During the segment, Liedtke and Valaitis explored several critical points regarding the state of the Canadian automotive industry:

The "$100" Stake Sale: Stellantis liquidated its 49% stake in the brand-new $6 billion joint venture for a mere $100, despite having already invested $1 billion in "cold hard cash" into the project.

Corporate Retreat vs. Pivot: While local investment agencies characterized the move as a "strategic pivot" for operational certainty, Liedtke argued it was a "corporate withdrawal" intended to escape future liabilities and debt.

A National Pattern: Liedtke noted that Stellantis is reportedly pursuing a similar strategy in Indiana with its Samsung StarPlus venture, indicating a broader move away from direct ownership of battery manufacturing.

The Subsidy Shift: The discussion highlighted how the EV transition has faltered as government subsidies have changed, specifically noting the loss of the Biden-era subsidies following political shifts in the United States.

The Chinese EV Threat: They discussed the entry of inexpensive Chinese EVs into the Canadian market, noting that while they offer advanced technology like integrated drones and "hot" designs, they raise severe national security concerns and labor issues due to the use of slave labor in China.

The perpetrators—an ISIS-radicalized father and son—exploited severe systemic failures within Australia’s security apparatus. Despite the son being on a national security watchlist since 2019 and the pair recently visiting a known jihadist hub in the Philippines, the father maintained a legal firearms license for six weapons under the same roof as the son. This disconnect between intelligence databases and gun registries allowed a high-risk household to remain armed, leading to a daylight mass-execution that sent shockwaves through the global Jewish community and the world more broadly.

While the tragedy highlights a breakdown in security, it also brought forward acts of profound heroism and communal resilience. 

Ahmed Al Ahmed, a Syrian refugee and local shop owner, risked his life to tackle one of the shooters, sustaining multiple injuries while successfully disarming the attacker. This act of cross-community bravery stands in stark contrast to the hate that fueled the massacre. 

Boris and Sofia Gurman, 69 and 61 respectively, attempted to prevent one of the terrorists from opening fire on a highway. After several minutes of struggling back and forth, the terrorist overpowered them, regained his weapon, and shot the two of them, with both dying.

May their memories be blessings.

In Windsor, Ontario, the local Jewish community mirrored this resilience by proceeding with its annual riverfront Hanukkah lighting under heavy police protection. Supported by local officials, the event served as a necessary act of defiance against a backdrop of increasing threats and a refusal to allow international terror to silence local Jewish life.

The Bondi massacre serves as a dire warning for Canada, where antisemitism has reached record levels. According to B’nai Brith Canada, 2024 saw 6,219 reported incidents—an average of 17 per day and a 124% increase since 2022. This surge includes a nationwide pattern of violence, from the firebombing of synagogues in Montreal to repeated shootings at Jewish schools in Toronto.

I explained how Ottawa built the legal "floor" (decriminalization), while provinces constructed the "walls"—creating a reality where business rules and home-grow rights change dramatically across borders.

We explored the friction between public health and market access, citing insights from industry experts like sociologist Andrew Hathaway and lawyer Trina Fraser. Whether it’s the confusion around consumption lounges or the ban on home cultivation in certain provinces, we break down why this complexity is a constitutional feature, not a flaw.

Many residents and even politicians, have long viewed them as a the latter and simply a cash grab. This perspective has been reinforced by the recent focus on “lost revenues” -millions of dollars that have disappeared from municipal coffers – rather than any measurable decline in road safety concerns since the cameras’ status changed. Conversely, some who support the cameras argue that objecting to them is essentially arguing for the right to break the law without consequence.

Adding a layer of unintended political irony to the conversation is the Ford government’s recent track record on signage and decals. The speed camera issue is now part of a “three-run streak” of high-profile “flubs” involving materials that were either too big, didn’t stick, or didn’t reflect properly. This includes the gas-pump anti-carbon tax stickers which couldn’t stick, license plates that couldn’t be read at night by police (or anyone), and the current problem with speed camera signs being too large for some municipalities’ existing street poles, prompting the provincial government to pay – at our collective expense – to replace the poles.

This series of public failures related to basic administrative materials has resulted in “bad optics” for the government. The irony is particularly sharp given the Premier’s background as a former CEO of a labels company. While these mistakes may not reflect poorly on the overall governance, they certainly hurt the public image of a “competent businessman,” as he is seen to be failing in a realm where he should be a “master of the universe”.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/68833614Tue, 02 Dec 2025 16:26:18 +0000Jon LiedtkeJon Liedtke joins The Gene Valaitis Show on Niagara’s 610CKTB to discuss the ongoing debate about speed cameras in Ontario and whether they are truly about road safety or merely a revenue generating tool.

The 'I've Seen This Movie Before' moment is over.

Prime Minister Mark Carney, the former Bank of England Governor known for his dire Brexit warnings, is now fighting for his political life as his own nation’s economy buckles under a catastrophic "Pincer Crisis."

External to the crisis is the escalating trade war, with President Trump's tariffs on Canadian steel (50%), autos (25%), and energy (10%) crippling industrial heartlands like Hamilton and Windsor. Mass layoffs are looming at plants like National Steel Car, forcing thousands of workers onto the unemployment line.

Internally, this external shock is hitting an already fragile economy. With GDP per capita declining for three years and a public debt burden soaring, the economic foundation is crumbling.

Carney’s government narrowly survived a confidence vote, passing a record-setting $78.3 billion deficit budget—a "Trump-Tariff Shield"—designed to buy time and retool industry. The current amount of tax dollars required to service the debt is $1 billion every Saturday night (the start of the new week) - with critics calling it a "$5,400 debt tab" for every family. The question is no longer about recession, but whether Canada's economic model and its political sovereignty can survive this multi-front crisis.

Mark Carney, Brexit, and Trade Issues

• Mark Carney, who was the Governor of the Bank of England during Brexit, was known as the "high priest of Project Fear" due to his dire warnings about economic damage and recession if the UK were to leave the EU.
• The immediate recession he warned about didn't materialize after Brexit.
• Carney is currently framing Canada's massive deficit spending as a "Trump survival plan" to prevent a recession from US tariffs.
• Both in the UK and in Canada, Carney has argued he was performing his duty to warn of risks to financial stability (UK) and economic stability (Canada).
• Canada still does not have a trade deal with the United States.

Impact on Canadian Industry

• The lack of a trade deal and the current tariffs are negatively impacting the steel industry and the industrial heartland, including areas like Hamilton, Brampton, Windsor, and Sarnia.
• National Steel Car, located in Hamilton, is expecting mass layoffs because they haven't had new orders since tariffs on steel imports came in during the spring.
• More than 70% of Canada's exports go directly to the US, and a third of the national income comes from exports.
• The current situation is precarious because, if the tariffs are not removed, industries in the industrial heartland cannot afford to keep waiting.
• The real concern is that if Donald Trump were to be involved in renegotiating the USMCA, he could potentially tear up the entire agreement and apply tariffs to everything.

Missed Opportunities in Diplomacy

• The Foreign Minister, Anita Anand, missed a "golden opportunity" to bring up trade talks with US State Secretary Marco Rubio during a meeting of G7 Foreign Ministers in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
• The minister said it was not her job to address the trade issue, seemingly leaving it to another minister.
• Canada's allies, including the EU, China (receiving a one-year reprieve on a tariff), and Mexico, have had some success in securing or advancing their trade agreements, making Canada's position stand out.
• The question remains why Canada is waiting to address this critical trade relationship, especially since the Prime Minister has been traveling internationally instead of engaging with the US.
• A key reason why seeking trade with Europe is difficult is the high transportation costs compared to the integrated rail and road system with North America.

As the U.S. presidential election year heats up, the political climate is more divisive than ever. Former Congressman Joe Walsh recently shared his thoughts on the current state of American politics, the global implications of U.S. leadership, and the potential for new political movements.

The upcoming presidential election is shaping up to be one of the most contentious in recent history. With controversial remarks from figures like Donald Trump, the political landscape is fraught with tension. Walsh emphasizes the importance of navigating these turbulent waters with a clear vision and strong leadership.

Beyond the borders of the United States, international issues such as the war in Ukraine and tensions in the Middle East demand attention. Walsh argues that the U.S. must play a pivotal role in addressing these global challenges, underscoring the need for robust and decisive leadership.

Walsh paints a picture of a deeply divided America, where traditional political alliances are breaking down. He suggests that this fragmentation could pave the way for new political parties to emerge, offering fresh perspectives and solutions to the nation's problems.

The political dynamics in the U.S. have far-reaching effects, including on its neighbor to the north. Walsh reflects on how historical and current events in the U.S. influence Canadian politics and society, highlighting the interconnectedness of the two nations.

Yes, the freedom to protest is sacrosanct and a really important part of our free, robust democracy.

QUESTION: "The Windsor region is tied for the highest unemployment rate right now in the country. We've seen some of the largest population inflows that we've had in two decades, and of course, it's buoyed right now by the fact we've got major construction projects, we've got the bridge and the battery plant, of course. I'm wondering what your government will do to help alleviate that once these jobs do sunset, the construction jobs themselves, potentially increasing that unemployment rate."

ANSWER PM Trudeau: If we're talking about the NextStar plant, the construction jobs are significant, but there's actually more jobs for Windsorites in the plant, once once it gets up, and those are great union jobs and it's part of what we've been fighting for. We know there is an opportunity to draw an investment here in Windsor where great things have gotten built for a very, very long time. We're going to continue to work to grow the economy and create the opportunities for Windsorites and indeed workers right across the country to thrive in a changing world. Our investments in the future of Windsor are things that aren't unanimous. We know the Conservatives continue to stand against these sorts of investments. We're going to continue to make these investments because we know that bringing in good jobs, creating a stronger, sustainable future is all about building a better future for Windsorites.

As such, I wrote a VERY SERIOUS acceptance speech. The audio of the award presentation (of which I was not aware of!) is below:

Wow, wow, wow! I can’t believe this is happening! I’m so honoured and humbled to receive this award for the Fill-in Announcer of the year at the 2023 Mike & Lisa Awards! This is truly a dream come true – never before has such a dream been realized.

I want to thank the Academy, of course, for recognizing my work and giving me this amazing opportunity, as well as the domestic and foreign press. I also want to thank Mike and Lisa, the best hosts in the business, for trusting me to fill in for them whenever they were sick, on vacation, or just needed a break! You guys are awesome and I learn so much from you! Especially how to dish about local news and gossip without crossing too many lines! Producer Ed manages the board AND SOUNDBOARD like no one else in the biz! 

I also want to thank my family, my friends, my agent, my manager, my stylist, my hairdresser, my makeup artist, my therapist, my dog, and everyone else who supported me along the way. You know who you are and I love you all! Except for you, Steve! You know what you did and why we won’t speak about it publicly. 

And last but not least, I want to thank you, the listeners. While you didn’t have a vote in this contest (which is pretty undemocratic tbh) I like to think that you did. So that solves that. Thank you for listening to me and giving me your feedback. You are the reason I do what I do and I couldn’t have done it without you. You are the best! Well, most of you. Some of you are kind of mean on Twitter. Thank you so much for this incredible honour. I will cherish this moment forever. Thank you, thank you, thank you!]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/59101793Thu, 21 Dec 2023 16:17:00 +0000Jon LiedtkeAM800 CKLW's The Morning Drive with Mike Kakuk and Lisa Williams held their annual Mike and Lisa Awards for 2023 and Jon Liedtke won Fill-in Announcer of the Year.
