    Tesla is recalling the Cybertruck again, this time because a piece can fly off | CNN Business
    https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/25/cars/tesla-recalling-cybertruck/index.html
    Tesla has issued two recalls on the Cybertruck, its third and fourth, since the model was introduced late last year. The latest recall, which includes almost all of the nearly 12,000 trucks on the road so far, involves the truck’s huge single windshield wiper and a piece of plastic trim along the edge of the truck bed. A piece of black plastic trim that runs along the edge of the truck’s angled bed wall can come loose and may detach from the vehicle while it’s being driven.

    Employers turn to temporary foreign workers to fill wide range of jobs
    https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/temporary-foreign-workers-1.7240374
    Data drawn from labour market impact assessments — documents employers need to hire temporary foreign workers — shows the program is on the rise in a range of industries. The program's growth coincided with the government loosening hiring restrictions to help businesses with post-pandemic labour shortages. Some economists criticized that move, saying it undermined healthy competition for workers in a market economy. "All we hear about are labour shortages, [but] we have to begin to recognize that this really is a self-serving narrative mostly coming from corporate Canada," said Mikal Skuterud, a labour economics professor at the University of Waterloo. For businesses, a major benefit is stability, as the workers' permits are tied to their employer, meaning they can't easily quit to work for a rival business down the street. "It guarantees a worker will stay employed with them for the term of the agreement," says the Canadian Franchise Association on its website.
