The Department of National Defense of Canada has announced a new military assistance package that will include the transfer of armored vehicles.
This was reported by the official website of the Department of National Defense of Canada.
Canada’s Minister of National Defense David J. McGuinty, who took part in the 28th meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group (UDCG) and the NATO Defense Ministers meeting in Brussels, announced a new military assistance package for Ukraine.
Here’s a bold prediction: Canada Post won’t pay back a dime of the $1-billion bailout it’s taking from taxpayers.
The federal government gave Canada Post up to $1 billion in “repayable funding” to “prevent insolvency.”
What does Mark Carney really think about Canada’s once and future relationship with the United States? More importantly, does it matter?
During the election, Carney drew applause from Official Canada when he declared: “the old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military security cooperation is over.” It went down so well, he repeated the line in his election night victory speech.
Ontario’s housing minister is conceding that the number of new homes in the province is stuttering and his government won’t be able to hand out incentive rewards to many cities for hitting their targets, but says he hopes new legislation will help.
On Friday, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing Rob Flack accepted that the number of new homes in Ontario was lagging far behind the targets the province set itself, calling the situation “a major crisis” across Canada.
The bankruptcy receivers want to auction the founding document signed by Charles II in 1670. Others say it belongs to the public.
The end came a little bit early for the sprawling Hudson’s Bay Company store in downtown Ottawa on Sunday when the oldest company in North America stopped trading after 355 years.
At about 5 o’clock, I watched as the doors were locked about an hour ahead of schedule. There was little point in holding out for the final hour. Aside from heavily discounted jewelry, which was brought in for the liquidation sale, there was almost no merchandise left on the store’s five remaining sales floors. Earlier in the day, the leftovers had been priced at $1.
You may have heard about President Trump’s proposed “Golden Dome” missile defense shield.
But I have come to realize recently that that is not enough.
We need to build a solid dome across the entire United States, perhaps made of thick plexiglass and securely fastened at the coasts and borders.
MPs in the House of Commons have unanimously passed a Bloc Québécois bill that would block any future trade agreements from altering Canada’s dairy, egg and poultry quotas, reigniting debate over the limits of supply management protections in international negotiations.
Bill C-202 prohibits the federal government from making trade commitments that would affect supply-managed sectors.
That is one powerful cartel.
The cost of living and affordability remain top of mind for Canadians, so it’s critical to understand how taxes affect our household finances.
Canadians pay many different taxes (income taxes, sales taxes, fuel taxes, property taxes, etc.) so it can be hard to know how much you pay in total each year. While some of these taxes are visible – -for instance, you can check your income tax return to see how much you pay in personal income taxes – -many taxes are hidden or less visible.
Canada’s prime minister, Mark Carney, has defended his decision to invite India’s prime minister, Narendra Modi, to the upcoming G7 summit in Alberta, despite the conclusion of Canada’s federal police’s that the murder of a prominent Sikh activist in British Columbia was orchestrated by the “highest levels” of the Indian government.
Carney declined to answer reporters’ questions over whether he believed Modi had a role in the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar – a killing on Canadian soil that shattered relations between the two countries.
“There is a legal process that is literally under way and quite advanced in Canada, and it’s never appropriate to make comments with respect to those legal processes,” he said on Friday. Four Indian nationals living in Canada have been charged with Nijjar’s murder.
China, India, Palestine there is no slimy entity Carney won’t chat up if it means a profit.
A driver who has racked up 32 driving prohibitions or suspensions, as well as 16 24-hour driving bans, failed to convince a British Columbia judge he should get a lighter sentence than normal for drunk driving because more than six months in jail could get him deported to India.
OTTAWA – The American ambassador to Canada is pushing back on Ottawa’s travel advice, saying his country doesn’t search phones at the border and arguing some Americans travelling here are having a tough time.
“We welcome Canadians to come in and invest, to spend their hard-earned Canadian dollars at U.S. businesses,” U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra told The Canadian Press in an interview Friday.
“If a Canadian has had a disappointing experience coming into the United States, I’m not denying that it happened, but I’m saying it’s an isolated event and it is not a pattern.”
… The mayor of Niagara Falls, Jim Diodati, said his city is proud to open its doors to other Canadians in their time of need. But he also said he’s frustrated no one from the federal government told him such an unprecedented influx of evacuees would arrive at the beginning of peak tourist season.
Niagara Falls, with its large stock of hotel rooms, is already hosting around 1,500 refugee claimants – who rely on social services, soup kitchens, food banks and local charities – under a temporary hotel housing system designed by Ottawa at a cost of $208 a day per person. There’s little economic benefit except for hotel owners in a town that has been built around tourism, he said.
Industry Minister Mélanie Joly is indicating that a crackdown on dumping of cheap foreign steel into Canada is coming soon– a move that will help cushion the blow for Canada’s big three steel producers that are grappling with U.S President Donald’s Trump’s 50-per-cent tariffs.
Algoma Steel Group Inc. chief executive Michael Garcia has argued on multiple occasions that mills from China, South Korea, Malaysia, India, Vietnam, the Middle East and Turkey regularly dump steel into Canada and make it nearly impossible for the company to compete in its home market. In meetings with federal politicians over the past few few days, he’s pleaded for Canada to immediately place tariffs on all of these countries.
If government were reliably a force for good — always benevolent, never abusive — we would not need constitutional protections for freedoms of speech, movement, religion, assembly, or association. We wouldn’t need to worry about the abuse of state power. We could ignore Lord Acton’s famous warning that “power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
But, we should learn from history.
OTTAWA — While more Canadians are planning to travel this summer, U.S. destinations are not on the itinerary.
