Also hat tip to CBC for writing headlines ambiguously. It read like it was Ford the automobile lobby while it was in fact Ford, the drug dealer.

(Doug) Ford warns Carney not to cut tariffs on Chinese EVs as PM looks to repair ties with Beijing
cbc.ca/news/politics/ford-carn…
Elbows up.
As I said the tariff is not to protect Canada. It's to protect a US industry that don't give a fuck about Canada.
Edit: Added in the headline that it is the drug dealer, not the car manufacturer.
If any Canadian is wondering why their provincial & federal governments keep slashing public education funds - this is a huge reason on the why. A highly educated population would be dissenting of unjust government actions. It's that simple.
I've memorized many parts of #Canadian Charter of #Rights and #Freedoms - part of the #Constitution of #Canada. I like to educate poorly educated 'law enforcement' on actual laws & listing the ones they're breaking while trying to silence #dissent against government corruption.
Canadian government - just like any other capitalist driven colonizer exploitive lying government - violated many citizens #humanrights to satisfy the greed of their corporate lobbyists. They do not want a large portion of citizens to be highly educated. They don't want to deal with a whole bunch of highly educated dissenters. They rule over us better, when they're corrupt as fuck - over poorly educated citizens - especially when some sellout/foolish citizens do their BS PR for them.

In short, François Legault and the Health minister of the day, despite all medical advice to the contrary, are letting a huge swath of the population of Québec go unvaccinated against #COVID19.
#CAQASTROPHE #QCpoli #polQC #COVIDISNOTOVER #WEARAMASK #cdnpoli #polcan
In Québec, there are 700 to 900 reported cases, weekly, of #COVID19, since September 2025...Typically, certain Québécois/ses PCR tested only, so NOT the full picture of the state of COVID-19 in Québec.
The vaccine, for those who are NOT eligible, is 180$ and supplemental health insurance does not always cover even a % of it...
Yet, the province is trying to say vaccination rates are down and the number of infections are stable... #polQC #QCpoli #CAQASTROPHE #COVIDISNOTOVER #WEARAMASK

Maybe someone should tell senior management in some services that DO use performance metrics (translators are not the only ones).

The first two recommendations in the report call on Statistics Canada to explore and report on the development of a “productivity measurement program” for the public service, and for agencies to develop productivity metrics for departments and agencies that provide direct services to Canadians.
“Without reliable data, it is difficult to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of government services or identify areas for improvement,” the report said.
The president of the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada said productivity cannot be improved by productivity measurement alone.
“We don’t build productivity through distrust and surveillance. I think that it’s two things that productivity depends on is having trust and faith in the work everyone does,” Sean O’Reilly said on Tuesday.
He says public servants are already dealing with understaffing, outdated technology and paperwork, and those problems won’t be solved by performance tracking.
...
The Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat says it is not considering four of the recommendations from the task force, including measuring productivity across the public sector.

#Carney ran on a build Canada platform that hasn't proposed any real nation building, rather we get pandering to foreign petro oligarchs.
Here's some nation building actions that should already be underway:
1. Get our govt data out of the USA. House it in the EU until we have a domestic datacentre.
2. Get schools across the nation off american software and networks. Like stop forcing my kid to use an enemy chromebook. This will take a large investment in infrastucture to update schools.
3. Retrofit schools, colleges and universities with renewable energy and batteries. Gift the installs and equipment to help reduce school electricity costs (and work toward climate action).
4. Similarly assist FN and especially Inuit communities getting off diesel generators. The soot is speeding melting in the Arctic.
5. Like the national railway that our ancestors built, build a national fleet of electric truck-trains (truck with 7-10 reefers). The railways are often plugged and reducing productivity.

There is something to be said when your own party faithfuls dissent on a major policy.
Hidden in the federal government’s 634-page omnibus bill C-15, the Budget Implementation Act, is a measure that has so far escaped scrutiny. Under the pretext of regulatory efficiency, Prime Minister Mark Carney plans to grant cabinet ministers the power to exempt any individual or company from any federal law on the books — except for the Criminal Code — for up to six years.
...
While the bill lays out a plan for a minister to partially inform the public of such an order, there are no timelines. The minister may also “exclude information that, in the minister’s opinion, would be inappropriate to make publicly accessible for reasons that include safety or security considerations or the protection of confidential or personal information.”
The Treasury Board Secretariat suggests the measures are necessary for regulators to keep pace with technological change and find flexible ways to evaluate whether products or services can be safely introduced in the Canadian marketplace.
