Canadian businesses seek to hold on to slave labour supported supply chains for just a wee bit longer

Canadian businesses seek extension on 2024 rules targeting slavery in supply chains

Canadian industries are pushing back against the country’s planned January launch of the Modern Slavery Act, intended to fight forced labour and child labour in supply chains, as mining and apparel trade groups say the government has failed to spell out the details of the law’s requirements.

The act, which passed in May, seeks to push corporations to provide greater transparency about their supply chains in order to avoid abetting what critics say amounts to modern slavery. The new measure takes effect on Jan. 1, 2024.

However, lobby groups, including mining companies and apparel manufacturers, are warning that a perceived lack of clarity about the rules could lead to unwanted penalties and prevent critical goods from entering Canada.

Well someone has to mine rare earths under hazaourdous conditions to make those electric car batteries.

And while they’re at it they’d also like a second opinion on price fixing as there’s a lot of money to be made stealing bread from the mouths of children.

Canada is on the verge of destroying far more journalism jobs than it ever could have hoped to save.

Here’s a word of caution for policy-makers looking to help publishers retrieve some of their advertising revenue lost to web giants such as Google and Meta: Whatever you do, don’t look to Canada for inspiration.

Canada’s efforts to “defend democracy,” as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau put it, have turned out to be a counterproductive fiasco. The government hoped the Online News Act would salvage a struggling legacy news industry and become a model to be copied globally. But it is the most spectacular legislative failure in Canada’s living political memory.

Gee, soon the only media in Canada will be the CBC. How terrible for Justin!

Multiple candidates to oversee foreign interference inquiry have rejected the job: sources

OTTAWA — The Liberal government is having trouble finding a potential commissioner to oversee a possible public inquiry into foreign interference, with at least half a dozen current or retired judges having declined the offer, multiple sources have confirmed to the National Post.

Canadians pay a high price when governments ignore common sense

Shack for rent

Due to a dearth of common sense in government policy across the country, but particularly in Ottawa, Canadians are paying a high price in terms of living standards, an increased burden of government and diminished economic prospects for the future. To reverse these trends, governments must make a dramatic U-turn based on common sense and real-world evidence.

Consider, for instance, one of the top issues worrying Canadians right now — housing affordability. Every politician from coast to coast pays lip service to the need to improve housing affordability. And yet some of the actions being taken not only will fail to increase affordability but will worsen it markedly.

Canada plans new temporary foreign workers program to give ‘trusted’ employers quicker access

The federal government is rolling out a “trusted employer program” that is meant to reduce red tape and make it easier for Canadian employers to bring in temporary foreign workers to address labour and skills shortages.

In a news release Tuesday, officials said the Recognized Employer Pilot program will open for application as soon as September, first available to employers in agriculture and then to all others, starting in January.

“It’s not racist to raise questions about the impact of 500,000 immigrants a year on Canada’s infrastructure, health care and economy”

William Watson: In 2023 is it possible to have a reasoned discussion of immigration?

Marc Miller just finished five years as a federal minister working on Indigenous issues. Now, ironically, he’s minister of immigration, encouraging an influx of new Canadians many Indigenous Canadians think hasn’t served them so well.

He’s better off than the person he’s replacing, however, rising Liberal star Sean Fraser. After 21 months at immigration, Fraser is off to housing, infrastructure and communities to work on the big headaches caused for, ahem, housing, infrastructure and communities by the record number of immigrants he let in. It’s just desserts of a sort you don’t often see in politics — even if the prime minister’s recent disavowal of federal responsibility for housing, motivated more by hot-potato politics than respectful regard for the constitutional division of powers, may let Fraser off the sharpest of those three hooks.

Canada’s Sluggish Response to Chinese Political Influence

Another day, another revelation that the People’s Republic of China is engaged in political warfare against the West.

Last week, Canada arrested and charged a former officer of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, William Majcher, for aiding “the Chinese government’s efforts to identify and intimidate an individual outside the scope of Canadian law.” Worse, it appears that Mr. Majcher did not act alone, as he was granted bail “on conditions that include not communicating with another former Mountie with whom he is alleged to have conspired.”

Decoupling From China: Canada Among the Laggards

Economic decoupling from China gathered steam during the pandemic when the vulnerability of supply chains came to the fore. But Canada’s economic linkages with China haven’t diminished, despite its closest ally the United States actively doing so.

Whether it’s called decoupling or friendshoring or nearshoring, international trade expert Eric Miller says it’s primarily about reducing risk—de-risking—in trade with China and then adjusting to the impacts.

From the folks who stole bread from the mouths of children … Welcome to the Great Canadian Meat Price Fixing Scandal!

CHARLEBOIS: From one ‘cartel’ to another

We have just learned that major Canadian food companies, namely Loblaw, Metro, Maple Leaf Foods, Walmart, and Weston Bakeries, find themselves entangled in a class-action lawsuit filed in Quebec. It seems inevitable that we may soon witness a similar class-action lawsuit affecting the rest of Canada.

The lawsuit alleges that these industry giants colluded to unlawfully manipulate the price of meat, resulting in households allegedly paying more than $4 billion in unjustified excess. At the centre of the case lies a critical piece of evidence — an email dating back to March 2007, wherein the former president of Maple Leaf Foods, Michael McCain, outlines a concerning discussion with Paul Del Duca, a former senior vice-president at Metro in Ontario.

We are a Banana Republic.

Trudeau discovers housing crisis his destructive mass immigration policy created, declares himself blameless

There are simply not enough affordable places for people to live across Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday during an housing announcement in Hamilton, where he promised the federal government would work to scale up supply.

Mr. Trudeau stood alongside Mayor Andrea Horwath in Hamilton to announce a joint plan to build and repair 214 homes in the city, with Ottawa spending $45-million for four projects. The City of Hamilton will contribute $19.1-million.

“Today is about increasing housing supply,” Mr. Trudeau said. “I will be blunt as well: Housing isn’t a primary federal responsibility. It’s not something we have direct carriage of. But it is something that we can and must help with.”

What a shit.

The Liberals must fix the housing crisis, before it undermines support for immigration .. Awww too late corporate crony class the jig is up

In last week’s cabinet shuffle, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promoted Sean Fraser, one of his government’s rising stars, from immigration to housing. His job in this new portfolio is to fix the problem he contributed to in his old one.

Mr. Fraser must find a way to ease this country’s critical housing shortage, a problem the Liberal government is stoking by bringing in more than a million newcomers a year to Canada.

High levels of immigration bring growth, energy and confidence to our country. But they also bring problems. Mr. Fraser must fix the worst problem of all, or risk undermining the Canadian experiment.

Immigration benefits no one save the Corporate  and permanent political class, they love importing new slaves.

A smaller piece of the pie is all you’ll get for your labours meanwhile Trudeau and his cronies will line their pockets.

Reduced wages, shortages of housing, overwhelmed education, public tranit, healthcare and a fragmented low trust society are features not bugs.

They want you poor and afraid.

It’s time for Canada to take its foot off the immigration gas pedal

The guy who cut my hair last week taught me something about the Temporary Foreign Worker program: It’s even looser than I thought.

Fixing that, and a number of other things that aren’t quite right about the immigration system, comes down to the Trudeau government. So, don’t hold your breath.

After Sean Fraser was shuffled from Immigration Minister to Housing Minister on Wednesday, he said Canada can’t “close the door on newcomers.” As if that’s what the government’s critics are calling for. Is it possible for Canadians to discuss a serious economic issue, seriously? Or is polarizing name-calling all that our politics has left?

The TFW is a worse scam now than under Harper.

TD report predicts increased economic hardship due to Trudeau government’s mass immigration scam

If Canada’s population boom continues at its current frantic pace, interest rates will face upward pressure and the massive influx of people will significantly worsen affordability for homebuyers and renters, a new report from TD Bank warns.

And the bank’s economists are calling on the federal government to restore “balance” to its immigration policies.

That rapid growth has helped employers fill job openings and propelled Canada to become the fastest growing economy in the G7, but it is also causing “dislocations in other segments of the economy,” including the housing market, health care, social services and infrastructure, that threaten to undo the benefits, the report’s authors warn.

It’s pretty bad when even the porkers of Canada’s corporate class are saying STOP.

People can’t afford rent never mind even dream of owning a home but Trudeau always has money for Corpoarate welfare cases if it “advances” his green-scam.

‘Very concerning’: Canada’s standard of living is lagging behind its peers, report finds. What can be done?

… Hejazi, who recently wrote a book about Canada’s slouching prosperity, agreed and added that government protectionism of the country’s biggest industries is another leading factor: “Companies are only as productive as they need to be,” he said — by shutting down competition, Canada is “killing innovation” as companies grow complacent.

“If you look at the three major industries in Canada: Telecom, air transportation and finance — I can go further and say dairy and even grocery — all of these industries are extensively protected from competition,” Hejazi said. As a result, these companies “don’t need to move the needle” in order to pull in profits.

Canada’s standard of living falling behind other advanced economies: TD

A new economic report from TD says Canada is falling behind the standard-of-living curve compared to its peers.

According to the report published last week, Canada has been lagging behind the U.S. and other advanced economies in terms of standard of living performance (or real GDP per capita), despite recent years of “headline growth.”

“Economic growth does not necessarily equate to economic prosperity,” TD economist Marc Ercolao wrote

I don’t understand how anyone could have misinterpreted  Justin’s Trudeau’s  cornerstone policy of “Mass Immigration Good”.  It’s clearly working as now there’s a smaller piece of the pie for everyone! Journalists and Bankers just don’t understand economics.

Below are just a few of Justin’s positive initiatves deliberately overlooked by Canada’s hostile press.

He’s ruining the resource industry and destroying livliehoods across the entire economic spectrum as a personal sacrifice!

He’s imposing onerous taxes that he assures us will change the weather in China.

He’s making it mandatory that everyone drives Electric Vehicles while ensuring Canada lacks the energy infrastructure to support them. Well actually Justin and his friends will have EV’s just not the rest of us but that’s OK cause we’ll sing songs of praise while crammed like cattle on the BIG Electric Bus!

He’s managed Canada’s international stature to “Pariah” status as we are now considered a deadbeat laughing stock and security risk by our former closest allies.

He’s made life better for Canada’s China Class by subcontracting security and policing to the CCP in the name of efficiency.

He’s made it clear that Canada stands for the sexual mutilation of children and the on demand surrender of your kids to perverts of all stripes.

He’s made Canada the world’s biggest DEI experiment by destroying our nation’s heritage and values in the name of diversity & multiculturalism all while importing the 3rd World with all its prejudices, hate for western values & conflicts.

He’s making good on his promise of equality for all by ensuring most Canadians can’t afford food and shelter.

And remember it was Justin Trudeau who gave us 10 Dollar Butter!
