Mediator Appointed in Canada Post Strike as Workers Demand Better Conditions

A special mediator has been brought in to help resolve the ongoing strike by Canada Post workers, which has disrupted mail delivery across the country. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), representing 55,000 employees, walked off the job early Friday after negotiations with Canada Post failed to produce an agreement. The union claims that Canada Post has refused to address key concerns regarding working conditions and job security, leaving workers with no choice but to strike. Canada Post, meanwhile, maintains that the union's demands are unaffordable, citing significant financial losses in recent years. The strike has halted mail and parcel delivery, with some post offices closed and service guarantees suspended. This disruption comes at a critical time for businesses, particularly with the holiday shopping season approaching. Small businesses, especially those in rural areas reliant on Canada Post, are facing […]

Israel Expands Ground Operation in Southern Lebanon Amid Escalating Conflict with Hezbollah

In an escalation of the ongoing conflict, Israel's defense minister, Israel Katz, announced on Wednesday that the country has expanded its ground operation in southern Lebanon.

Tiafoe Fined $120,000 for Shanghai Masters Outburst

Frances Tiafoe, the rising star of American tennis, has been hit with a significant financial penalty following a heated exchange with a chair umpire during the Shanghai Masters last month. The ATP, the governing body for men's professional tennis, announced on Thursday that its fines committee had levied a $120,000 fine against Tiafoe for his conduct during his loss to Russian player Roman Safiullin. The incident, which occurred during a crucial moment in the final set tie-break, stemmed from a disputed time violation call. With the score tied at 5-5, Tiafoe was preparing to serve when umpire Jimmy Pinoargote issued a time violation, indicating that Tiafoe had exceeded the allotted time between points. Visibly upset, Tiafoe argued with Pinoargote, claiming he had already tossed the ball in the air and was ready to serve. "No, no, no, no, I tossed […]

Canada Soccer to Seek New Women’s Team Coach After Suspensions Over Drone Incident

Canada Soccer has announced that women's national team head coach Bev Priestman and two of her assistants will not be returning to their roles following a one-year suspension by FIFA over a drone incident at the 2024 Paris Olympics. An independent investigation found issues with the "unacceptable culture and insufficient oversight" within Canada's national teams. The probe identified two coaches who directed "improper surveillance" of opponents prior to the Olympics, though it found no evidence that players viewed the drone footage. Canada Soccer said the search for a new women's team head coach will begin shortly. The organization is also implementing changes, including mandatory reporting of unethical behavior and new software for confidential reporting, to address the problems uncovered by the investigation. The drone scandal resulted in Canada being fined and docked six points at the Olympics, despite the team […]

Australia Sides with Majority of UN Members to Recognize Palestinian Sovereignty

In a significant diplomatic move, Australia has broken ranks with its close allies the United States and Israel by voting in favor of a United Nations resolution that recognizes the "permanent sovereignty" of the Palestinian people over the occupied territories of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.

Billionaire Mining Magnate Vows to Challenge Australia’s Proposed Political Donation Reforms

Clive Palmer, the billionaire mining magnate and founder of the United Australia Party, has threatened to launch a High Court challenge over the Australian government's plans to curb political donations. The Albanese government is set to introduce legislation next week that would cap donations to political parties at $600,000 per year and limit individual donations to candidates and politicians to $20,000. The proposed reforms would also impose spending caps of $90 million for federal campaigns and $800,000 per electorate. Mr. Palmer, who spent over $100 million to win just one Senate seat in the 2022 election, claims the reforms are designed to "suppress competition" and limit the ability of independents to run for office. He accused the Labor and Liberal parties of working together to "control Australians" and their democratic freedoms. "As an Australian citizen, I will challenge these unconstitutional […]
