It looks like Canada's new public safety minister was helping Tamil Tiger terrorists come to Canada. Is anyone surprised?

and the incompetent moron couldn't even answer questions on our gun laws
he couldn't name the classification, you know the one's the woke Liberals are banning, taking away
or the type of licence you need, have needed for decades
someone had to hand him a note with the answers on it
talking about clowns, go read about the judge who didn't give a pedo jail time for child porography cause
he didn't have enough of it, yes, apparently quantity is important when it comes to the sexual exploitation of children

City of Burnaby to apologize to Chinese Canadians for discrimination
The city has scheduled an event for the formal apology on Nov. 15, joining Vancouver and New Westminster
https://vancouversun.com/news/local...ize-chinese-canadians-for-past-discrimination
Apology for restricted land sales and property ownership. Reciprocally, perhaps Chinese would like to apologise for indiscriminate breeding continuing today undermining all environmental concerns.

Site of G7 Kananaskis located off highway between Banff National Park and Calgary. Google won't give any information on government infrastructure at Kananaskis beyond a picnic ground venue. Now government's secret about globalist infrastructure at Kananaskis out in open I expect passing motorists can stop for heated convenient free clean washrooms in future.
I have ridden my motorcycle past the Kananaskis lodge a few times but never stopped in at it. The Highwood Pass on the road that goes by the lodge is a popular route to ride on.
The BC Federation of Labour, BC Building Trades and BC Ferry & Marine Workers’ Union all criticized BC Ferries and the government for a billion-dollar deal with the brutal, hostile and authoritarian regime.
BC Ferries said it was the best value, and that North Vancouver-based Seaspan shipyard did not bid. Seaspan has said it is already at-capacity with work for the Canadian Coast Guard and military.
“But instead, BC Ferries has opted to send hundreds of millions of dollars overseas and is investing in a country known for poor safety standards and abysmal working conditions. A country that has also imposed tariffs on many of our local agricultural food products, increasing the costs of food for everyday Canadians.
“This decision does not reflect our values as Canadians.”
Transportation Minister Mike Farnworth has said he’s unable to intervene because BC Ferries is independent.
That defence has failed to gain traction because the government is the sole shareholders of BC Ferries, provides annual funding without which the corporation could not function, holds the service contract that enables sailings, controls the two boards of governance, and installed both the CEO and current board chair as allies of the premier.
For the NDP, the true cost appears to be a political drubbing for failing to live up to its buy-B.C., Team-Canada, build-local rhetoric, and for a lack of leadership to intervene in a problem at BC Ferries it could reverse, if it wanted to.

Please, Honourable Eby. The Trudeau Liberals caved on tradition of granting marine vessel contracts to Quebec and Nova Scotia. Nobody saw what was coming or didn't say anything. Prior to the Spirit Class ferries made in Germany I saw a placard in one coastal ferry to the effect the entire BC Ferries fleet, but one small vessel made in Germany, made in British Columbia.
Yes, Premier Eby. I know we need to build an extra shipyard somewhere to pull this off. Think a properly trained maintenance crew can keep existing ferries running properly a couple of years longer than anticipated with morale boosting knowledge of how their work builds a better more prosperous Canada. Thank you, sir have a good day.

and you know it never really was strictly enforced
not to mention it's not a thing anymore, they say it's 3 now
and it really doesn't matter when exponential math is involved
India, china, they're the 2 biggest threats to the world, overpopulation, despite the mentally retarded Musk's theory, is the real issue all other problems stem from
specially environmental ones
Ah the Kananaskis camp grounds. Back when it was all new and still marked as recreational area in the late 70's, my then amazing fuck machine Sandy, an Icelandic gal with fantastic tits, gave me a blow job of a lifetime on a brand new picnic table.
Take that G7!!
Unfortunately, Ottawa’s preferred game-plan has been to dole out vast taxpayer-funded subsidies to politically favoured segments: Electric vehicles, batteries and clean-tech products. This strategy is doomed to disappoint if the goal is to boost Canadian manufacturing broadly, and comes at a high cost to the already-stretched Canadian treasury.
B.C. manufacturers are also vital customers for what economists describe as “intermediate inputs” purchased from other local businesses...
...investment per worker in the B.C. manufacturing sector sits at just one-third of the comparable U.S. level...
...and redirecting resources within the post-secondary system to expand capacity in manufacturing-related occupations, while spending less in program areas that are less successful in producing job-ready graduates.
https://www.biv.com/news/commentary...-economy-but-policy-is-falling-short-10831430
Redirecting resources within high school too. 4-blocks of shops if you don't take 3 majors in math, physics, chemistry, biology.

...fire hazard assessments are a cornerstone of wildfire risk reduction, and while the industry assessments met 70 per cent of the requirements, fewer than one-quarter were completed on time.
...more than a million B.C. residents live in areas with high or extreme wildfire risk.

Cleanup operations always leave me wondering what happens to or where the cleaned up mess goes. Amid inexperienced folk pushed out of high priced city homes and into the forests.

Is that in Esquimalt (the fed gov drydock)?
The Chinese deal is the best bang for the Canadian dollar. About 1/2 price of Canadian made. A SKorean would be around the same, but limited due to how much Korea can produce in time. The last BC ferries were made in Poland. Whereas China has many very large shipyards.
The Ship building industry in Canada was killed off in the early 1970s. Ship building went to Japan, then in the late 80s it went to South Korea. Any type of heavy industry in Canada has been bought out and resold for foreign use. (Very large Lathes and milling machines etc).
The last major ship program in Canada was the CPF in the 1990s by Saint Johns and Quebec. So to retool and build any type of ship will need investment by the Fed and prov governments. No corporate entity could possibly afford to retool without the government to help them. Any midsized company (to build fishing boats or yachts is based in the US). Most of the midsized companies came from WW2 to make liberty ships and corvettes.
The other side of the coin is look how many ship building companies that have went out of business since the 1970s. The land they were on was contaminated, and repurposed to other things like highrises. Simply there is no other place to build a big large ship building industry in BC. If there was a political need to make a new shipyard, it would be on a island in the Strait of Georgia, or along the Fraser River mouth, or Vancouver Harbour.
Currently the drydocks in Vancouver Harbour are operated by a US owned group (Washington Group), that is currently building the new Canadian Tanker. So the contract went to an Canadian company owned by an American Company. Yup If you want a new Canadian shipyard you will need to have at least 5-8 times the area of Vancouver Shipyards, with 3-5 drydocks that could fit very large ships. Also if there is a political will, then there is the green shit initiative that would try to kill it because it takes away from the natural beauty of the BC coast. Wait it will happen the stupid shit environmentalist and tree huggers will do.... After all these fanantics killed off the fast ferry builds due to wash from the wake of these fast ferries....Wish back then the gov would of told these idiots to fuck off.
For a sea going nation we as Canadians have let go of any real shipyards and ability to build ships of any type, and what we do have is leased out or owned by foreign companies. The fed gov lets this go as it will still employ some Canadians....
The other side of the problem is how do you supply the shipyard with materials... We don't make enough steel in quantity in Canada to build large ships.
PM says negotiations continue as Trump says he's ending trade talks over digital tax
The United Kingdom kept a similar tax in a trade deal with the U.S. that was signed last week at the G7 summit in Alberta.
https://www.biv.com/news/pm-says-ne...-ending-trade-talks-over-digital-tax-10874866
Canada's new digital services tax, DST applies on anything over $20 million. Effectively leveling the playing field for smaller digital firms to operate in Canada. Against US firms Amazon Google Airbnb Uber.

If you are going to have a tax, you have to make it fair for everyone.
Unlike the taxbreak the super rich get. Because they have the money they can afford the tax break, which means they pay less tax overall by %, or have more write-offs that the middle class can't afford to have.

Yeah when backed into a corner by the supreame power of the US economy, Carney backs down or is crushed by a heavy check, by a big enforcer.....so much for elbows up... what an asshole. Makes me wish Trudeau was back, at least we knew he was a idiot......
The Magna Carta. An old document that King John had to sign. The idea of no taxes without representation. So Parliament was born.
Unfortuneately our elected MPs, MLAs and city counsel members decided over time to enrich themselves and their friends that helped them get elected.
While the people who voted for them only got increased taxes. And we can do nothing about the corruption in our elected officials. We can't control their policies cause as soon as they are elected they do as they want to do. They should be looking out for the Canadian taxpayers in general that is all of us, but they don't.
Our taxes are so much, that over 50% of the Canadian population have trouble with day to day expenses (ok I won't say going to food banks).
For your take home pay:
1. 40% to rent/mortage
2. 22 - 30% for income tax
3. Land taxes
4. GST and PST (5% and 6-10% PST) https://www.retailcouncil.org/resou...xes in,the HST rate increased from 13% to 15%.
5. Dividend and Capital Gains Tax
6. Food
7. Insurance (house, car, contents, life)
8. Car (lets face it transit systems suck and not getting any better), and with the decrease in parking (or the equivalent increase in parking fees).
9. Heating in winter and electric Bills (most house holds are 100-200 a month; in winter that can double). BC hydro rates are skewered to ensure higher payments for the avg household (the idea being to conserve energy, when they just can't, and when most houses were build before standards done in the 1990s).
So I predict as it gets worse, you will be seeing shit (like truckers going to OTTAWA), people taking bats to politicians in the streets, shooting politicians etc. hell even retired politicians too, as they are part of the problems living off your tax money from years ago.... Fucken KAOS..... No law and order, it will be everybody for themselves, so people should be prepared for physical violence. Just modern day people that have been stretched too far, pulled into too many directions trying to pay the bills and get ahead.
More people in the last 30 years have turned to criminal activity to get ahead. Stealing, Robbing, murder, selling drugs, gang activities; Activities that are tax free.
I would have to say its because the government has lost it ways and no longer cares about the people they are supposed to represent. Or the intrained civil service is pulling the eyes over its elected officials.
Why do you think I feel mis-represented at all levels of government?
The Magna Carta was buried for the tax burdened Canadian Citizen a long time ago.....

DST was projected to bring in approx. 1.2 Bil per year.
In 2023, Canada's exports to the U.S. amounted to $768 billion CAD, with energy products contributing $174 billion CAD. In the first three quarters of 2024, the total trade in goods and services between Canada and the U.S. reached C$910 billion.
I wouldn't risk losing a large portion of $768-$910 billion just to hold onto $1.2.
Sometimes it's a numbers game and less about 'looking strong'.
As much as it may pain us; they're just bigger than we are.
In 2024, the U.S. GDP was approximately $24.8 trillion, while Canada's GDP was around $2.015 trillion. This means the U.S. economy is roughly 12 times larger than Canada's. Additionally, the U.S. economy is the largest in the world, while Canada ranks 9th.
