During the COVID years, when many Canadians were suffering economically, civil servants received full pay and benefits, while often privileged to work from home. Beleaguered taxpayers who stood in line for hours, if not days, for vaccines, passports, plane departures and re-entry can only scratch their heads. Laine Andrews, TorontoI was forced to belong to a federal public service union for 15 years. A much better approach would be to use Canadian technology to help these major polluters to get off coal.

AdvertisementSheeran, 32, is among the witnesses expected to testify, though he was not in court at the start of jury selection. “Thinking Out Loud,” which won a Grammy for song of the year, is a much more marital take on love and sex. While the jury will hear the recordings of both songs, probably many times, their lyrics — and vibes — are legally insignificant. Sheeran’s label Atlantic Records and Sony/ATV Music Publishing are also named as defendants in the “Thinking Out Loud” lawsuit.

This became especially poignant recently as I sat in hospital with a man who was clearly dying. I asked him if he wanted me to try to find is son. All I could hear between the tears from both of them was, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” bouncing back from father to son, and son to father. Then came the son’s wife, then their children — the grandchildren of this flawed but good man on his deathbed. If an estranged father and son can do it, so can those who aspire to high office.

Sales of new GTA homes and condos continued to fall year-over-year in March, according to new numbers released Monday by the Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD). “In March, the pause that we had been seeing in new home sales continued, sales were down significantly from a year ago, inventory has remained tight,” Wilkes added. There were just 384 sales of new single-family homes in the region, down a whopping 57 per cent from last March, and 893 new condo sales, down 73 per cent.

In addition, a group of 11 citizens of Greek origin and Greek interest arrived in Djibouti late at midnight.

This is also the national post-election goal for which we have been working since the first day of our election, and it means cheaper borrowing," Skertsos underlined.

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Jake Oettinger produced another brilliant playoff performance for the Dallas Stars, all the way down to the closing seconds. “We didn’t make them pay for taking penalties last game,” said Stars coach Peter DeBoer, whose team lost 5-1 in Game 3. Frederick Gaudreau gave the Wild another opening on his power-play goal with 1:20 left, but Oettinger didn’t budge. We played the right way. Wild star Kirill Kaprizov, who scored in Game 1 but has been hounded and pounded by the Stars all series, had a breakaway shot brushed aside by Oettinger, too.

As reporters left Chow’s press conference at a rooftop restaurant in Chinatown, two campaigners from her rival Ana Bailão’s team stood by the elevator, handing out a list of labour unions which had endorsed their candidate. But Bailão receiving the blessing of major public sector unions like the CUPE locals is one of the early surprises in the Toronto mayor’s race. One expert says it spells trouble for Chow, while also revealing how labour politics have shifted in recent years. On Tuesday, CUPE Local 79, which represents 20,000 indoor city workers, announced it was also endorsing Bailão. Unite Here Local 75, which represents hospitality workers, and Carpenters’ Local 27, are also backing her.
