The Wendysification of corporate Twitter has now come for the Canada Revenue Agency, which has started posting Minions memes for some reason. The tax organization surely instilled confidence in Canadians today by tweeting, "Bello bananaaaa! Bapple choppa mooka-laka ooh-na-na!" along with a GIF of Bob the Minion jumping. The CRA even added the hashtags #CdnTax and #DespicableMe4, just to remind everyone how this is a movie about the henchmen of an evil supervillain. UPDATE (7/4, 2:38 p.m. ET): The CRA has evidently thought better of its social media strategy, since the tweets have been deleted, leaving posts roasting the company in their wake. In a subsequent tweet, the CRA (kind of) clarified the reason for the post: "Oops, the minions were at it again! What they meant was: The kids wearing you out? At least applying for the #CanadaChildBenefit is easy — AND you can do it one-handed on your phone." Maybe if they spent a little less time watching Minions movies, they would have time to do our taxes for us, instead of making us do them ourselves and getting us in trouble if we make a mistake!

But Honda President Toshiro Mibe defended his company's decision He said Honda's new driving force is his decision to no longer sell vehicles that emit carbon dioxide by 2040 replacing them with electric or fuel cell vehicles "We'll compete in a decarbonization race from now on," Mibe said Honda will also hit the brakes on producing hybrid vehicles that run on a combination of gasoline and electricity The decision has stirred a backlash and uncomfortable feelings even among its employees who say it is an "easier-said-than-done target." The automaker decided to shut down an engine parts plant in Mooka When it offered an early retirement program to all Honda employees aged 55 and older or 5 percent of its full-time workforce in Japan But I already had a hunch when I was working as an engineer that cars would be increasingly electrified to make (engines) a thing of the past before too long," said Mibe "That trend is approaching with the flow of decarbonization." While the European Union intends to effectively ban the sales of new gasoline-powered vehicles in 2035 President Joe Biden has signed an executive order that will require half of all new cars sold in 2030 to achieve zero emissions Honda's move seems to have been influenced by the shift to electric vehicles in overseas countries A former employee described it as a "strategy of ushering someone to the second floor and removing the ladder," which has been passed down through successive generations of Honda engineers It means setting a high goal and driving employees to achieve it One successful example was the development of the CVCC engine in the 1970s When the Clean Air Act was enacted to severely regulate exhaust gases in the United States Honda was the first automaker to meet the stringent standards It led to the huge success of its Civic model And when it met California's low emission vehicle standards in the 1990s Honda's exit from combustion engines appears not completely unrelated to a sense of stagnation that has lingered at the company in recent years Although Honda has always been a top-tier company in terms of engine technologies in developing hybrid vehicles in the 1990s It also fell behind its rival by a large margin in terms of the number of units sold and profits "I think it wants to be a game-changer by concentrating on next-generation technologies while Toyota keeps hybrid vehicles as an option," said a senior member of a parts manufacturer When Mibe hosted a teleconference in early summer he faced a barrage of questions from presidents of about 30 affiliated auto parts makers who said they were baffled by Honda's sudden decision and that they were worried about their future work volume "We wanted them to be prepared for electrification by showing them our future goal in a clear-cut manner," a Honda executive said the executive added: "It's only natural that they won't survive unless they do something different." Electric and fuel cell vehicles account for less than 1 percent of all cars currently sold by Honda with the remaining 99 percent powered by combustion engines "We are tied up with work at the moment," said the president of an engine parts manufacturer in Saitama Prefecture "Even though we are told to think about the future because there will be no more work But the crisis is not a thing of the distant future the credit research company Teikoku Databank Ltd announced the first bankruptcy case in Japan apparently caused by the shift to electric vehicles which had provided planning and designing services for machines and metal molds used to make engine parts the company was named in tribute to Honda Giken Kogyo Having provided support to an overseas automaker to develop an engine its sales reached 1.3 billion yen ($11.8 million) in or around 2000 But with its clients shifting to electric vehicles the company's sales plummeted in or around 2015 decided to close the company after he failed to win an order to make a machine used to manufacture parts for Honda's next model engine Ode gave an apologetic speech in front of 10 employees explaining that the company's workload had decreased rapidly due to the novel coronavirus pandemic and the shift to electric vehicles The president said he had made every effort to shift to electric vehicles Ode showed employees reports from a securities firm that urged the company to find new contracts while he ventured into producing brake parts also essential to electric cars it wasn't enough to cover lost profits from engine-related parts which accounted for 80 percent of the company's sales "We needed to make efforts to change our business model I want other companies in the same business to learn that lesson," Ode said Japan's automotive industry has a pyramid structure with Honda and other leading automakers at the top gas stations and other related businesses on lower rungs The industry employs about 5.5 million workers in Japan who also serves as head of the Japan Automotive Manufacturers Association has estimated that the employment of 700,000 to 1 million people will be affected if combustion engine cars are replaced by electric and other zero-emission vehicles while remaining dependent on thermal power generation to provide power to factories Honda to end its Clarity Fuel Cell model in August Honda sets 2040 target for zero gasoline vehicles Toyota to spend 1.5 trillion yen on EV battery development Honda of America plans to sell 2 fully electric SUVs in 2024 Toyota to test carbon-free hydrogen engine on racing circuit EDITORIAL: Shift away from engine-driven vehicles a chance for growth Information on the latest cherry blossom conditions Please right click to use your browser’s translation function.)

use it for motivation Mooka’s nine-year-old son Tyrique will be watching from home but it is her younger brother whose absence will be felt as she makes every run and tackle “I lost one of my younger brothers to suicide,” Mooka said revealing a rare insight into the heartbreak she has suffered and the resilience required to get to this level “It’s been overwhelming and I’ve got emotional a few times,” she said of her time in Camp Maroon “If there’s one thing others can take away from my journey you just keep going at it and you never give up.” Mooka is playing for more than just the jersey even more than playing for her family and the loved ones she has lost “I’m going to give it my everything; I am doing this for my people," Mooka said I am really proud to represent where I came from because it’s such a tiny island with only 200 people “All of these little girls who have been watching me at local indigenous carnivals for 10 years have been commenting on social media saying ‘you’re my idol’ “For those young girls to say that and feel that I’ve inspired these young girls and given them hope that there is a chance to make it to the big time “I’m only just starting to realise how important Women’s State of Origin is how big this is and how much it means - not just to me but all of my friends and family and the whole Torres Strait.” In pictures: Maroons in action against NSW a monthly sport publication under the directorship of Mpho Mooka will on 13th May next year host a Sport Exposition at the National Stadium The 2022 Expo;
