Third teenager charged with second-degree murder | SaltWire #newsupdate #news #halifax #policeOTTAWA - Canada's low labor productivity level puts the country at risk of losing of billions of dollars of investments to Mexico, as the so-called nearshoring boom spurs companies to move supply chains to North America, economists and lobby groups say.
