The government will introduce a new policy to ensure the federal government buys from Canadian suppliers, require local content when domestic suppliers are unavailable, extend this approach to all federal funding streams and Crown corporations, and provide a roadmap for provinces and municipalities to apply similar standards to their own procurement,” reads a news release from the Prime Minister of Canada.
Carney will also be introducing a series of other measures “for workers and businesses in those sectors most impacted by U.S. tariffs and trade disruptions.”
A strong, confident workforce
A new Strategic Response Fund
Immediate liquidity relief
Assisting Canada’s canola and agriculture producers
Regional Tariff Response Initiative
Further driving Canada’s economic transformation will be the government’s recently-launched Major Projects Office. This office plans to “fast-track nation-building projects, and will soon launch Canada’s Defence Industrial Strategy, Canada’s new Trade Diversification Strategy, and Build Canada Homes.

I dont understand how this is special. Anyone who thinks this is special must live under a rock, and it just goes to show how stupid our government is for not having some level of this prior to this.
Every project I've ever worked on, and company I have worked with has a Local/Indigenous Content Policy, which states, among other things, that we will do our utmost to hire people as close to the project as possible. In addition to that we sign IBA's with local stakeholders, etc.
The fact that the Federal Government announcing something like this makes headline news as being so great, is actually appalling.
My friends in Calgary own an investment property in Aspen Woods... some huge ass house completely done out in crazy material and walk in wine cellar blah blah blah... they rent it to a major oil company executive, more than $10k a month and he doesn't even pay it, just a company expense.
Pretty nice life when you get paid millions and also don't even have to pay for your house either. What a bunch of poor guys just trying to get by, can't possibly lower prices!

What I want to know is -- how do they pull it off without CRA getting on their case? Le wifey is self-employed, and we've asked our accountant about writing off expenses. Essentially, his answer was -- you can write anything and everything off until CRA decides to give you an audit. And when they do, you better have a damn good reason for every single item that you've expensed in terms of how it constitute a necessary business expense. Because of the nature of her job, we couldn't even expense a car lease.

Yeah but there’s no tax jail here you just pay some arbitrary fine and even then you can stretch that over long periods of time so you might as well run some horseshit business at a loss for 4 years, close up shop and open another horseshit business. All the while claiming everything and anything. Cheating on taxes is like my second favourite thing next to ripping off Costco.
