Gradually Then Suddenly Great Moments In Socialism It's Probably Nothing 20 Comments

Bad news is good news, or something like that. With business demand for capital sagging, any rate cuts will be needed just to keep the yield curve from inverting like a wet noodle.

Canada’s labour market lost a net 32,600 jobs in March, while the unemployment rate rose to 6.7 per cent, according to Statistics Canada data released on Friday. Economists say the worst jobs report in more than three years boosts the case for the Bank of Canada to cut its policy rate further.

“The wheels may be starting to fall off the Canadian labour market,” CIBC Capital Markets senior economist Andrew Grantham wrote in a note to clients on Friday.

Carrying the freight Canadians won’t steal;

A Brampton man is facing more charges in connection with an ongoing Peel police investigation into more than $5 million worth in stolen cargo.

The alleged thefts occurred between early December 2024 and late January 2025 and involved a transportation company known as “All Days Trucking.”

In February, Peel Regional Police (PRP) said the company “found freight of interest through a third-party online platform and contacted the victims directly to offer transportation services at a discounted rate.”

They added that the victims reportedly hired All Days Trucking to transport their cargo, however their property was then dispatched to different transportation companies to pick up the trailers and freight.

Manjinder Singh Bura, 41, of Brampton was arrested and charged at the time with one count of possession of property obtained by crime, and five counts each of theft over $5,000 and fraud over $5,000.

Now, PRP say investigators were able to identify two more companies that were involved in these incidents: Velocity Logistics Inc. and Torque Logistics Inc.

As a result, police have now arrested and charged Sukhdeep Singh Brar, 28, of Brampton with 17 counts of theft over $5,000, 16 counts of fraud over $5,000, and 10 counts of possession of stolen property.

CBC- Untangling Mark Carney’s father’s ties to Fort Smith, N.W.T., Indian day school

“A culturally retarded child in the context of the Northwest Territories is a child from a Native background who for various reasons has not been in regular attendance in school,” said Carney.

National Post- CBC unfairly attacks Carney’s father

But the attempt to smear the elder Carney backfired. What Carney’s writings and the interview provided actually suggests is that Robert Carney was a good man, genuinely concerned with both the education of Indigenous children and the maintenance of their cultural pride.

Dan Knight- March Massacre: Canada’s Labour Market Cracks Under Tariff Pressure

The overall picture, however, is bleak. Nationally, Canada lost 33,000 jobs in March. It wasn’t a statistical blip—it was a full reversal of a trend that saw growth through late 2024 and early 2025. Worse yet, this decline was driven almost entirely by full-time employment, which plummeted by 62,000 jobs. That’s not people losing side gigs—that’s heads of households, tradespeople, and career workers getting cut loose.

NBC- U.S. added 228,000 jobs in March, beating forecasts

The U.S. added 228,000 jobs in March, far more than the 140,000 economists had expected. Unemployment ticked up slightly to 4.2% from 4.1% the month before.

Grounded.

At Monday’s Airbus Summit 2025 in Toulouse on the sustainability of the aviation sector, the company’s CEO provided several details about the nature of its hydrogen aircraft project. Originally slated to enter service in 2035, the aircraft was postponed with no specific timeline in mind.

This is expected to represent at least a five to ten year delay. The delay enables Airbus to establish whether the project itself is still feasible while allowing time for new technology to develop to facilitate the aircraft’s construction.[…]

The project was initially launched in 2020. The aircraft, named ZEROe, is part of Airbus’ plan to “bring a hydrogen-powered commercial aircraft to market.” The hydrogen fuel cell technology was selected in 2025 as the preferred means for the future plane.

Airbus’ official statement at the time read that it remained “committed to the goal of bringing a commercially viable, hydrogen-powered aircraft to market” but noted that “development a hydrogen ecosystem – including infrastructure, production, distribution and regulatory frameworks – is a huge challenge requiring global collaboration and investment.”
