HALIFAX - A former president of Ukraine delivered an uncompromising message on Sunday about the prospects for a negotiated peace with Russia during a security conference in Halifax. Petro Poroshenko warned the Halifax International Security Forum that Russian President Vladimir Putin can’t be trusted to negotiate a deal. Poroshenko, who was president from 2014-2019, said Russia had reneged on security guarantees given in deals signed between the two countries in 1994, 1997 and 2015. He said the agreements ultimately didn’t save Ukraine from Russia’s armed invasion of his country on Feb. 24. Poroshenko also assured the forum that political leaders in Ukraine are united.

CUPE, Ontario government reach tentative deal; strike called offTORONTO — A union representing 55,000 Ontario education workers reached a tentative deal with the provincial government Sunday, averting a strike that had been planned for the next day. The Canadian Union of Public Employees said the deal was no different than what the province offered last week before the union issued a five-day strike notice. But there was ultimately no movement on that front during talks throughout the weekend, said Laura Walton, president of CUPE's Ontario School Board Council of Unions. The four-year deal comes with a $1-per-hour raise each year, or about 3.59 per cent annually. Education Minister Stephen Lecce said the biggest beneficiaries of the tentative deal are Ontario students, who will not have to miss class due to a strike.

Just days after that bullish jobs report, Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem endorsed this upside-down view in a speech in Toronto. He elaborated his theory that current inflation is the result of an overheated labour market, “unsustainable” low unemployment, and rising wages. Now Macklem has said the quiet part out loud: unemployment must increase, and he’s going to make it happen. In his Toronto speech, Macklem claimed maximum sustainable employment cannot be observed; we only know we’re below it, if inflation is too high. Never mind that there’s no evidence wages are fuelling inflation: real wages have been falling, and workers’ share of GDP has shrunk.
