Tawadros, dressed in black robes, was the guest of honour at Francis' general audience in a rainy St. Peter's Square. In his greeting to Tawadros, Francis recalled the 20 Egyptian Copts who were kidnapped and beheaded on a beach in Libya by Islamic State in 2015. Copts comprise about 10 percent of Egypt's mostly Muslim population and there are small Coptic Christian communities throughout the Middle East and Africa. Coptic Orthodox Christians trace their origins to St. Mark the Apostle. Tawadros is due to have a private meeting with Francis on Thursday and visit the Vatican department that promotes Christian unity.

Public-sector workers on strike in Ottawa last week. The Public Service Alliance of Canada went on strike starting April 19, seeking a 13.5% wage increase over three years. The deal affects about 120,000 employees, who help process immigration and passport applications and deliver jobless benefits to the unemployed. The agreement doesn’t cover about 30,000 workers at Canada’s tax-collection agency. Employees there remain on strike, and the dispute is expected to affect the processing of tax returns that were due Sunday, officials say.

☆ Canada Government Workers Strike Over Pay to Offset Inflation

Photo: David Kawai/Bloomberg NewsOTTAWA—About 150,000 Canadian government workers went on strike early Wednesday, in a dispute over wage increases that could have implications on efforts by the country’s central bank to sharply slow inflation. The Public Service Alliance of Canada is seeking wage gains of 13.5% over a three-year period, or roughly 4.5% a year. Union leadership said this would help offset the sharp acceleration in inflation in Canada and the rest of the developed world since the initial wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, due to a combination of supply-chain constraints, stronger-than-expected consumer demand, and the war in Ukraine’s impact on commodity prices.
