Moving goalposts. I also have respect for their athletic abilities and handling of themselves as public figures. However, I am not foolish enough to think that in a split second in front of a coach the stature of Babcock that I would expect an 18/19 year old to make the complex assessment of their rights in that situation, the ins and outs of their rights under the CBA, and how that pertains to the interaction they are having at the time.

Whether the agency will change its name has been a topic of much discussion among fans, as several popular groups incorporate Johnny's into their name. One victim, Yasunobu Shiga, is strongly in favor of a name change due to the pain Kitagawa caused. "The name 'Johnny's' should not even exist given the extent of sexual abuse that occurred," Shiga said earlier. The probe also cited Fujishima's late mother, who was also Kitagawa's older sister, as a major factor in the long-term coverup of sexual abuse at the firm. A U.N. human rights delegation interviewed multiple alleged victims in Japan and released a statement in early August, urging the Japanese government to lead efforts to conduct a transparent investigation and support sex abuse victims.

Using their market power, the grocery companies use aggressive strategies and lower-price store-brands such as President’s Choice to kill competition. One reason Kleenex, the marketing pioneer of tissue paper, lags Scotties in Canada goes back to 1995-7. Another constraint on Kleenex would be that Kruger just launched Bonterra, a new “sustainable” brand of tissue products for the Canadian market. Grocery chain purchasing policies, which favour lower prices, are important contributors to the shape and size of the tissue market — but as enhancers of competition.

The commission on electoral representation will submit its findings to politicians within the next month. (CBC/Radio-Canada - image credit)Quebec's electoral map could look different the next time the province goes to the polls. The commission decides on the electoral changes, but MNAs are consulted — a process which is sometimes fraught because changing the electoral map is controversial. Montreal, however, is not the only place that could lose out under the current revision of Quebec's electoral map. But changes to the electoral map, particularly the elimination of a riding, are generally unpopular, according to Louis Massicotte, who served as commissioner for the Quebec component of the last federal electoral riding redistribution.

‘I challenge everybody to shop locally for Christmas and help these guys out’Leaders in Hay River, N.W.T., say they’ll be lobbying the territorial and federal governments to find additional support for local businesses after a five-week evacuation due to wildfire. Hay River’s evacuation order lifted Saturday, allowing residents to return, though the town remains under an evacuation alert in case the nearby wildfire flares up again. In prior disasters, the town has been able to benefit from federal funding through the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency (CanNor). Hay River senior administrative officer Glenn Smith said the town received about $1.5 million for its flooding last spring. “It’s just not enough to cover the costs that these businesses were incurring during a lengthy evacuation,” he said, adding Hay River businesses were impacted by multiple rent payments as one example of expenses.
