Ontario, wtf are you doing???

In the current NAFTA 2.0 agreement, signed in 2018, there is a 6-year renegotiation provision. That’s what Trump is using to change a whole host of things in the deal.

Opposition MPs are expressing concern that after buying up two major Canadian companies, the foreign owner of one of Canada’s biggest forestry businesses is now also formally taking over an Indonesian-Chinese pulp and paper conglomerate from his family — a company he has long denied operating in tandem with.

A half-page notice quietly published by the European Union on Monday states that Jackson Wijaya, owner of Paper Excellence, is acquiring “sole control” of Asia Pulp & Paper from his father, Teguh Ganda Wijaya (also known as Oei Tjie Goan).

CBC News originally reached out to Paper Excellence with emailed questions on Thursday afternoon, but the company did not immediately respond. Shortly after this story was published on Friday, a Paper Excellence spokesperson confirmed the ownership transfer of APP, writing in an email that the latest development represents “normal course succession planning” by the senior Wijaya.

The controversial conglomerate has a record of forest destruction in Indonesia and has been a target of Indonesian and global environmental groups.

That’s a tradeoff a lot of Quebecers are making these days. More than 780 doctors left the public system there last year, compared with 14 in the rest of Canada combined. The exodus of doctors for the private sector in Quebec has increased 70 per cent in just four years, according to data from its Health Ministry.

Patients who spoke to White Coat, Black Art describe a situation where even those who do have a family doctor may face a month-long wait for an appointment, making it a choice between getting out a credit card or waiting all day at the hospital for an acute problem like pneumonia or a urinary tract infection.

Critics say the situation in Quebec should act as a warning of what could happen elsewhere in Canada if incremental steps in the direction of privatization are allowed to add up to giant leaps.

Earlier this month, Quebec Health Minister Christian Dubé announced his government would table a bill that would force new family doctors and medical specialists trained in the province to devote the first few years of their careers to the public system.
