The post Chinese EVs are coming to Canada, and dealers are eager to sell them appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA — Michael MacGillivray sees the arrival of Chinese electric vehicles in Canada as a potential game changer. “I think it is going to a be a huge eye opener,” said MacGillivray, who oversees 10 dealerships in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, Canada. As the CEO of Century Auto Group and SIGMA Auto Group, MacGillivray is working to become one of the dealers in the country who will sell imported Chinese EVs. In April, he went to the Beijing Auto Show with other dealers from Canada to establish relationships with Chinese automakers and get a feel for the cars and SUVs they could eventually export to his country. “When I was in China, I was very impressed by the Chinese vehicles,” he said. “They have materials that are second to none. Their styling is impressive. The ride is very impressive.” Not everyone likes the idea of Canada allowing the sale of EVs impor
If you think about it, it’s in the national interest for Apple to work with Intel to develop at least some capacity for silicon production outside of Taiwan. It’s also in Apple’s interest, as its continued growth means it needs more and more chips to put inside an ever-expanding product catalog. During Apple’s Q2 26 fiscal call, CEO Tim Cook said the lack of what he called “high-end nodes” is affecting sales, particularly for Macs. He shared this news even as the company’s MacBook Neo is setting new sales records for the Mac. Apple’s success is creating a chip problem The need to source all those chips might have prompted Apple to reach out to Intel on how the two firms could work together on processor production once again. Supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo now believes Apple is evaluating Intel’s advanced node technologies with a view to processor supply. “Apple’s wafer plans at Intel reflect the technology lifecycle of the [Intel] 18A-P series: small-scale testing in 2026, ramp in 2
The post Canada: Energy lifts CPI, BoC focus on core – TD Securities appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. TD Securities’ Senior Canada Economist Robert Both expects Canadian Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation to rise to 3.1% year-on-year in April, driven mainly by higher energy and food prices and base effects from last year’s carbon tax changes. Core measures (CPI-trim/median) are projected near 2.1–2.2%, leaving the Bank of Canada (BoC) focused on underlying inflation rather than the temporary headline overshoot into the June policy decision. Energy shock lifts headline inflation “We look for CPI inflation to firm by 0.7pp to 3.1% y/y in April as prices rise by 0.6% m/m, underpinned by another sharp increase for gasoline and other energy products. Base effects from eliminating carbon taxes in April 2025 will also add to the acceleration on a year-ago basis.” “Higher oil/fertilizer prices will also keep upward pressure on food and airfares, but we do not expect broad strength outsid
The post Signal, US lawmakers threaten action against Canada over Bill C-22 surveillance powers appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. US tech giants, lawmakers, and encrypted messaging services are opposing Canada’s proposed Lawful Access Act, with messaging platform Signal warning that it would rather withdraw from the country instead of complying should the bill be passed, given its current provisions. Critics say the proposed bill, known as Bill C-22, if passed, would break encryption and mandate mass metadata collection. Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree introduced the bill, and it would require telecoms, internet companies, and messaging platforms to build surveillance capabilities for police and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS). It would also compel core providers to retain user metadata for up to a year. Signal draws a line on encryption Udbhav Tiwari, Signal’s vice-president of strategy and global affairs, told reporters at The Globe and Mail that the c
