‘Not in the Best Interests of Canada’: Business Coalition Pushes Back Against Ford & Other Premiers’ Call for Deeper Trade Ties With China

A business coalition is raising concerns about calls from some of Canada’s premiers for Ottawa to strengthen trade ties with China in response to U.S. tariffs, calling the move short-sighted and contrary to Canada’s interests.

The Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses Canada (CCMBC) issued a statement on July 23, warning that the proposal overlooks China’s record of “unfair” trade practices, human rights abuses, and interference in Canadian democracy.

U.S. Christian musician Sean Feucht is continuing his Canadian tour in spite of having to find new venues for all six shows.

The City of Vaughan, Ont., where Feucht was to have finished the first leg of the Let Us Worship: Revive in 25 tour on Sunday afternoon at the Dufferin District Park, confirmed to National Post that it had cancelled the special event permit “on the basis of health and safety as well as community standards and well-being.”

LILLEY: Ford’s plan to give asylum seekers work permits a huge mistake

Last year, more than 90,000 people made asylum claims in Ontario, and it seems Premier Doug Ford wants that number to go up.

Ford made the comments at the close of the meetings he and other premiers held this week in Huntsville.

“We will be issuing our own work permits. We aren’t going to sit around and wait for the federal government,” Ford said.

The airport introduced the program in 2017 to “reduce travel anxiety” and “enhance well-being” among passengers at the airport. It has also featured therapy dogs, according to the Vancouver International Airport (YVR) website.

This will not end well.

Lowering Canada’s voting age to 16 is her ‘top parliamentary priority,’ senator says

Kymani Wint -Future LPC Voter

OTTAWA — Now that the British government has vowed to lower its voting age to 16 by the next general election, one Canadian senator says it’s past time for Canada to do the same.

The U.K. announced last week that it would lower its voting age from 18 to 16 in a bid to strengthen British democracy and restore trust in politics.

Sen. Marilou McPhedran said the issue has been her “top parliamentary priority” since she joined the Red Chamber. She said lowering the voting age to 16 would be good for democracy and that the only arguments against it are “based on stereotypes.”
