Air Canada mess is a lesson for government
The government’s goal of reducing spending across the board is too much like Air Canada cutting all of its flights overnight without due process. Budgeting is both about money and effectiveness. When the focus is only on the money, the link to the end user’s satisfaction is broken.
Liberals’ unconstitutional and ‘offensive’ use of Labour Code in Air Canada dispute marks ‘turning point’: union leader
The government’s move will likely be struck down in court, says labour law professor Ravi Malhotra, but litigation takes time, giving the employers ‘an advantage’ in labour disputes when the feds step in.
Liberals set themselves up for turbulence on workers’ rights
Since stepping into the political fray, Prime Minister Mark Carney has pledged to do everything he can do protect the Canadian economy in the face of the threats from United States. But that economic lens has come with a set of blinders.

Official languages education sector disappearing thanks to our broken immigration system
Canada stands to lose more than revenue and jobs. We are losing a sector that strengthens our identity, boosts productivity, and fosters diverse communities.
To build a better housing market, stop taxing housing like cigarettes
The first thing governments need to do, collectively, is address the fact that housing is taxed at double the rate of the rest of the economy. Sin-taxing housing drives down the rate of homebuilding, just as cigarette taxes have driven down smoking rates.
