The US has backed down on a demand that a re-negotiated NAFTA contain a requirement that 50 percent of parts made in cars here in Canada come from the US. It was a staggering expectation and the auto unions say it would have put carmakers out of business in Canada. Some say the Ontario economy stands on two legs. One foot is in Oakville and the other in Oshawa. Then, video of the accident in which an Uber self-driving car hits a woman walking her bike on a dark, dark roadway. Some are saying that it may not be possible to stop a car in time — even a super-smart car — when something like that happens. Below, it’s embarrassing when two police cars collide on their way to a call. The question is, what happened in Peel Region early Wednesday? Pam Seatle of City News is asking the question. Finally, if you want something to dislike, try the third-world problem called Boko Haram. Ugh.
