ArcticCrusher Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 So the Trudeau government is looking at making extended health benefits taxable. Oh how are we helping the middle class again.

Coyne said the Shiny Pony enjoys the trappings of being PM but not the actual work. In Saskatoon a woman asked about Bill C-216(?). He said evidently ma'am you know more about the bill than I do. It was also mentioned his attendance isn't anything to write home about. I know it sucked when he was an MP, but haven't seen any comparisons to previous PMs. Edited January 27, 2017 by revrnd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 http://www.cp24.com/news/gm-to-slashing-625-jobs-in-southwestern-ontario-union-1.3259966 General Motors is cutting 625 jobs at its assembly plant near London, Ont., a move that union officials say demonstrates why NAFTA has been a bad deal for the Canadian automotive industry as jobs have migrated to lower-cost jurisdictions such as Mexico. "The CAMI announcement is a shining example of everything wrong with NAFTA, it must be re-negotiated," Unifor president Jerry Dias said in a statement Friday. "It is imperative that we have trade rules that help ensure good jobs in Canada." The layoffs will take effect in July at the CAMI Assembly plant in Ingersoll, Ont., which employs 2,800 Unifor workers. GM Canada said it gave Unifor advance notification of how product changeovers would affect workers at three Ontario plants, adding it will continue to work with the union to help manage the adjustment. The Ingersoll plant builds the Chevrolet Equinox and the GMC Terrain. The company recently announced it was shifting production of the GMC Terrain to Mexico. A GM Canada spokeswoman said the cuts Friday related to the changeover of production from older model Equinoxes to the next-generation Equinox. U.S. President Donald Trump has been outspoken about his plans to revise NAFTA, calling it the worst trade deal the U.S. has ever signed. Trump's protectonist, America-first comments have caused concerns about whether Canada's automotive industry could take a hit, particularly if a border tax is implemented on Canadian goods. But several industry insiders have argued that Canada is most likely not the target that Trump has set his sights on. "Trump talks about the countries that have stolen American jobs," Dias said earlier this week. "Well the facts are, jobs are not going from the United States to Canada. Jobs have been going from Canada to the southern United States and to Mexico." There are 141,000 people employed in Canada's automotive sector, either on the vehicle assembly or the parts manufacturing side, according to the Conference Board of Canada. That's roughly 60,000 fewer people than were employed in the sector a decade ago, as some roles have been automated and others have been moved to Mexico, where labour costs are cheaper. Meanwhile, the surplus that Canada once enjoyed on its automotive trade with the rest of the world has slipped into a widening deficit. Before 2006, Canada's auto sector had an annual trade surplus of around $10 billion. In the fourth quarter of 2016, the sector had a net deficit of $25.6 billion, according to the Conference Board. While much remains unclear about Trump's trade policy, some industry players argue that there may be an upside for Canada if NAFTA is rewritten in such a way that privileges America's northern neighbour over Mexico. If Trump is able to bring more automotive jobs back to Detroit, that would create more opportunities for Canadian auto parts suppliers says Flavio Volpe, president of the Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association. "If Michigan is the new Mexico then Ontario wins," Volpe said. But Dennis DesRosiers, president of DesRosiers Automotive Consultants, is less optimistic about how Trump's trade policy -- be it through a renegotiation of NAFTA or a tariff on Mexican goods -- could impact the auto sector. Because of how integrated the automotive industries in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico are, a tariff on Mexican imports would significantly increase the cost of all North American vehicles, DesRosiers says. "The market's fragile right now anyway, and consumers would pretty well immediately stop buying a lot of vehicles," DesRosiers said. "That would result in tens of thousands of job losses across North America." Brad Duguid, Ontario's economic development minister, says there are both risks and opportunities on the table for Ontario with regards to a renegotiation of NAFTA. "I think the jury's out in terms of what will or will not be accomplished by that," Duguid said. "But the fact is, we know the reality, and that's that President Trump is planning to reopen these discussions and I think our prime minister is wise to be proactive in coming to the table and identifying what our potential interests may be." Van Boekel said the layoffs will primarily affect young workers. The news has taken its toll on morale, and employees -- who for years had been working Saturdays to keep up with demand -- are furious, he said. "It's just frustrating as heck," he said. "It's just a stupid, stupid business decision by a company that can't make enough money." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres the JT we know. Posing for pictures. Instead of taking action and laying the boots to GM and business leaving Canada. Fuck you GM. Move your production then no more subsidies. No more handouts and huge tariffs. Funny how GM keeping plants in USA and moving them from Canada. Trump makes statements and scares them. Trudeau smiles and poses for pictures.

Because it's 2017 and not only does cabinet have to be 50% women it also has to have ethnic diversity regardless of qualifications for the job. That 19 year old MPP should run federally.

To quote the PM in response to Trump's executive order stopping refugees from Muslim countries, "Diversity is our strength". I wish someone would explain that "throwaway soundbite". How is having 30 or 40 thousand people entering the country with limited skills and no knowledge of either official language a strength? In the early 20th century lots of immigrants came from eastern Europe and settled across the land as the country was expanding. Ukrainians farmed on the Prairies and worked in the factories of Ontario. Now we get Somalians, Syrians and African migrants from Libya coming to Canada and going straight to the cities. W/ a shitty economy, what do these people add other than they breed like... SW Ontario has had numerous plant closures and you want to throw these people in the mix? God help us. Oh wait, that'll probably offend 1 of these "new Canadians". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said Canada is in the market for "smart jobs" wtf is that. Explain that to all the Workers who just lost their income ( a good income at that ) to a Mexican. It is also an insult to those still employed there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
