Description

Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon says if there is no agreement soon, the Industrial Relations Board should order Canada Post workers back to work next week. Negotiations would continue. The four-week strike has hit small business, charities, and people who depend on income support hard.


And: Those small businesses are preparing for another challenge: the GST holiday. It starts at midnight. Some say they have to pay overtime in order to prepare for the switch. And there’s still confusion about which products qualify for the tax break.


Also: The CEOs of four airlines appear before the transportation committee in Ottawa to defend their practice of charging extra fees. The MPs say the goal is more affordable travel. CEOs say government add-ons are pushing up prices.


Plus: Premiers make plans for dealing with U.S. tariff threat, Trump and crypto currency, celebrations in Syria, letters to Santa will still get through, and more.
