Subject: Ruling over translation contract could cost CRA millions
Here we go again. Now the Canada Revenue Agency is in the stew for a few million dollars thanks to a bungled tendering process.
This is a penalty imposed by the courts. The CRA refused to accept a Canadian International Trade Tribunal decision, appealed to the federal court and lost. Neither the tribunal hearing or the appeal is done without considerable expense. Penalties will be on top of the higher price already being paid for translation services. It is not a matter of �could cost�. It is a matter of how many millions it will cost.
It appears that distrust of the CRA is well-founded. A bilingual management is no protection against ineptitude. A return to hiring based on qualifications and experience is in order.

Subject: Canada, U.S. to co-host summit to discuss diplomatic response to North Korea threat
This is an interesting development. US President Trump critics have been nearly hysterical about the President�s actions respecting North Korea and the dangers of the President having the power to initiate a nuclear strike on North Korea.
Now it turns out that the US has been working with Canada and other allies for many weeks to create a summit of foreign ministers to seek a diplomatic solution. The call for an emergency session of the UN Security Council is the usual knee-jerk reaction to any change in global security, but the US is not averse to seeing if something (anything?) will change. The usual response has been to employ trade and fiscal sanctions which have not proven to be effective.
Despite the threats President Trump has made in Tweets and publicly, the US is not currently proposing unilateral action against North Korea. That may change if North Korea engages more threatening actions such as nuclear tests. There will come a point where the threat level requires an admission that diplomacy has failed, and active action is required.
Despite Freeland�s official statement that a diplomatic solution is �essential and possible� Canada is a neutral co-host and spectator at the proposed summit. All we can offer is verbal support. It is reassuring that the US, led by Trump is not going rogue.
The US media was all over Trump today seeking a reaction to the latest missile launch. Trump responded with �we will handle it� without offering details as to how. The US media is painting the response as onerous. That is consistent with North American media politics.
Canadian Press seems to be the only wire service to report on the upcoming foreign ministers summit and Global News Canada the only news outlet to cover the story.
We live in interesting times.
