The political approach taken is that flawed Americans are inside the ownership structure of Government supported, or to be supported, Canadian infrastructure projects.

1. is better US billionaire backed investment the only other option?
2. would Chinese investment be any worse.

There's plenty to disagree with the nature of the projects chosen (also a key criticism in OP), and the projects that China would/could help with would be far more progressive, human, and have a futurist Canadian involvement for sustainable generations.

Fundamentally, addressing poor employment quality requires that more workers gain greater access to collective bargaining.

A court document reveals what a criminologist calls a "striking list" of offences by a Winnipeg police officer who used his position to engage in a range of illegal activity for which he's now expected to serve prison time.

Const. Elston Bostock leaked police information to associates involved in illicit activity, shared a photo of a dead topless woman with other officers, used his connections to get contacts out of tickets, and took goods — including whisky and cigars — in exchange for favours and more, a court heard Friday.

"It really was quite a striking list of charges against this officer," said Frank Cormier, a criminologist and instructor in the sociology department at the University of Manitoba.

"The best way to describe it is that it's certainly not common, but it's not nearly as uncommon as it should be."

With flu cases now rising in Canada, medical experts are bracing for a difficult influenza season linked to the global spread of an evolving H3N2 strain that could be a mismatch for this year’s vaccine.

The ongoing flu season abroad has been marked by record case counts in the southern hemisphere, and an early start to the season across parts of Asia and the U.K. As Canada heads into the winter, it could be a bellwether of what’s to come.

There's speculation that a mutating type of H3N2 is behind that early surge. It's a strain of influenza A that's typically known for more severe infections, especially among older people. But what's particularly troubling some experts this year is that those latest mutations are widening the gap between this virus and our available flu shot.

For the first time in more than 100 years Albertans are talking about a general strike, inflamed by the provincial government's use of the notwithstanding clause to force striking teachers back to work.

The Alberta Federation of Labour (AFL) includes 24 unions, representing 175,000 workers. Its president, Gil McGowan, also leads a larger collective called Common Front, which has agreed to treat an attack on some workers' rights as an attack on all workers’ rights.

McGowan has said unions will encourage workers — who are incensed by the provincial government’s suspension of bargaining rights — to volunteer for recall campaigns and prepare for a possible general strike.

But what are the legalities around a general strike? What moves could the Alberta government take to stop it? And if it does go ahead, when should it happen?
