Carney’s war on workers would make the right to strike meaningless
Canadians elected a government that promised to defend the country from Trump and his politics. Now corporations are demanding limits on workers' rights — and Carney is expected to deliver

Mark Carney wants to invoke positive public sentiments about the EU, but without offering Canadians the significant improvements to their quality of life that mentioning EU membership implies. He hopes to smear some feel-good EU branding on an agenda that degrades the things EU members enjoy.
Picture of Canadian prime minister Mark Carney with text:

The reason we're talking about a newly invented "associate member" status with the EU is in part because to become an actual member of the EU Canada would have to significantly improve our environmental protections, health care, and human rights protections while the Carney government is moving in the opposite direction of all of those things

“[It] will increase the amount of assets covered from roughly 15% of assets to more than 65%… Canada's marginal effective tax rate on new business investment will fall from roughly 13% to 6.4% - the lowest of any major economy in the world and less than half the rate in the United States.” BAD.
Today, at the first Canada Investment Summit, Prime Minister Carney announced that the federal government is building on that success with the new Productivity Mega Deduction.
This game-changing new tax incentive will increase the amount of assets covered from roughly 15% of assets to more than 65%, including fibre-optic cable, mining property, oil and gas pipelines, software, research and development, computer equipment, aircraft and vehicles, patents, rail track, bridges, and roads.
To reinforce Canada's tax advantage, the federal government is also making immediate expensing permanent so businesses can recover these costs sooner. This will lower the after-tax cost of investing and boost capital investment across Canada. As a result, Canada's marginal effective tax rate on new business investment will fall from roughly 13% to 6.4% - the lowest of any major economy in the world and less than half the rate in the United States.
