Weapons buying under PM Carney an 'eyewatering increase' for Canada: From a satellite-maker to a company that helps underwater drones tell the difference between a rock and a naval mine, Canada’s humble military supply sector is lighting up the stock market as investors eye billions in new government spending. A new report by Desjardins notes an “eyewatering increase” in weapons purchases since Prime Minister Mark Carney took office last year. As tension mounted with the United States, Ottawa in 2025 committed to its biggest military spending hike since the Second World War. Overall, $81.8 billion in new spending over five years was earmarked to strengthen the Canadian Armed Forces. https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/weapons-buying-under-pm-carney-an-eyewatering-increase-for-canada-desjardins-150812340.html

Not all, or even most, TFW's work in agriculture. "Key details regarding sectors for temporary foreign workers (TFWs) include: Agriculture: This sector is a primary employer, with TFWs accounting for roughly 17% to 18% of its workforce. Service and Hospitality: Over 10% of workers in accommodation and food services, as well as in administrative and support services, are foreign workers. Manufacturing and Trade: Significant numbers of TFWs work in food manufacturing, retail trade, and transportation and warehousing. Job Concentration: Three sectors—accommodation and food services, retail trade, and administrative/support/waste management—have accounted for over 40% of all TFWs in recent years. "

"In Canada, temporary foreign workers (TFWs) are responsible for their own basic living expenses, though specific programs and residency timelines provide access to certain government benefits and employer-provided supports. Rent and Housing Responsibility: Most foreign workers must pay for their own rent. Employer Requirements: For low-wage or primary agriculture streams, employers must ensure "adequate, suitable, and affordable" housing is available. Deductions: Employers may deduct rent from a worker's pay, provided it is outlined in the signed employment agreement and meets provincial limits. Exceptions: In the Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP), employers must provide housing at no cost, except in British Columbia where some deductions are permitted. Food and Groceries Responsibility: Workers typically pay for their own food using their wages. Grocery Rebate: Low-income foreign workers who file taxes may be eligible for one-time government "Grocery Rebates" or GST/HST credits to help offset rising food costs. Healthcare Public Coverage: TFWs have the right to free healthcare under provincial/territorial systems (e.g., OHIP in Ontario). Waiting Period: Public coverage often has a waiting period. Employers must buy and pay for private emergency health insurance for the worker until they are eligible for provincial coverage. Employer Costs: Employers are strictly prohibited from deducting these private health insurance costs from the worker's pay. Money for Children (Canada Child Benefit) Eligibility: Foreign workers can receive the Canada Child Benefit (CCB)—a tax-free monthly payment—only after living in Canada for 18 consecutive months. Requirements: To qualify in the 19th month, the worker must: Have a valid permit. Be a resident for tax purposes. Live with the child (under 18) as the primary caregiver. Amounts: Payments are based on family income and the child's age, with maximums around $7,997 per year for children under 6

I was responding to "just need to get tfw under control for some places and the hatred will drop like usual". Why only agriculture??? If we are lacking workers in certain areas and no "Canadians" will work it.. why not those areas too? Some temporary foreign workers are not just in the spring summer and fall. Some are needed all year round. "Temporary foreign workers can generally stay in Canada for the duration authorized on their work permit,"

So, who will work in the orchards? In the fields? In the barns? On farms? In the vineyards. In the greenhouses? In the hospitality industry? In healthcare/caregivers? Even in technology and engineering. What is "under control" when we do not have people that can or want to work in those areas?

Polievere said what he did in the video posted and my response was to debunk it...and it did. LOL Can't send anymore from our ports if the posts are maxed out and can't send oil or LNG if there is no pipelines to the east coast ports HA HA HA PP just cannot get over that Trudeau is out dating Katy Perry and not playing political footsie with him any more LOL

Nonsense??/ Which part is untrue???

Is PP aware of the reality of port facilities??? Is he aware there are no pipelines to the East Coast ports? Are all complainatives really so uninformed of what is true and untrue?? AI Overview Major Canadian ports are currently operating at or approaching maximum capacity, driven by high trade volumes and a push for diversification, resulting in significant expansion projects across the country . Key Capacity and Expansion Trends: West Coast: The Port of Vancouver, Canada's largest, is operating at high levels and seeking to add 70% more capacity by the mid-2030s to handle an additional 2.4 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) annually. Prince Rupert is expanding to add 400,000 TEUs in capacity to its current 1.6 million. East Coast & St. Lawrence: The Port of Montreal is building a new container terminal in Contrecoeur with a maximum annual capacity of 1.15 million containers. The Port of Saint John is expanding its capacity by over 60%, and the Port of Halifax is enhancing capabilities to handle ultra-class container vessels. The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority says a record amount of cargo flowed through its terminals last year as shippers sought to grow overseas markets far from an increasingly protectionist United States. Freight volumes at the Port of Vancouver rose eight per cent to 170.4 million tonnes in 2025, according to the port authority. The boost was driven by surging exports of grain, crude oil and potash as well as higher container and auto trade, all of which reached record levels. A bumper crop allowed wheat shipments to push bulk grain exports to a record high, with western Canadian wheat reaching 35 countries last year in regions ranging from the Indo-Pacific to the Middle East. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/port-vancouver-2025-cargo-volumes-9.7121516

Fact is...Canada is exporting more then it ever has and it is not to the US. The Port of Vancouver handled a record 170 million tonnes of cargo in 2025, including new highs for oil, grain and number of containers Oil exports through the Port of Vancouver almost doubled in 2025, with a huge increases in shipments to China, helping propel overall cargo shipments to a new record. Terminals at Canada’s biggest port handled 170.4 million tonnes of cargo in 2025, surpassing the 158.4 million handled in 2024, thanks to big increases in shipments of grain, potash and especially oil, according to statistics released Monday by the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority. The results, coming after Prime Minister Mark Carney has set a target to double Canada’s non-U.S. exports, show “the Port of Vancouver is playing an outsized role,” port authority CEO Peter Xotta said in a news release. https://vancouversun.com/business/expanded-trans-mountain-pipeline-almost-doubles-oil-exports-from-port-of-vancouver
