Three Chinese Automakers Confirmed for Canada Entry by Year-End | EV

Three of China's largest automakers are moving toward their first consumer vehicle sales in Canada by the year's end, with certification work and retail network development already underway.

I do believe this was one of the main desired outcomes from our recent canola deal with China, it might pay off.

By crossing the floor to the Liberals and helping them toward getting a majority she will be in a much better place to ensure public servants are forced to take much-needed indigenous awareness training from the sole-sourced company she incidentally stands to benefit from monetarily.

In the famous words of Bob Peck in Jurassic Park; clever girl

In any other set of circumstances, that's simply called corruption. Blatant corruption.

Mandatory training for ALL government workers, probably at $80 to $100 a head...

Provided by a company she started up on her own & probably works alone. (Unless there is a huge demand for this kind of training outside of government that I'm just totally unaware of...)

...

Directing government policy to be such that financially benefits her personally...she'll fit right in with LPC.

She already does.

Like the announcements that are coming tomorrow?

There's that word again.

I truly think a big problem for PMMC will be the party he ran for and the MPs around him.

And traditionally, cabinet ministers would resign and stand for by-election upon appointment to cabinet, so this concept isn't totally unprecedented.

Not quite exact. They didn't do it by tradition, they did it as a matter of law. It was called Independence of Parliament Act, which was repealed in the early 1970's under Pearson for the 'official reason" that ministers were always re-elected so it was a waste. That is about the same time they started to introduce nomination of party leaders by American style conventions as opposed to selection by caucus.

Guess who the Parliament's independence was supposed to be protected from: the executive branch. In those days, MP's knew that their role, regardless of party affiliation, was to represent their constituencies in scrutinizing the executive and keeping it from excesses by control of the budget in particular. Therefore, once elected to represent the people in watching the government, it made sense, if selected for ministerial functions, that you would have to be re-elected by the same people to show they were OK with the change of function.

Moreover, in those days, party affiliation was just that, an affiliation. That is you presented yourself to the public as leaning towards a given party's view of the world, but not exclusively and party's were not electoral machine requiring obedience in those days. In a given riding, at the time of elections, you could have two or more candidates who claimed affiliation to the same party standing for Parliament, so character and popularity of the candidate mattered.

Based on working with someone connected to a person who was in the Middle East when the war kicked-off, it was the CAF that dropped the ball on this. There is no way the PM is tracking where every CAF member outside of Canada is at all times. The CAF seems to have failed to consider that there was a chance of Iran attacking other countries, and failed to pull people out where they could.

I would hope the PM has better things to do than approve every CFTPO.

No, that's not right. Ministerial by-elections were abolished in 1931 by the Bennett government, long before Pearson. And Pearson retired in 1968, so he couldn't have been involved in repealing something in the 70s.

I'd argue the buck stops with the MND or CDS, and the question needs to be asked, when was the PM informed? and by who?

Will they blame this on the Iran war, like they did with housing shortages?

"Surprise"... yeah ok. Funny that the media uses that language...

Overall, Friday’s jobs report marked the largest monthly decline in employment since January, 2022, when the economy was facing stringent public-health rules during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ouch. Maybe PM Mark "values" Carney just needs more time.

Hey, it's only been one year since his Coronation. Give all these big projects that's he's fast-tracked a chance to drum up some jobs. You know, all those projects that he wrote down on his little list? At least half of those must have advanced in some way by now? MOU's make me laugh and people are eating it up because they are insanely naive. Carney's favorite political tool. They essentially say "we CAN do things, we will make it LOOK like we are doing things by signing this, but we probably won't do the thing".

We are also dealing with an active US trade war, ill wait to see march numbers to see the effects of China lifting many of its tariffs. Among other things that happened towards the end of Feb that we would see the effects of in march. We can make fun on MOUs but its a very business minded approach to start getting deals.

SCOTUS ruling the tariffs being illegal hasnt filled played out either. The damage is done but how can we recover?

How very Canadian Snr Officer-ish. When there is failure blame your subordinates.

It is only real when.....what exactly?

I can't believe that you are falling for this. Obviously contracts are lame, and the tool of libcuck elites.. Trips abroad should include cargo planes to bring home tangible proof, like bags of money, boatloads of weapons, thousands of immediate jobs, and a chicken in every pot.

When is a fair amount of time to expect deliverables ? I just want to know so I can set my clock.
