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

Honda plans to invest C$15 billion in new EV and battery production plants in Ontario alongside existing facilities to support the growth of North American demand for EVs.

Production is set to start by 2028, with an annual capacity of up to 240,000 EVs and 36 gigawatt-hours for batteries to achieve the goal of having all North American sales from Honda be either EVs or fuel cell vehicles by 2040.

The Canadian government and Ontario province intend to support Honda with around C$5 billion, with Honda contributing 60%-70% of the total investment to reduce costs by more than 20%.

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: Urgent response to chemical exposure in Canadian First Nation

Canada's Aamjiwnaang First Nation declared a state of emergency due to the excessive release of harmful chemicals from the plastic manufacturing plant of INEOS Styrolution.

The company based in Frankfurt was instructed by the provincial environment ministry on April 18 to investigate the cause of the leak at its factory in Ontario.

The Aamjiwnaang First Nation community, housing around 1,000 individuals, has been surrounded by industrial facilities and has been vocal about environmental concerns.

The emergency declaration coincides with the gathering of thousands of delegates in Ottawa this week for the United Nations plastics treaty talks aimed at curbing the escalating plastic pollution.

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.

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.
