Toronto airport strike

If you’re going to or through Toronto by air, beware.

700 ground crew workers at Pearson International are on strike.  They’re employed by Swissport, a company that services 30 airlines including Sunwing; Air Transat, Air France; and British Airways.

The labour dispute could have an impact on some operations but the airport authority says it has a contingency plan.

AFN meeting

Some critics want them all removed, but the Assembly of First Nations chiefs has rejected a call to replace all the Commissioners on the Inquiry into Murdered and Missing Indigenous Woman.

The Chief did pass a resolution at their annual meeting calling for some changes to its mandate.

Chief commissioner Marion Buller says the commitment to listening and acting on the advice from families, advisers and communities remains firm.
