Ontario minimum wage now $ 16.55 per hour

What is Hamas end game? Israel reaction was predictable. So was US support of Israel. Hamas on its own has no chance against Israel/US. So what commitments has Hamas received from other terrorist groups and what has it promised in return.

Christine Sinclair is the GOAT in women’s soccer. Thank you especially for everything you have given to the Canadian national team

Toronto Maple Leafs about to sign Nylander to 11M+ AAV contract so that the core 4 salaries will exceed 50% of the salary cap. Mgmt is doubling down on a strategy that does not and will not work

Judges are supposed to be impartial and seen to be impartial. Premier Ford saying he will only appoint people who agree with his positions on public policy issues is wrong. Politicizing the judiciary undermines and weakens the checks and balances built into our democracy.

The Ontario minimum wage is increasing to $ 17.20 per hour on October 1st or $ 35,776 a year based on a 40 hour work week.

Keys to Leafs playoff success: - Marner: a point a game - Nylander: + 1 or better for series in plus/minus - Samsonov plays as well as Boston duo

Leafs down 3-0 after 2 periods. Season is over. Keefe & Marner have to go and a new goalie is needed. The team pays almost 50M to the offensive minded core 4 and play dump & chase in the playoffs. It’s embarrassing.

Westjet strike: this is a head scratcher. Normally submitting unresolved bargaining issues to interest arbitration is intended to avert the negative implications of a strike on both parties. Now that the union has decided to go on strike what is the point of interest arbitration?

Trudeau telling the labour board to end the rail strike is not getting enough attention. Why didn’t he introduce back to work legislation as governments have done in the past? Will the courts conclude the decision violated the Charter?

Once upon a time a Canada Post strike was a big deal. Now, not so much.

Ontario Human Rights Tribunal dismisses 93% of complaints with no hearing. Time from complaint to hearing is 4 to 10 years. That’s why many lawyers are now bringing court cases instead

Canada Post strike: Oops he did it again. Trudeau directs labour board to end this strike and maintain expired collective agreement until May 2025. Union will claim a violation of s 2 (d) of the Charter (ie the right to strike under the freedom to associate)

Ontario college teachers heading for work to rule/strike action. Domestic student tuition freeze and reduction in the number of international students has resulted in decreased revenues.

If AC flight attendants continue illegal strike with union leadership support then AC will have to give up right to go after union for damages to get a deal. And if a deal is reached in the new few days it will. Meantime it will cost ordinary Canadians $ 1000s to rebook flights

For as long as he plays for the Leafs John Tavares will be the successor to Mats Sundin as the team leader.

Trump completely unhinged & unopposed. Dems are rudderless. Congress has abdicated its duties. USSC has expanded the executive power doctrine. Military does his illegal bidding. His friends own much of the “free” press. Big law & major universities have caved to his bullying.

First, US kidnaps Maduro, then demands all countries to stop sending oil to Cuba to create a humanitarian crisis to cause regime change, and most recently killed Iranian leader. Neither the US Senate nor Congress approved these decisions. Something has gone very wrong in the US
