WSIB Rejects Unions Latest Offer
TORONTO, June 09, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--After hearing nothing from the employer for over a week, the union and employer met to exchange proposals, but remain far apart on wages, workload, and employer cuts to seniority rights. The union has made significant movements to try and find a fair compromise, but after significant setbacks, the mediator made the decision to call-off the mediation.
OCEU is deeply disappointed that the employer rejected our proposal and hasn't presented their own in over a week. The union amended our proposal in the spirit of negotiation to bring the employer closer to addressing the workload issues which are impacting our members health and well-being. Despite our reasonable offer, the employer still refused to counter our proposal.
OCEU/CUPE 1750 remains available to negotiate but needs to see a meaningful move by the employer to meet our members core needs. Picket lines will continue until a fair deal is reached.

Billionaire has a three-word blunt response to the falling dollar
Billionaire has a three-word blunt response to the falling dollar originally appeared on TheStreet. A Bitcoin evangelist and billionaire, Max Keiser, has made headlines with another chilling wearable active prediction about the US dollar. In a recent post over at X, Keiser said the US Dollar is getting "euthanized by Bitcoin," accompanied by a cartoon—a doctor holding a Bitcoin logo is about to administer a lethal injection to a distressed dollar bill. Keiser's incendiary remarks coincide with rising voices acknowledging the weakness of the dollar as it loses importance around the globe, as Bitcoin becomes increasingly preferred. Adding to Keiser's story, MicroStrategy executive chairman Michael Saylor has also expressed similar thoughts. Saylor, in a recent long-form interview with Jordan Peterson, disparaged the dollar, comparing it to a "22nd-century" asset with a 19th-century design. He put forth a 'perfect gold" analogy, arguing that due to Bitcoin's limited 21 million coin cap, its ability to be transferred in a peer-to-peer manner makes it a superior store of value. 'If God said, you know, I'm going to implement a system of 21 million gold coins, but we're going to call them God coins, and I'm going to keep them in a bank in heaven, and I'm gonna let you transfer, you know, any amount. I'm gonna let you subdivided by 100 million, and we'll call them Satoshis, and I will let you transfer peer to peer and pay anybody, anytime, instantly, at the speed of light,' said Saylor. Saylor's track record of making MicroStrategy, a $500 million company, competitive against companies like Microsoft adds to his gravitas. He made the point that gold, to name just one traditional asset, lacks the divisibility and transferability that Bitcoin possesses, thus furthering Keiser's crusade for a change in financial philosophy. As Bitcoin's influence grows, Keiser and Saylor's warnings fuel discussions on whether the dollar's reign is nearing its end, urging investors to reconsider their financial strategies. As of June 10, the DXY value is 99.06. Over the past three years, the DXY has declined by approximately 8.28%.

Canada's EV mandate must be repealed, Ford Canada CEO says
Ford Canada CEO Bev Goodman said June 10 that Canada's zero-emission vehicle mandate must be repealed as the consumer appetite for electric vehicles falls dramatically short of government requirements. 'The targets on full battery-electric vehicles need to be aligned with what customers want, and customers have spoken,' she said at the Canada Automotive Summit, hosted in Vaughan, Ont., by the Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association. Goodman said the automaker's EV sales dropped 'like a stone' to start 2025 after the $5,000 federal EV incentive program ran out of cash in mid-January. Sign up for Automotive News Canada Breaking Alerts and be the first to know when big news breaks in the Canadian auto industry. Ford Canada does not release monthly or quarterly sales results, but nationwide figures show ZEV sales in February and March slid to 20,878 vehicles. That's down 44.2 per cent compared with the same two months a year earlier, according to the latest data available from Statistics Canada. ZEV sales for February and March represented 6.6 per cent of total vehicle sales in Canada, far short of government adoption requirements. The legislated federal targets require ZEVs to account for 20 per cent of automaker sales in model year 2026, 60 per cent in 2030 and 100 per cent in 2035. Goodman said without the incentives and other enablers that will allow Canadians to go electric such as charging infrastructure, Ottawa is not positioned to deliver on its 'very aggressive' targets. The same applies to the provincial EV mandates on the books in Quebec and British Columbia, she said. 'Ultimately, it will have a negative impact, if these mandates stick, on the industry. It will have downward pressure on vehicle sales, it will have upward pressure on pricing, and those are real concerns for consumers and the industry as a whole.' Goodman said Ford and other automakers that build vehicles in Canada are engaging with Ottawa on getting the legislation repealed. Environment and Climate Change Canada, the lead federal department on the mandate, known officially as the Electric Vehicle Availability Standard, did not immediately respond to request for comment.
