HellsBelle@sh.itjust.worksto Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada's Top Port Seeks Builder to Add 70% Capacity in Asia Trade PushEnglish0·3 days agoThe terminal is set to be running by the mid 2030s and the expansion would allow the port to handle an additional 2.4 million twenty-foot equivalent units a year. That represents a 70 per cent increase to the port’s 2024 container volume of 3.5 million. Vancouver’s port says it already handles almost as much cargo as the next five largest Canadian ports combined. Article content
Pang said the port hasn’t got a policy to penalize bidders from any particular country, such as China or the U.S., despite a movement in the country to steer government contracts to domestic companies. British Columbia’s ferry company, for example, is embroiled in a political controversy over a major contract that was awarded to China. But suppliers of building materials from Canada would have natural advantages because they’re closer, Pang said.
This is a load of bullshit. Who makes the money here? Who give control over the port to a private enterprise here?
Who? Fucking? Wins? Here???
I supported Carney from the start. If this is what he’s aiming at completing I’m walking away … with the hopes that he FUCKING STOPS N O W with this shit.
Read it and weep asswipe.
As it stands right now you’re not leading, you’re following.

And I get people being unhappy Tesla used the rules to their own benefit … but the problem isn’t with Tesla … it’s with the Trudeau gov’t who did sfa to make the rules strong, where ‘saving’ sales for a future ‘windfall’ was NOT allowed.
Don’t be pissed at the messenger here. Be angry with the leadership that made lax rules that helped the rich cunts more than it did the average human being.

HellsBelle@sh.itjust.worksto Canada@lemmy.ca•Toronto risks losing $30M in federal housing funds after council rejects citywide sixplex zoningEnglish0·4 days agoBut one Toronto MP, who asked not to be identified to speak freely, said the mayor didn’t act because of her electoral considerations.
The next municipal election is scheduled for fall 2026, and a recent poll found that 53 per cent of residents disapproved of Chow’s performance.
Chow was elected mayor in a 2023 byelection, winning just over 37 per cent of the vote. She dominated the central wards and won most of Scarborough, but lost in suburban Etobicoke and North York.
The areas that blocked sixplexes (Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough, with the exception of Ward 23) are also the areas most resistant to density, and where council opposition was strongest.
The MP said Chow’s decision on sixplexes is an effort to “hold on to every vote” she won in the suburbs north of Bloor Street while reassuring her downtown base.
I hate that too often politicians base their decisions on what could happen in futire elections.
I mean almost none of them prioritize their civic duty and what’s best for their constituents anymore. It’s all “But what about my re-election!” bs now.

TikTok is ending its sponsorship of several major Canadian arts organizations, including the Juno Awards and the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), as it prepares to shut down its Canadian operations under a federal directive.
The company said it is complying with an order issued by Ottawa last November, which requires TikTok to wind down operations in Canada due to national security concerns. As a result, the company says it will suspend all partnerships and funding initiatives in the country. So, in other words, its offices will close, but the actual TikTok app will remain in Canada. Go figure.

It already is protected.
“The National Flag Act states that no strata has the authority to tell citizens they can’t fly the Canadian flag, and the Flag Act acknowledges that there are other flags,” said Parke, though there’s no express permission to fly an Indigenized Canadian flag.
