[1/2] A helicopter passes idle shipping cranes towering over stacked containers during a strike by the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Canada (ILWU) at Canada's busiest port of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, July 11, 2023. 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.

☆ Canada PM Trudeau's top aide to testify in parliament on Chinese election meddling
  + stars: | 2023-03-21 | by ( Ismail Shakil | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
OTTAWA, March 21 (Reuters) - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau bowed to pressure from the opposition and agreed to allow his top aide to testify before a parliamentary committee probing alleged Chinese election interference, his office said on Tuesday. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has repeatedly called for Trudeau's chief of staff, Katie Telford, to speak in a parliamentary committee looking into the foreign election tampering. The government had refused until the leader of the New Democrat Party, which supports Trudeau in key parliamentary votes, on Tuesday backed the Conservative call. Demands for Telford's testimony stem from allegations in unconfirmed media reports that Trudeau's aides were made aware of specific Chinese interference attempts. In a bid to further address Chinese meddling, Trudeau last week appointed David Johnston, a former governor general, as an independent special investigator into the allegations.
