Navigating Emissions: New Standards for Cargo Ships

GM lays off hundreds of workers from a plant in Ingersoll, Ontario. The plant makes EV delivery vans. The company is pointing to the market, saying it is in a slump. But the union is pointing to U.S. policies, including tariffs, and a turn away from EVs.

And: The White House says the U.S. can’t be dependent on China. The two countries have raised their tariffs to levels that will make trade between them very difficult. Some U.S. companies say that could force them out of business altogether. And it all could have a trickle-down effect on the cost of Chinese goods in Canada.

Also: Municipal leaders from across the country say there is a major issue missing from the federal election campaign. Their plan — Elbows up for Climate Action — includes ideas they say will address climate change… AND the threats to Canada’s economic sovereignty.

Plus: polls suggest the NDP may be flirting with the loss of its party status, countries reach a deal on global fuel standards, and more.
