Quick Glance: Honda's Major Investment in Electric Vehicle Factory in Ontario

According to sources from federal and provincial government levels, Honda is planning to establish a significant new electric vehicle facility in Ontario.

The forthcoming announcement of the agreement is expected to take place at Honda's facility in Alliston, where plans for a comprehensive project to manufacture electric vehicles, batteries, and components will be revealed.

Honda's investment in Alliston is projected to surpass the existing major projects in the electric vehicle production sector in Ontario.

The disclosure of the agreement with Honda is seen as a significant step in the government's efforts to attract companies for establishment in Canada within the emerging electric vehicle industry.

Canada's planned capital gains tax hike may choke mining startups, dealmakers say

reuters.com/markets/commodities/canadas-planned-capital-gains-tax-hike-may-choke-mining-startups-dealmakers-say-2024-04-22/

Quick Glance: Canada's Proposed Capital Gains Tax Hike May Impact Mining Start-ups

Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland hold the 2024-25 budget, surrounded by members of Parliament on the hill of Ottawa. Canada's planned capital gains tax hike could deter investments in mineral exploration, according to the country's leading stock exchange operators and dealers.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government proposes increasing the share of capital gains subject to taxation to two-thirds for individuals with annual investment profits of over C$250,000 ($181,752), companies, and trusts to raise revenue for public programs. The measure will be effective on June 25 and could undergo amendments.

Mining, oil, and gas exploration companies on the TSX Venture Exchange have raised funds by issuing flow-through shares, which account for 65% of all funds raised by exploration mining companies on Canadian exchanges. Canada's exploration companies have only raised C$240 million in March, down by 79% from a year ago.

Industry lobby groups hope the government will provide an exemption for flow-through share investors, as failure to do so could jeopardize over 70% of all resource explorations in Canada. The proposed measure is feared to potentially signal the end of many mineral explorations in Canada.

Quick Glance: Canada's Ambitious Housing Plan to Address Crisis

Canada plans to build nearly 3.9 million houses by 2031 under a new federal initiative to tackle the housing crisis.

The plan, falling short by almost a third compared to projections, is expected to dominate the upcoming federal budget.

With no direct role in construction, Ottawa must rely on policy measures and funding to ensure partners respond to the housing shortage.

The measures include proposals to extend low-cost loans, utilize federal land for rapid house construction, and combat mortgage fraud inflating housing costs.

China tried to meddle but Canadians decided the last two elections, says PM Trudeau

reuters.com/world/americas/china-tried-meddle-canadians-decided-last-two-elections-says-pm-trudeau-2024-04-10/

Quick Glance: Alleged Chinese Interference in Canadian Elections: Trudeau Confirms Independence

Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reported to an official inquiry that China attempted to intervene in the last two Canadian elections, but the outcomes were unaffected, and it was deemed 'improbable' that Beijing favored a specific party.

Under pressure from opposition lawmakers dissatisfied with media reports on China's potential involvement in the elections, Trudeau established the commission.

Erin O'Toole, who led the main opposition Conservative party during the 2021 campaign, estimated that Chinese interventions may have cost his party up to nine seats but did not alter the election's course. Trudeau's Liberal Party emerged victorious in both instances.

Canada's domestic intelligence agency informed the commission of China's 'clandestine and deceptive' interference in both elections, marking the most substantial evidence thus far of suspected Chinese meddling in Canadian politics.

Thomson emphasized that the company's international banking segment saw the strongest growth in the first quarter of 2024, stating their goal is to run those countries more effectively.

North American economic integration could increase through near-shoring, reducing regulatory hurdles, and ensuring businesses access capital, according to Thomson.

Should you worry that cloud cover will obscure the eclipse? Meteorologist says maybe

ctvnews.ca/climate-and-environment/should-you-worry-that-cloud-cover-will-obscure-the-eclipse-meteorologist-says-maybe-1.6834763

Quick Glance: The Latest Eclipse Forecast Surprises Observers

The weather forecast for the upcoming total solar eclipse is showing some curveballs with pockets of disruptive cloud coverage in the path of totality that contradict historical cloud cover data for April 8.

While the Southern Plains have the greatest chance for a cloud-free viewing experience, other regions could be affected by storms bringing moist air from the Gulf of Mexico northward, potentially obstructing views of totality.

A cloudy outlook doesn't necessarily mean the eclipse experience will be completely ruined, as it will still result in a day-to-night effect. However, those on the post-eclipse travel route could be at risk of thunderstorms.

The total solar eclipse will stretch from Texas to Maine, passing over cities like Dallas, Indianapolis, Cleveland, and Buffalo, with parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana at an increased risk of thunderstorms.
