New federal wage protections for part-time and temp workers are coming soon. Will they work? Original
A long-overdue change to the Canada Labour Code will soon ban certain forms of wage discrimination against part-time and temporary workers in federally regulated industries, but experts warn the way the law is written could limit its impact. The new “Equal treatment” rules, first enacted in 2018, will prohibit employers from paying their workers at different wage rates based on their employment status. But even the federal government itself forecasts the changes, set to take effect on Oct.

One day last December, Julian Reusing pulled his managers into a virtual meeting to lay bare an uncomfortable truth.

Many U.S. manufacturers will be hit hard by Canada’s counter-tariffs — but they don’t blame us Original

Doug Ford may need a reality check on his tariff tough talk
Premier Doug Ford is touting Canada’s electricity, oil and critical minerals as potential leverage in the escalating U.S. trade war, but experts warn our hand may be weaker — and much riskier — than his tough talk implies. Canada does not have as much clout over U.S. electricity supplies as Ford has suggested, and moving to weaponize oil and critical minerals could be “dangerous,” industry analysts told the Star.

Trump teases a ‘Keystone XL’ revival, but Canadian energy experts say a similar pipeline is already underway
The Keystone XL pipeline, a Canada-U.S. oil conduit derailed by two successive American presidents, may be making a comeback amid fraught trade negotiations with the U.S. On Tuesday night, U.S. President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social that the Keystone XL pipeline, an abandoned pipeline project that was to run from Alberta’s oilsands to Texas refineries through Steele City, “may be awoken from the grave.” In the same post, he claimed that Canada and the U.S. have a deal and the new 50 per...

Matt Johnston has spent the better part of the last 30 days preparing for U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest tariff threat.

If Trump follows through on his threats starting Wednesday, those same lagers and ales will face a 50 per cent tariff — something, Johnston said, he simply can’t manage.
