New supply management law won't save the system from Trump, experts say

69% Left coverage: 16 sources

A new law meant to protect supply management might not be enough to shield the system in trade talks with a Trump administration bent on eliminating it, trade experts say. “It’s certainly more difficult to strike a deal with the United States now with the passage of this bill that basically forces Canada to negotiate with one hand tied behind its back,” said William Pellerin, a trade lawyer and partner at the firm McMillan LLP. “Now that we’ve removed the digital service tax, dairy and supply management is probably the number 1 trade irritant that we have with the United States. That remains very much unresolved.”See the Story

Israel-Hamas conflict: Tension at Montreal college worse after Quebec's investigation

88% Left coverage: 16 sources

The director general of a junior college in Montreal says a recent government investigation into the climate at the school may have had a chilling effect on teachers. Benoit Morin says the investigation exacerbated tensions at Vanier College, which has been under scrutiny since last fall due to complaints that the Israel-Hamas war had created an unsafe atmosphere on campus. The Quebec Education Department published a report last week about Dawson and Vanier colleges that found the schools have little control over course content, including language classes focused on Palestinian culture.See the Story

If Newfoundland hydrogen companies pivot, government says it will collect royalties

85% Left coverage: 13 sources

Despite a lagging market for green hydrogen, the Newfoundland and Labrador government says it still plans to collect royalties from the province’s nascent renewable energy industry. Steve Crocker, minister of industry, energy and technology, says his department is keeping a close eye on developments in the industry and will come up with an appropriate royalty regime if any of the proposed wind-powered hydrogen operations pivot to focus exclusively on wind energy. He also said the province’s Crown power utility would weigh in if any of the companies are pitching to supply the province’s power grid.Business · Newfoundland and Labrador See the Story

Anti-landmine advocates urge Canada to try keeping Ukraine, others in Ottawa Treaty

86% Left coverage: 14 sources

Canadian advocates are urging Ottawa to protect the 1997 treaty Canada brokered to stop the use of landmines, as six countries on Europe’s eastern flank move toward using the explosive weapons. “I’m deeply concerned about this,” said Sen. Marilou McPhedran. “Thousands and thousands of lives have been saved because of this treaty.” Global Affairs Canada says it’s in talks with countries moving away from the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention, often referred to as the Ottawa Treaty, which since 1999 has banned the use, production, stockpiling and transfer of anti-personnel landmines.Canadian Politics · Canada See the Story

How Rhode Island finally pushed a partial assault weapons ban over the finish line

55% Center coverage: 11 sources

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Passing a new law restricting assault weapons took Rhode Island lawmakers more than 10 years, but it may offer a road map to other states looking to ease the proliferation of such firearms. For advocates, the fight is a prime example of the current challenges to passing gun control measures in the U.S., particularly surrounding semiautomatic rifles that have become the weapon of choice among those responsible for most of …Providence, Rhode Island · Providence See the Story

Quebec language watchdog now says it's OK to use 'go' to support sports teams

79% Left coverage: 14 sources

Quebec’s language watchdog has changed its tune on whether it’s acceptable to use the word “go” to cheer on sports teams. In a new guideline posted in its online dictionary, the Office québécois de la langue française says that while “allez” is the preferred term, it’s now “partially legitimized” to use the English word to show encouragement. The flip-flop comes after the office took a hard line with Montreal’s transit agency, pressing it for months in 2024 to scrub the word “go” from the electronic signs on more than 1,000 city buses.Bloc Québécois · Quebec See the Story
