    Ford CEO Jim Farley laments he can’t fill 5,000 mechanic jobs

    I thought that’s what the Latino’s role in the US economy was? This push into the STEM area, coupled with the gutting of the trade school system in the US (and Canada) has lead to this. Also, why am I not hearing all the Feminist’s lamenting about the lack of Female incentives/opportunities in...

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    Oops - math mistake - 3% of 150 billion would be 4.5billion EURO or 7.2 billion CAD. So the SAF program would be 50% larger than the F35 current gains for CDN business. If we 1.5% (half the current 3% total value of a F35 that we are getting now), under SAFE that would be 2.25 billion EURO or...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    Well, I can tell you from first hand experience back in 93-94 into early 95 when I was flying into Schiphol airport in A'dam as a university student in Belgium and the Netherlands that I never had my CDN passport stamped once. When I'd get up to passport control and start handing over my...

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    Yes, I'm very aware of this. I'm just pointing out that the F35 is really a bit of a gravy train for CDN businesses. 5$ billion in revenue across the remaining production run of the F35 is massive. The SAFE programme is great to allow CDN businesses to expand their customer base and reach but...

    Only if the employment within the school is directly related to the field of study undertaken by the student. This would fall inline with what the US schools allow for their foreign students. They do NOT allow foreign students to work in the cafe, the bookstore, in an Admin role at the...

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    Let's put this into perspective. Earlier I did a piece of how much value Canadian companies are receiving currently on the work they are doing on the F35 program. Its about 3% of the value of a F35. I ball parked the value of a F35 at 80m USD. The 3% is approximately 2.4$m USD or or 3.36$m...

    Pipelines, energy and natural resources

    Do you mean, 'not work at all when a student here in Canada.' If so, I can buy into that. But in addition, the universities need to provide accommodation for all 4 yrs as a student during their degree, to the point that they legislative that foreign students must live on campus for their...

    You’re right, a pro business guy who ran a multi billion corporation is totally against development in Canada.

    Political impacts of Ukraine war

    I’d love to see them hit and sink a number out east, off Vladivostok. Throw the entire shadow oil fleet to North Korea in a hissy fit.

    So many people forget that Mulroney was the best 'green' PM this country ever had. He did more for the environment in Canada than any other PM has done and he did it as a pro-business, PC PM. I view Carney as nothing more than an old school 1988 Progressive Conservative.

    Housing needs to be addressed ASAP as well. Childcare might be tackled by maybe providing CCA, CDP, ECE funding for CAF spouses and then hiring them directly.

    Canadian River Class Destroyer Megathread

    We point fingers at the Americans and their pork barrel politics and laugh at them. You look at what the Irving family has managed to do over the last 15yrs with the NSS and the sheer amount of free money they've been given, its no real difference than the US. They talk in billions while we...
