The Super El Niño seems to extend our summertime by another day. It began as a beautiful, sunny, warm day, one that should have been more typical of June and July.

Question: What are Carney's plans other than the tax when the prices of fuel go out of reach for the average Canadian?

🔹AI Overview

Prime Minister Mark Carney's broader affordability plan includes launching the Canada

The government launched this targeted benefit to help families handle rising inflation and basic living costs.

• Income Tax Reductions: Federal income tax rates were cut to 14% to help middle-class Canadians keep more of their earnings.

• Carbon Tax Elimination: The federal consumer carbon tax was canceled to remove an ongoing source of price pressure on daily goods.

• Housing Tax Relief: First-time homebuyers do not have to pay the GST on new or resale homes priced up to $1 million.

Long-Term Economic Strategies

As outlined by the Liberal Party of Canada, the government's broader economic strategy focuses on structural supports rather than just temporary tax pauses:

Housing Construction: A large-scale housing plan aims to double residential construction to 500,000 homes per year.

Skilled Trades: The federal government covers the training costs for workers entering apprenticeship and skilled trades programs.Sector Protections: Measures are in place to support agrifood workers and defend domestic industries against external tariffs.

CRITICS, including the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, continue to argue that these measures do not go far enough when global conflicts drive fuel and energy prices to extreme heights

Question: CANADA NATIONALIZE THE OIL INDUSTRY?

🔹AI Overview

Canada does not currently nationalize its oil industry, though past federal efforts like the 1980 National Energy Program attempted partial state control and "Canadianization".

History and Past

• AttemptsPetro-Canada: The federal government created this national oil company in 1975 during the global energy crisis. It was later privatized.

• National Energy Program (NEP): Introduced in 1980 by Pierre Trudeau to secure energy independence, the NEP faced fierce opposition from Alberta and was scrapped in 1985.

• Public Polls: As reported by CBC News, past public opinion polls showed that nearly half of Canadians supported nationalizing petroleum resources during times of high gas prices.

Arguments For and Against

For Nationalization: Proponents in The Guardian argue that public ownership—similar to Norway's model—keeps profits at home, helps fund green energy transitions, and reduces reliance on foreign imports.

Critics say that, under the constitution, natural resources belong to the provinces, and state control can scare away foreign investors and hurt the economy.

Current Direction

Federal policies focus on supporting production and streamlining regulations rather than taking over companies. As noted by EnergyNow, Ottawa recently moved to remove certain federal environmental barriers to help boost oil sands output and expand export capacity.

BREAKING NEWS RECAP:

Trump tells Ukraine to stop targeting Russia’s diesel fuel

U.S. President Donald Trump has urged his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, to stop targeting Russia’s diesel fuel in aerial attacks, claiming that it is “hurting the world.”

A series of long-distance Ukrainian drone strikes has targeted Russia’s fuel infrastructure, hitting major processing plants and significantly reducing its refining capacity. “Mr. Zelenskyy has to do one thing. He has to stop knocking out diesel fuel in Russia. Let him go after targets, but not diesel fuel, because he’s causing a shortage of diesel,” Trump said during an official visit to Ireland on Sunday.

“This isn’t done by the Middle East. This is done by what’s happening with Russia and Ukraine,” he claimed. His comments come as the ongoing war with Iran, which predominantly involves the United States...

Trump’s new trade war weapon should unnerve Americans

The president is embracing import bans, which are likely harder for courts to undo.

NEWS VIDEO | Included:

In 1961, John F. Kennedy chose Canada for his first trip abroad as president and brought with him a message of kinship. “What unites us is far greater than what divides us,” he told the Canadian Parliament. “This is a partnership, not an empire.”

Now, thanks to Donald Trump, a full-fledged trade war has broken out between the U.S. and Canada following the collapse of trade talks last month. And the president is settling on import bans as his latest trade-war weapon. That should unnerve not just Canadian leaders but also European officials and Americans worn out by higher prices...

When the Supreme Court struck down Trump’s sweeping tariffs in February, it said the White House did have authority to enact import restrictions and outright:

“I can destroy the trade. I’m even allowed to impose a foreign country-destroying embargo,” Trump said in February. “I can do anything I want...

I'm beginning to believe both Ford and him are from the same mold, except Ford has a fully functioning brain, but it short-circuits when it comes to being honest. He would have jumped in Trump's pocket if Trump had let him.

Why isn't Canada blocking the Welland Canal? Other trade war questions answered

CBC News answers your questions about export taxes, sales bans and toilet paper

Reading through the emails that readers send to CBC News, one gets the impression they don't just want "elbows up" in the Canada-U.S. trade war, but also sticks, knees, skates, and whatever else might be lying around.

One of the most common questions is some variation of "Why isn't Canada doing X?" — where X is a tactic or tariff the reader supposes will hit the U.S. where it hurts. Here's a look at some of those suggestions and what key players or observers have had to say about them.

What Trump has wrought on a Dallas convention floor

The president had faithful supporters in the crowd, while a prominent Jan. 6 participant roamed the arena halls.

DALLAS — Donald Trump’s hold on the Republican Party is near total, and for two days this week, it filled an arena. A decade in politics has let him redefine what it means to be a Republican and escape responsibility for an attack on the U.S. Capitol by a mob of his own supporters, mounted after he tried to overturn an election he lost. What his party offers voters this fall is him.

Republicans regrouped here for a midterm convention brought to life by Trump and for Trump, and that faithfulness was the point. They called him the greatest president in the nation’s history, thanked God for him winning again and even had the chance to buy a hat in his familiar shade of red saying he “was right about everything.”

“Looking back in the history books, I hope that Trump is seen as one of the most divisive presidents our nation has ever seen, and that he should have never been re-elected in 2024,”

Ontario expands eligibility for tariff support funding to protect businesses, workers: Ford

Province, Ford did not expand on what changes are being made to program eligibility

Ontario is expanding eligibility for financing programs to protect jobs and businesses in sectors impacted by the U.S.-Canada trade war, Premier Doug Ford announced Thursday.

The news comes just days after Canada issued retaliatory tariffs against the U.S. and U.S. President Donald Trump banned the import of Canadian dairy, motorcycles and some alcohol products, as well as additional 50 per cent tariffs. Those changes are expected to kick in later this month.

Businesses in sectors now facing tariff impacts from those upcoming export changes are now also eligible to apply for relief through the $1-billion Protect Ontario Financing Program (POFP) and Ontario Together Trade Fund (OTTF), according to the province's news release...
