PR for foreign doctors, Air Transat strike looming, social media ban for kids, and more
Description
The federal government is promising more spots for permanent residency for foreign doctors working in Canada. The goal – keep them in the country, and boost Canadians’ access to family doctors.
And: Canadian travel plans are in jeopardy again this year. Air Transat pilots have issued a strike notice. The airline says - if there’s no deal by tomorrow - it will start grounding flights. Without a deal, those pilots could walk off the job Wednesday morning.
Also: Australia is the first country trying to ban children from using social media. But the rest of the world is watching. The ban goes into place on Wednesday.
Plus: Paramount launches a hostile bid for Warner Bros., anti-hate bill stalls after a deal is brokered without PMO approval, Thailand-Cambodia tensions, alleged hate crime investigated Toronto seniors building, and more.
