The union representing more than 700 foremen in British Columbia is accusing the workers' employers of "acting recklessly" by threatening an industry-wide lockout to close all provincial ports by 8 a.m. PT Monday.
Frank Morena, president of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 514, said the B.C. Maritime Employers Association (BCMEA) publicly released a final offer on Saturday, aspects of which BCMEA said "could change if negotiations dragged on and the economic or inflationary landscape continued to shift." Specifically, the employers association listed four items at risk.

Alberta premier wins leadership review with 91.5 per cent approval
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith secured 91.5% support from United Conservative Party (UCP) members in a leadership vote, reaffirming her position and highlighting the party's unity and strength. In her acceptance speech, she called for continued collaboration to effectively govern against opposition parties. While many members praised her performance, some factions, like the 1905 Committee and Take Back Alberta, criticized her for not fully delivering on pandemic-related accountability. Despite this dissent, all 35 policy resolutions, including contentious measures on transgender rights and climate targets, were passed with wide support during the UCP's annual meeting.

Man sentenced to 3 years for sexually assaulting woman he picked up on highway, assaulting teenage girl
A man who sexually assaulted a woman he picked up on the side of the road in northern Manitoba last year and assaulted a teenage girl years earlier, in what a prosecutor called "egregious" offences, has been sentenced to three years in prison, minus the time he's already served.
As a result, there was just over a year left in the sentence Armand Thrones was handed in August, after he pleaded guilty to both counts, which were related to two separate crimes in 2023 and 2019. Both victims' identities are protected by a publication ban.

Province says 3 Toronto bike lanes could be entirely 'ripped out,' mayor vows to fight
Ontario's transportation minister says bike lanes on three major Toronto streets could be removed entirely, not just in sections, under a proposed regulation.
The Progressive Conservative government tabled a bill last week that would require municipalities to ask the province for permission to install bike lanes when they would remove a lane of vehicle traffic. The government has said these bike lanes are contributing to gridlock, a claim critics have disputed.
The province also announced it was moving faster to review and remove bike lanes on sections of Bloor Street, Yonge Street and University Avenue through a proposed new rule.

Scott Moe downplayed Sask.'s rural-urban election divide. Here's what the polls show
With the exception of Saskatchewan's most northern constituencies, the Saskatchewan Party is either leading or projected to win in all ridings outside the province's largest cities in the 2024 provincial election.
The NDP, meanwhile, is either leading or projected to win nearly all Regina and Saskatoon ridings, ousting several veteran cabinet ministers in the process.
Despite that, projected premier-designate Scott Moe said he disagrees that the election demonstrates an urban-rural divide in the province.

Alberta's neighbours saw their own stark rural-urban election splits in new political reality
In the wake of the May 2023 election, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith observed a significant shift in the province's political landscape. Her United Conservative Party (UCP) secured a majority, dominating rural areas but facing challenges in urban centers. Smith noted that the left, represented by the NDP, has consolidated its power, creating a clear two-party divide. A map of the electoral results shows the UCP's stronghold in rural regions, winning 37 of 41 seats outside Calgary and Edmonton. Conversely, the NDP claimed all 20 seats in Edmonton and 14 of 26 in Calgary, highlighting the urban-rural split in Alberta's political landscape.

Canada Post, union talks ongoing with no strike notice but CUPW says it could be issued if talks break down
Canada Post is in negotiations with the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) as it faces challenges in the competitive parcel delivery market. Both sides have agreed not to issue a strike notice as long as talks are productive. CUPW members have voted overwhelmingly in favor of a strike if necessary, with 95.8% of urban workers and 95.5% of rural workers supporting the mandate.
Canada Post's latest contract offer includes an 11.5% wage increase over four years and protections for pensions and job security, but the union believes it falls short of their demands. The corporation has reported a loss of $490 million in the first half of 2024 and aims to negotiate a more flexible delivery model, including seven-day-a-week service. Federal Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon is facilitating discussions between the two parties.

Alberta ban on trans women in female sports advances as athletic association questions need
A new bill introduced in Alberta aims to ban transgender athletes from competing in female sports divisions, establishing "biological female-only" categories based on sex registration at birth. Tourism and Sport Minister Joseph Schow stated that the government supports the creation of mixed-gender divisions for broader inclusivity. The debate over transgender inclusion in sports centers on concerns about competitive advantages versus the importance of affirming gender identity for mental health. While major sports organizations like the NCAA and IOC have specific guidelines for transgender athletes, rules differ widely. Schow noted that the province does not track the number of female transgender athletes. The terminology used, such as "biological female," often raises concerns about the implications for transgender identities.

5 Westboro bus crash lawsuits against city can proceed after class action refused
A proposed class action lawsuit against the City of Ottawa that failed to get certification after years of appeals can now proceed as an individual case, along with four new claims related to a fatal bus crash in 2019, a Superior Court judge has ruled.
It's coming up on six years since a double-decker OC Transpo bus slammed into the awning of a shelter at Westboro station on Jan. 11, 2019, killing three people and injuring dozens of others. So far, the city and its insurers have paid out a combined $29.4 million on 24 settlements related to the crash. There are 11 remaining claims, the city said Wednesday.

How high-speed rail would change Ontario and Quebec — if it actually happens
The Canadian federal Liberal government is expected to unveil detailed plans for a high-speed rail line linking Montreal and Toronto, a project long awaited by many. The proposed line would include stops in cities like Peterborough and Ottawa in Ontario, and Laval, Trois-Rivières, and Quebec City in Quebec. Laval's mayor, Stéphane Boyer, emphasized the transformative potential of this connection for both Quebec and Canada, highlighting its environmental benefits. If realized, the train could reach speeds of up to 300 kilometers per hour, significantly faster than current Via Rail services. However, questions remain about the timeline and the project's eventual implementation.

Federal legislation would require some charities to disclose whether they provide abortion services
The federal government has introduced legislation that would require charities providing reproductive health services to state clearly whether they offer abortion or abortion referrals.
Organizations that fail to clearly tell their clients whether they provide these services could risk losing their charitable status.
Marci Ien, the minister for women and gender equality, said Tuesday the legislation is meant to combat the spread of "misinformation" by some charities.
