In the news today: labour code changes, ex-envoy on U.S. trade, MapQuest bucks Trump
Bill C-39 would clarify Ottawa’s power to end work stoppages, a former ambassador warns on U.S. ties, and MapQuest gained 3 million new users.
- The Liberal government's Bill C-39 proposes amending Section 107 to explicitly grant the labour minister authority to terminate work stoppages when national interests are at stake.
- Former Canadian ambassador to the United States Kirsten Hillman warned business leaders at the Global Business Forum in Banff, Alta., that deep economic integration no longer resonates with President Donald Trump.
- MapQuest rejected President Trump's order to rename Lake Ontario 'Lake America,' a decision that prompted three million new users to download the app since the executive order.
- Critics argue the proposed Bill C-39 would improperly stretch Ottawa's authority to intervene in labour disputes, despite federal officials claiming the changes merely clarify existing powers.
- Hillman emphasized that Canadians must 'be able to count on our own resilience' rather than assuming close North American trade ties will remain stable under current U.S. policy.
