Housing Minister Steve Clark of Ontario has resigned from his position following the findings of the province's integrity commissioner, which revealed breaches of ethics related to the Ford government's Greenbelt land swap controversy. In a statement, Clark expressed that his involvement in the Greenbelt decision and the subsequent investigations had become a distraction from addressing the pressing issue of housing affordability. The integrity commissioner's report attributed lapses in oversight to Clark and his chief of staff, resulting in the removal of 7,400 acres of land from the Greenbelt. Clark initially contemplated staying to rectify the situation but ultimately decided to step down to ensure the focus remained on crucial governmental work.✅ . . #SteveClark #GreenbeltLandSwap #Resignation #EnvironmentalPolicy #OntarioPolitics #GreenbeltProtection #LandUse #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

👉Calgary has officially repealed a bylaw requiring businesses to charge a minimum bag fee and provide single-use items only when requested. The bylaw, enacted in January, faced swift political and public backlash, leading to its repeal just two weeks later. With a vote of 12-3, council agreed to scrap the controversial bylaw. Under the now-repealed rules, businesses were required to charge a minimum fee for paper and reusable bags and provide single-use items only upon request. The repeal comes into effect immediately, prompting a need for a larger conversation on behavior change.✅ . Rahman Travels 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚-𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐝𝐚 𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭!

👉The Manitoba government has announced the extension of its temporary cut to the provincial fuel tax until the end of September, three months beyond the initial plan. This move, eliminating the 14-cent tax on a litre of fuel, was implemented from January 1 and was originally slated to conclude by the end of June. The decision to extend the tax cut follows the recent increase in the federal carbon tax, prompting Manitoba to seek its removal. Premier Wab Kinew emphasized the government's commitment to mitigating rising costs and maintaining competitive fuel prices, with further budgetary adjustments anticipated, including changes to education tax rebates and initiatives supporting electric vehicles.✅ .

👉The Canadian federal government has opted for a rebranding initiative, renaming the Climate Action Incentive Payment to the "Canada Carbon Rebate." The change aims to enhance clarity and understanding of the existing rebate program without altering its mechanics. Finance Canada's press release emphasized the need for a more intuitive name, acknowledging the previous nomenclature's complexity. The carbon pricing system, implemented since 2019, seeks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by levying charges on fossil fuels. Labour Minister Seamus O'Regan stressed the importance of using language that resonates with the public to improve communication on this intricate issue.✅ .

👉Starting Monday, eligible Canadians will receive the first 2024 carbon pricing rebate, officially named the Climate Action Incentive payment. Applicable to residents in carbon-taxed provinces like Alberta and Nova Scotia, the rebate will be automatically provided through direct deposit or cheque, contingent on income tax filings. Notably, residents in BC, Quebec, and the Northwest Territories are ineligible. The federal carbon pricing plan, featuring a 10% supplement for small communities, will double to 20% in April, acknowledging elevated energy needs and limited clean transportation. The rebate varies based on household size, with a family of four receiving specific amounts, as outlined by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC).✅ $386 in Alberta $264 in Manitoba $184 in New Brunswick $328 in Newfoundland and Labrador $248 in Nova Scotia $244 in Ontario $240 in Prince Edward Island $340 in Saskatchewan .
