Chinese-made electric vehicles are almost invisible in Canada and the United States, but elsewhere around the globe they are a huge hit, dominating international production and sales for battery-powered cars.
The lack of visibility for popular Chinese-made electric vehicle (EVs) brands in North America is largely because both Canada and the United States imposed a tariff of 100 per cent on their importation, doubling their cost for consumers.

At least six preventable deaths and more than 30 “near-misses” occurred in Alberta emergency departments since the beginning of the year because of overcrowding, according to documents obtained by The Globe and Mail.

When Jordyn Ledgister, who runs an online community for Black doulas, first came across a 2016 McGill University research paper, it confirmed her – and many other Black women’s – concerns about the risks to Black maternal and neonatal health. The study showed that Black mothers in Canada experienced a preterm birth rate of 8.9 per cent, compared to 5.9 per cent among white mothers. “People often like to say there are no disparities in Canada,” she said. “But that study was one of the few that spoke to Black maternal health. As doulas in the Black community, we already knew these...
