Analysis: Canada’s lagging productivity affects us all — and will take years to remedy

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:54:44 GMT

By: Barry Cross, Queen’s University, OntarioVolkswagen executives and federal, provincial and local government officials recently celebrated their partnership in the next Canadian giga-factory in St. Thomas, Ont., to produce automotive batteries. The announcement promises up to 3,000 new jobs and to revitalize Canada’s automotive sector.It’s good news for Canada. We need more global firms willing to invest in the country. But the $13-billion government investment doesn’t add up.Matching and even beating competitive bids is common enough, especially in the automotive industry, but the amount involved could likely pay for not only all necessary capital expenditures to establish the plant and all its equipment, but also any related operating expenses for several years.So why the massive subsidies?They’re necessary when a country has little else to bring to the table.Productivity laggingEconomic productivity is a measure of the rate at which the output of goods and services are pr...

American poet Roger Reeves wins Griffin Poetry Prize for ‘Best Barbarian’

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:54:44 GMT

TORONTO — When Roger Reeves was named the winner of this year’s Griffin Poetry Prize on Wednesday night, his head fell to his hands and his mind went blank. The Austin, Texas-based writer was awarded the $130,000 honour at a ceremony in Toronto for his collection “Best Barbarian,” which jurors praised for charting “ruptures and violences enacted across time and space — particularly against Black humanity.”It took a beat for thoughts to return to Reeves after he heard his book’s name called out, he said. But when they did, he thought of his people.“This is for my people. For my people, and for my people over the centuries, people that have fought, that have bled, that have worked, and people that have danced, that have enjoyed,” he said in a brief interview after the ceremony. “I think the first thing that I would say is this is always for our people: for our people that had helped us get here.”Reeves is also the recipient o...

Portland bans daytime camping, imposes other restrictions

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:54:44 GMT

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Portland’s city council voted Wednesday to pass an ordinance prohibiting camping during daytime hours in most public places as it, like other places in the U.S., struggles to address a longtime homelessness crisis.The 3-1 vote changes city code to say that people may camp in nonrestricted areas from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m., but after that they must dismantle the site until the permitted overnight hours begin again. The ordinance also bans camping entirely near schools, parks and busy streets among other locations. Business and property owners were among those who backed the ordinance, saying campsites are causing them to lose customers and creating safety issues. Advocates for homeless people said it will further burden them, heightening mental and physical distress. Portland has already prohibited camping on city property at all hours. But that measure has rarely been enforced and could be found to violate a state law that takes effect July 1. The new law codif...

But underneath the genuinely tender moments shared by this on-screen Moroccan couple simmers a longing — of a forbidden kind.In her latest film, “The Blue Caftan,” Moroccan director Maryam Touzani delicately weaves intricate, overlapping tales of love, both traditional and largely taboo for many in her country and its region as she tells the story of a woman and her secretly gay husband who together run a shop making caftans. The marriage grows more complicated when the couple hires a male apprentice.Wading into socially sensitive subjects is not unfamiliar terrain for Touzani who has won accolades at international film festivals and, just recently, was a jury member at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. “The Blue Caftan,” which had been shortlisted in the international feature film category for the 95th Academy Awards, ...
