Tesla is facing a lawsuit from a former employee who alleges he was attacked by an industrial robot at the company’s Fremont, California, factory. The worker claims the malfunctioning robot pinned him down and left him with serious injuries, including a broken back and ongoing trauma.

The lawsuit argues Tesla failed to maintain proper safety protocols and training to prevent such incidents.

As the Trump administration moves to limit some skilled workers from entering the U.S. on a specialized visa, the Canadian tech sector is champing at the bit — hoping the new restriction will send talent up north. 

The H-1B visa, whose champions include Tesla founder Elon Musk, is a common immigration pathway for international tech talent recruited by U.S. companies. But the White House is slapping a $100,000 US fee on new applications for the visa, forcing companies to pay steeply for their recruits or otherwise find workers in the U.S.

H-1B visas were already hard to get, as thousands of foreign students learn every year upon graduating from U.S. universities, says Becky Fu von Trapp, an immigration lawyer and founding partner at Von Trapp Law PLLC in Stowe, Vt. 

“Canada has built an entire industry by capturing this talent. And with this $100,000 fee, that trend is about to grow much stronger,” she said. “This is almost a gift because every time the U.S. closes the door on global talent, Canada gains.”

Canada will almost certainly benefit from the U.S.’s move to limit new H-1B visas, according to immigration lawyers, talent recruiters and company executives who spoke with CBC News. But some argue that the country can’t rely on its southern neighbour as a feeder for top tech talent, either.

“There’s going to be a net benefit effect for Canada across the board,” said Andres Pelenur, an immigration lawyer and founding partner at Borders Law Firm in Toronto.

🗣 Roy Jones Jr. called Floyd Mayweather “low class” for posting clips of him getting knocked out, after Jones said a prime Sugar Ray Leonard would beat Floyd and criticized him for not naming Muhammad Ali as the GOAT. Jones challenged Mayweather to fight, accusing him of cherry-picking opponents and never facing a prime top black fighter on his level. He pointed to Canelo being young, Pacquiao coming off a KO loss, and no fight with Terence Crawford.

“In my humble opinion, it’s almost safe to say that Pacquiao had a better career than Mayweather had. He didn’t make the money Mayweather made, but he fought the fights that were supposed to be fought, when it was time to fight them. He didn’t wait around.” Jones also recalled Mayweather once saying, “I chose currency over legacy,” adding that’s why he can’t be considered the GOAT.
