Canada slaps 100% shock tariff on Chinese autos and tightens temporary worker visas

To complete the conservative turn, Ottawa announced a 20% surcharge on temporary work visa restrictions, arguing that it needs to ease pressure on the supply of residential rentals in cities such as Toronto and Vancouver.
