1trailmaker Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 on the topic of Pride and today's youth 49% chose "all gender" Ryerson University announced Wednesday they will no longer require students to disclose their gender identity on housing application forms, and that they will introduce housing that accommodates all gender identities. "What we've done is we've altered our application to not require students to identify their gender unless it is something they want us to take into account when we're assigning the residence room," Ian Crookshank, director of housing and residence life at Ryerson, told CBC Toronto. Crookshank said the university has also expanded the number of gender category options on applications to "represent a non-binary spectrum." Students will select if they want "all-gender" housing or not. If they choose that option, they do not have to disclose their gender identity and will be housed with "folks from all different gender identities." If they do not choose that option, they will be asked to disclose their gender identity and make it known that they want that taken into account when being placed.

What do you think a meeting with the big people in the Canadian auto industry would be about? “This is not a profit issue, this is a moral issue as the exploitation of workers continues,” Williams said. “Mexican workers deserve better.” Currently, NAFTA includes side deals on labor and the environment -- essentially just aspirational goals to improve working conditions and committing each country to enforce its own labor and environmental standards. That has allowed Mexico to take advantage of its low wage rate, lack of free collective bargaining and non-existent health, safety and environmental standards to lure auto companies looking for the cheapest place to set up shop, Dias has said in the past.

What Canada wants is changes to a NAFTA jobs list which allows some people to more easily get a visa to work across the border. She referred to the economic argument against buy-local rules. “Local-content provisions for major government contracts are political junk food: superficially appetizing, but unhealthy in the long run,” Freeland said. The basic argument against these provisions is they drive up the cost of projects – so taxpayers pay more, they get fewer new roads and bridges for their money, that reduces economic activity and in the long run it doesn’t save the economy any jobs It mentions land surveyors and range conservationists, for instance, but not computer programmers. International companies want that jobs list in Chapter 16 expanded to make it easier for employees to move between offices. increased wages in Mexico would narrow the gap in labour costs, making it more attractive to invest in auto plants in Canada and the U-S I can't be bothered posting any more since you will just ignore it and Bash Canada at the table Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multinationals play sister plants and the various levels of gov't off each other seeking concessions. Not only auto plants are involved. Doesn't BRP make the Can-Am in Mexico? I think some of Polaris SXS output is built there as well. Look at the amount of aftermarket auto parts w/ Hecho en Mexico on the packaging. Heaven forbid some person in Ohio or Ontario make minimum wage making spark plugs, shock absorbers or springs. Magna closed the old New Process Gear plant in Syracuse a few years ago. They sourced pretty much all the transfer cases used in GM & Dodge 4x4s. Magna now produces their transfer cases in Ramos Arizpe. 12 hours ago, 1trailmaker said: so it seem Canada is after more than gender hiring and climate change thanks for playing When asked today about Trumps' comments about terminating NAFTA. the Shiny Pony said that his gov't looks forward to reaching an agreement that is beneficial to our partners in the US & Mexico.

1trailmaker Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Canada strong FS-ers want to cave to Don but we won't WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump again suggested the North American Free Trade Agreement be terminated, tweeting Sunday that both Canada and Mexico are being “very difficult,” but observers and political leaders didn't appear to take the threat too seriously. Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard brushed aside Trump's comment. “I think what we have to recognize is that the negotiations are going forward. You will not hear me react to his daily tweets or statements. I don't think that would be very productive,” Couillard said as he arrived in Charlottetown for the annual meeting of New England governors and eastern premiers. Trade economist Dan Trefler, professor at the University of Toronto and senior research fellow at the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research, agrees that Trump's Twitter rhetoric is unlikely to translate to action. For one thing, the president is unlikely to receive the congressional approval he would need to act on a major trade agreement. “Congress has been more involved in these trade negotiations than it's ever been involved in any previous trade negotiation,” Trefler says. How can we get this done without Harper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of The Donald's carrying on about things on Twitter would probably be forgotten in ten minutes other than the media hanging on every word. I think we all have to agree he has the attention span of a gnat. I think the average person in Bathurst NB or Camrose AB would rather hear the PM say, "We're working on a beneficial deal for Canada." I doubt anyone cares if it helps Americans or Mexicans. We all know the Americans are looking out for #1 & that sure isn't us. Can you imagine JT being a sports team GM? "Here's a blank contract, write in the amount & length & we'll be good for it."
