One well-placed Liberal source said Defence Minister Anita Anand was in the running to take over at Treasury Board, which has overall control of government spending.

Transport Minister Omar Alghabra, 53, said he would leave the cabinet immediately and not run in the next election. Public Procurement Minister Helena Jaczek, 72, and Fisheries Minister Joyce Murray, 69, said they also would not run again.

REUTERS/Chris Helgren/File PhotoVANCOUVER, July 19 (Reuters) - Striking dock workers on Canada's Pacific coast on Wednesday issued a new 72-hour walkout notice just hours after a federal watchdog ruled their current stoppage was illegal. Amid mounting calls for resolute government action to end the strike, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau convened a meeting of the Incident Response Group. Some 7,500 dock workers have been picketing the two ports almost non-stop since July 1. Its leader, Jagmeet Singh, ruled out support for a law to end the strike. That means Trudeau would need the votes of the Conservatives, who have been trying to court workers and unions, or the separatist Bloc Quebecois.

REUTERS/Chris Helgren/File PhotoOTTAWA, July 19 (Reuters) - Canada's Transport Minister Omar Alghabra on Wednesday said he was running out of patience with striking Pacific dock workers when asked if the government would pass back-to-work legislation, a politically tricky move that requires opposition support. The left-leaning New Democrat Party (NDP) has been helping Trudeau's minority government pass legislation in parliament, but on Wednesday NDP leader Jagmeet Singh ruled out support for legislation forcing workers back on the job. "Don't signal in any way that you're going to bring a back-to-work legislation because that's going to undermine the workers," Singh told reporters was his message to the government when asked about back-to-work legislation in Windsor, Ontario. It also means that the Liberal-NDP deal that is keeping the government going could be put under strain if Trudeau chooses to force an end to the strike.

REUTERS/Chris HelgrenVANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 13 (Reuters) - Dock workers at ports along Canada's Pacific coast and their employers accepted a tentative wage deal on Thursday, ending a 13-day strike that disrupted trade at the country's busiest ports and risked worsening inflation. "The British Columbia Maritime Employers Association (BCMEA) and International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) Canada are pleased to advise that the parties have reached a tentative agreement on a new 4-year deal," the BCMEA said in a statement. The union had made demands including wage increases and expansion of their jurisdiction to regular maintenance work on terminals. He offered terms drafted by a federal mediator and gave the union and employers 24 hours to decide if they were satisfied.

Darryl Dyck | Bloomberg | Getty ImagesThe strike at the Canada's West Coast ports is over, after both the labor union and port ownership accepted a deal presented by federal mediators. ILWU Canada union workers were expected to be back on the job for the 4:30 p.m. Pacific time shift on Thursday, but undoing the damage to the supply chain from close to two weeks of strike will take weeks. While the production ramp down at the ports was seen immediately, the congestion as a result of the 13-day strike will have a lasting effect on ports. The International Longshoremen and Warehouse Union of Canada begin its strike on July 1. The ports strike has already damaged the U.S. supply chain.

Pilots at Onex Corp-owned (ONEX.TO) WestJet gave notice on Monday that could allow for strike action as early as May 19, raising fears of travel disruptions during Canada's Victoria Day holiday weekend. Pay is still the outlier," said Bernard Lewall, a union representative with the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA). "We need to narrow that gap between the North American carriers and WestJet," he said on Tuesday in an interview. Lewall declined to give a specific wage target, but said the airline must pay more to retain pilots. "We hope this measure will help WestJet passengers who otherwise could not travel due to the pilots’ strike,” said Flair CEO Stephen Jones.
April 18 (Reuters) - Transport Canada said on Tuesday Hyundai Auto Canada Corp pleaded guilty to six different counts of criminal charges for violating the Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Hyundai Auto Canada failed to send out notices of safety defect within the prescribed time period of 60 days, the statement said, and the company will pay a fine of $360,000. "It is alarming that Hyundai failed to notify vehicle owners of a recall in a timely manner on six different occasions," Transport Minister Omar Alghabra said. Some of these recalls were safety risks related to possible vehicle fires, reduced braking performance and sudden loss of engine power. "Hyundai Canada recognized that during the COVID pandemic, it was not meeting the precise timing requirements identified in the applicable regulations in a limited number of instances.
Guvernul Canadei învinuiește imprudența iraniană pentru doborârea în anul 2020 a zborului 752 al Ukraine International Airlines. Raportul evidențiază nesăbuința, incompetența și lipsa de respect a autorităților iraniene față de viața umană. De asemenea, concluzionează că relatarea oficială a Iranului asupra evenimentelor este nedefinită, înșelătoare, superficială și ignoră în mod deliberat factorii cheie”. „Totalitatea informațiilor disponibile determină echipa criminalistică să concluzioneze că Iranul a urmărit mai multe ținte, dar nu a putut face diferența între avioanele de pasageri și amenințările legitime. Toți cei 176 de pasageri și echipajul au decedat.

Canada a condamnat marți, 25 mai, Belarusul pentru decizia regimului Lukașenko de a deturna o cursă Ryanair pentru a aresta un un jurnalist, opozant al regimului lui Aleksandr Lukașenko. Canada a declarat că examinează posibilitatea de înăsprire a sancțiunilor existente, scrie Reuters. „Această decizie a fost luată pe baza unei analize a impactului practic (asupra) contactelor bilaterale actuale”, a declarat ambasadorul în funcție Evgeny Russak prin e-mail. Comerțul bilateral al Canadei cu Belarus a valorat doar 31,9 milioane de dolari în 2020, potrivit ministerului de externe al Canadei. Protasevici a fost inclus de către autoritățile din Belarus pe lista teroriștilor, dat în căutări interstatale.
