sector.

Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland made the announcement in Vaughan, Ont. She said that the consultations, which begin July 2, will help the government craft its response to Beijing.

I bet the initial consultation recommends additional consultation ad infinitum.

Violent Pro-Hamas Mob Descends on L.A. Synagogue; Mayor Orders Police to Stand Down

Imagine…

Imagine if the KKK went into South Central Los Angeles and tried to block parishioners from going into the First A.M.E. Church and then got violent. How fast would the police be there to arrest the agitators? How long would it be before cities across the nation were protesting and marching to demand police protection and the arrest of all KKK supporters? How many demonstrations would happen nationwide to empower (justifiably) black churches and demand their protection?

Majority of millennials, Gen Z don’t support Trudeau’s internet regulation plans: poll

A new Postmedia-Leger poll contains a stark warning for any political party gunning for Gen Z and millennial voters in the next federal election: be wary of a heavy hand in trying to regulate the internet.

The poll, released Monday, finds that less than half of Canadians aged 18 to 39 say they “support the government’s new rules to regulate the web, podcasts, streaming and social media to restrict offensive speech and online harms.” Only 44 per cent say they support the initiatives. The majority either disagree with the policies (39 per cent) or don’t know (16 per cent).
