Yeah, unfortunately we're investing tens of billions into EV manufacturing. Another major investment from Siemens was announced just this morning. If we drop those very justified tariffs, we won't have an EV industry in Canada anymore. As long as the Chinese government is heavily subsidizing BYD research and production, tariffs are appropriate to balance the playing field. Otherwise our nacent industry will get smothered in the crib.
Or they know the state of the current airframes, and know we've already waffled on this to the point that any further changes are going to cause a delay that would result in a loss in operational capability, potentially for years. As much as I'd like to see us drop the F-35 on general principal, there is no magical fighter jet dealership where we can go pick something else up in any reasonable timeframe. We could accept the first batch and try cancelling the rest, to be replaced at some future date with something else, but for a small airforce like the RCAF, that presents operational challenges as well. I'd say renegotiate the deal. Get more jobs and a skilled workforce out of it. Lockheed is already offering, given the global drop in demand for their products. But for future purchases, we're either going to have to make our own or buy European.
I'd shorten it to "What do you call doordash for Hooters?", but very nice!
I can see the difference in my pantry versus what is on the grocery store shelves today. Tins that used to proudly state Product of USA Imported by some company in Mississauga ON, now only mentions the importer and hides the country of origin. Evidently many American companies are ashamed to be associated with their own country.
No, you can rinse your balls as well.
Treblinka?
"That's called blinking, boys!"
He was popular enough to be their mayor until he decided not to run for a fourth term, and Calgary has generally not been adverse to voting NDP before, so I'd say its Nenshi's race to lose.
Better dead than spread.
Every populist comes into power talking about how they are going to end the government gravy train, and every one of them discovers two things: first, you aren't going to find the minimal levels of waste from the thousand foot view at the top, and two, there is no waste when the money is spent and taxed in the country. If we want to fund new initiatives, we need more taxes on those who can afford it. Our highest personal tax rate was at a low of 70% until 1982, and was an anemic 28% by 1988. Want to make Canada great again? Time to take a page from tax history.
