Yeah but you had to be in Calgary, surrounded by Calgarians to do it. I’ll pay $8/L to avoid that.

FYI: https://bit.ly/3JTrlDO
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.

Oh god I hate those sort of headlines: "Carney just declared ECONOMIC WAR!"
Holy hyperbole.
This is no different to USA's "Buy America Act" which has been in place for decades.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | 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.
