And on election night, she indeed lost it. Coming in a distant third in Toronto’s mayoral race raises three exasperating questions for Chow and her supporters: How did this happen? What comes next for Chow? And, most importantly, can Toronto’s left ever win again? When Chow left her seat as a federal MP in Ottawa, she was Toronto’s mayor-to-be. And for good reason. She’s an urban, controversy-free, progressive candidate… View Article

Ottawa to blacklist employers that break provincial labour laws The Conservative government is beefing up its blacklist of Canadian employers with a plan to include not only businesses found to have broken temporary foreign worker program rules, but also provincial labour laws.
