More than 70 per cent of Canadians feel the average family is over-taxed
Canadian families pay a lot of taxes to their federal, provincial and local governments — income taxes, sales taxes, fuel taxes and many others. A 2022 study published by the Fraser Institute found that in total the average Canadian family paid 45 per cent of its income in taxes.
According to a new poll, 74 per cent feel the average family is over-taxed. Commissioned by the Fraser Institute and conducted by Leger, the poll surveyed 1,554 respondents spanning all age groups and income levels across Canada.
In 2015, the Trudeau government did reduce the second-lowest income tax rate from 22 per cent to 20.5 per cent.
But the vast majority of families targeted for this tax relief now pay higher federal income taxes than before because the government has also eliminated a series of tax credits — for income splitting for couples with children, for children’s fitness and art, for public transit, for education and for textbooks.

Regulator takes control of Silicon Valley Bank's Canadian branch
A Canadian regulator on Sunday said it was taking temporary control of Silicon Valley Bank’s Canadian branch, as the fallout from the collapsed U.S. startup-focused lender reverberated around the world.
The Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) said it is seeking to gain permanent control of the Canadian unit’s assets, adding that it is asking the attorney general of Canada to petition for a winding-up order.
OFSI said the bank has operated in Canada since 2019 as a foreign bank branch based in Toronto. Its business in Canada is primarily lending to corporate clients, and the branch does not hold any commercial or individual deposits in Canada.
The Canadian unit had C$435 million in secured loans at the end of last year, more than double the amount at the end of 2021, according to regulatory filings.

🚫Ontario considers banning TikTok in public schools
Minister of Education Stephen Lecce said that he spoke with senior ministry officials about the matter.
“I am concerned by what is happening in schools with the proliferation of this technology. Frankly both for the mental health and physical health of children,” Lecce said.
A spokesperson for TikTok, however, has criticized the government for taking an "extreme approach" and blindly following "the baseless trend of blocking TikTok."

🇨🇦🇨🇳China diverts some researchers to Canada after U.S. visa denials, CSIS says
▪️Beijing is using a “workaround strategy” for postgraduate researchers to study cutting-edge technology at Canadian and U.S. universities after Washington began denying visas for some Chinese students on the grounds that they might steal intellectual property with military uses, according to a Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) report.
▪️The CSIS report lays out how China is using students to obtain technology that could be of benefit to the Chinese military, such as quantum computing, big data and artificial intelligence. The report was shared across key government departments and with the CIA, FBI and Britain’s domestic intelligence service, M15, as well as Australian and New Zealand authorities.
▪️Chinese citizens are also switching their majors when moving to Canada so they end up studying in less-sensitive fields where their work would not attract scrutiny.
▪️CSIS has publicly warned that Beijing is threatening Canada’s national security and intellectual property in five sensitive areas of research and development, including quantum theory, photonics, artificial intelligence, biopharmaceuticals and aerospace.

💊Conservative government would launch $44B lawsuit against big pharma: Poilievre
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says if he were to be elected prime minister he would launch a $44-billion lawsuit against pharmaceutical companies to account for what he calls their role in the opioid epidemic.
He said Tuesday that a Poilievre government would join, as a plaintiff, an existing class-action lawsuit filed by British Columbia, seeking an additional $4 billion in damages to the federal health-care system, and launch “a separate federal lawsuit to go after non-health costs, like border security, prisons, Indigenous programming, etc.”
“A total of roughly $44-45 billion is that what big pharma owes federal taxpayers and we're going to put that money towards recovery and treatment,” Poilievre said.
B.C. filed its class action lawsuit in 2018 on behalf of Canada’s federal, provincial and territorial governments to recover costs that “resulted from wrongful conduct of opioid manufacturers, distributors, and their consultants,” according to the province.

🏥Newfoundland and Labrador offers $200,000 bonus to recruit rural doctors
Two days in a row, protesters stood outside the Confederation Building pleading for a stop to rural emergency room closures.
On Tuesday, March 14, people travelled to St. John’s from Whitbourne to voice their concerns. On Wednesday, they came from Bonavista.
Health Minister Tom Osborne said the provincial health authority is now offering another incentive for doctors to practice in some rural, hard-to-staff hospitals: a $200,000 bonus for a two-year return of service agreement.
He said it’s already rolled out for Bonavista, and in the next couple of days it will be offered to any doctor who will practice in New-Wes-Valley, and then offered to doctors who will go to Baie Verte.
$200,000 is stackable on top of the Come Home incentive that offers $100,000 to any Newfoundland and Labrador doctor currently working outside the province to return home to work.

Trudeau picks former governor general David Johnston to probe election meddling claims
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has tapped former governor general David Johnston to investigate claims that China meddled in Canada's last two elections.
Trudeau said last week that he would name an "eminent" and independent person as a special rapporteur on election interference. He said the special rapporteur "will have a wide mandate and make expert recommendations on combating interference and strengthening our democracy."
Johnston is currently the head of the independent Leaders' Debates Commission an independent body that oversees leaders' debates during federal election campaigns. He will step down from that role to act as the new rapporteur, according to a news release from the Prime Minister's Office.

Alberta poised to become first province to require body cameras for all police
The Alberta government is planning to require all police services in the province to use body cameras.
Public Safety Minister Mike Ellis said Tuesday that officers often respond to complex calls and make split-second decisions. That can raise concerns from the public about officers’ actions and whether appropriate force was used.
Ellis said the provincial government will be working with the Alberta Association of Chiefs of Police on funding, logistics and when the cameras will roll out. He said the association is to develop a mandate over the next few months to “swiftly get body cameras onto the streets as soon as possible.”
