Q & A

What is the main critique of the Canadian government's handling of Stellantis?

The main critique is that the Canadian government invested $15 billion of taxpayer money into Stellantis, only for the company to announce a $13 billion investment in the United States, rather than in Canada. This has sparked outrage over the perceived misuse of public funds and the loss of Canadian jobs.

Why is the situation with the lumber industry in British Columbia significant?

The situation is dire because the lumber industry in British Columbia is facing collapse, with the provincial government being criticized for not taking sufficient action. Critics argue that regulations need to be amended, and there is a need for more control over the fiber supply in the province to protect jobs and the industry.

What is the concern regarding the University of Toronto's medical dean accepting $18 million from Saudi Arabia?

The concern is that the University of Toronto's medical dean accepted a large sum of money from Saudi Arabia to train Saudi doctors, while Canada faces a shortage of training spots for its own medical students. This is viewed as a betrayal, with critics arguing that Canada should prioritize training its own doctors rather than sending resources abroad.

What was the controversy surrounding the 1BC party and the University of Victoria?

The controversy arose after a violent incident at the University of Victoria, where members of the 1BC party were attacked by activists.

Critics condemned this response as an attempt to downplay the severity of the situation and the violence.
