How the Conservatives are torquing the facts on the new NAFTA | CBC News
In this online attack, Scheer tries to back up his claim
by juxtaposing an October quote from the prime minister touting the
benefits of the new NAFTA agreement with a line from a recent C.D. Howe Institute study that suggests the “negative elements outweigh the positives…” when it comes to the renegotiated trade deal.

benefits of the new NAFTA agreement with a line from a recent C.D. Howe Institute study that suggests the “negative elements outweigh the positives…” when it comes to the renegotiated trade deal.
The
Conservative leader goes on to correctly cite one of the paper’s key
findings: That the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) will shrink this
country’s GDP by 0.4 per cent, delivering a more than $10 billion US
hit to general economic welfare.
But he neatly skips over some
inconvenient words with his ellipses, where the authors write that the
agreement will result in “lower real GDP and welfare for all three
parties, with Mexico being hardest hit and the United States the least.”
The Future of Dangerously Hot Days

After working outside in her garden on a sweltering Saturday in late June 2018, a 64-year-old Pennsylvania woman was taken to the hospital, where she died of cardiac arrest. The next day, a 30-year-old man running a trail race in upstate New York collapsed a half mile before the finish line. He was brought to the hospital and died that day. Hundreds of miles apart, these two deaths shared a common culprit: extreme heat. By the time the week was out, heat would claim the lives of at least three more people in the United States (Miller and Park 2018; Palmer 2018).
This 52 page report on Extreme Heat has been published by the Union of Concerned Scientists. It takes a look at the issues facing us today and in the days and years to come if we don’t manage to get control of the green house gas emissions that are heating up the earth.
Although the report is more focused on the United States, it has global implications. Download the report from this link.
LETTERS: Insulin, already too expensive in Canada, shouldn’t be sold to Americans
Effective this year, several American states have passed bills to
allow their citizens and local governments to purchase medical supplies
from Canada. President Donald Trump has authorized them to go ahead as
medications are cheaper here. As an example, insulin, which doesn’t
require a prescription in Canada to purchase, is Cdn. $70; south of the
border, it’s U.S. $340 for 100 cc.

So far, in Quebec and London, Ont., there have been reports of buses
full of Americans buying our medications in bulk. This can happen in
B.C. as Colorado has passed a similar bill.
