Quick Glance: Honda to Establish $11 Bln EV, Battery Plants in Canada

Honda will also collaborate with companies like Asahi Kasei and POSCO to further lower production costs and strengthen the EV supply chain in Canada, leading to an increase in jobs and economic growth.

Quick Glance: Trial Judge Evaluates Trump's Compliance with Gag Order

Former President Trump is on trial in New York for hush money issues. David Pecker from 'National Enquirer' testified about an agreement to manipulate stories about Trump and his rivals.

Concerns arose about Trump's violation of the gag order by criticizing court members. Mary McCord explained how the administration of justice can be disrupted by defendants' statements, leading to legal restrictions.

Despite reluctance to detain a former president, fines may be imposed for attacks on witnesses and judicial families. Threats to security and witness testimonies pose serious challenges to the trial's integrity.

Judges emphasize the importance of upholding justice by addressing threats and ensuring the safety of those involved in legal proceedings. The credibility of the trial hinges on maintaining a fair and secure environment.

reuters.com/markets/tsx-futures-rise-commodity-prices-jump-2024-04-26/

Quick Glance: TSX rise and investor preference for inflation protection

Canada's primary stock index saw an increase on Friday, expanding its weekly gains, driven by the indication of ongoing inflation in the US, which heightened interest in commodity-related stocks.

The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index rose by 83.86 points or 0.4% to 21,969.24.

The materials and energy sectors, comprising approximately one-third of the Toronto market's weightage, experienced gains, fueled by companies like First Quantum Minerals Ltd and the surge in oil prices.

The financial sector, the most heavily weighted sector on the TSX, closed 0.4% higher, while companies such as TFI International Inc incurred losses following their quarterly results falling short of expectations.

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: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial

A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.

The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.

Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.

The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.

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.

Quick Glance: Joe Biden Calls for Significant Increase in Tariffs on Chinese Steel

US President Joe Biden is pushing for an increase in tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminium to strengthen union support in the swing state of Pennsylvania.

During a meeting with United Steelworkers union members in Pittsburgh, Biden calls on trade representative Katherine Tai to raise the tariffs from the current average of 7.5 percent.

The main focus of the measures is to combat China's new export surge and the ongoing price pressure that makes it difficult for American steel companies to compete.

The Biden administration's decision to increase tariffs is expected to impact recent efforts by Washington and Beijing to stabilize relations.
