Webinar
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Liberal government recently imposed a 100 percent tariff on Chinese-made electric vehicles. What‘s at stake in this move? Is this simply another attempt to cozy up to America’s new cold war against China? Is it an attempt to gain support from autoworkers in the leadup to the next federal election? EVs may not be the only answer to the climate catastrophe we face today, but are they part of the solution?
SPEAKERS:
Sam Gindin, Elizabeth May, Gobind Dhugee
Moderated by Bianca Mugyenyi.
Co-sponsored with the Canadian Foreign Policy Institute.

Understanding Bill C-70: Beyond a National Security State
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
C-70 is an omnibus bill, amending the Canadian Security Intelligence Act, the Security of Information Act, the Criminal Code, the Canadian Evidence Act, and introducing a new act, the Foreign Influence Transparency and Accountability Act.
Rights groups warn this bill is likely to erode civil liberties and human rights. Passed with minimal scrutiny, Bill C-70 amends key security and criminal laws, threatening fundamental freedoms, including free speech, assembly, and privacy, and could be used for profiling based on politics, race, religion, or nationality.
