Independent Convenience Stores Across Canada Prepare to Celebrate National Convenience Week and Call for Action to Help Local Stores Stay Open
TORONTO, /CNW/ - As Canada prepares to mark National Convenience Week in the last week of August, the United Korean Commerce & Industry Association of Canada (UKCIA) is proud to highlight the essential role independent convenience stores play in keeping our communities safe, connected, and well-served. Across Canada, independent convenience stores are more than just neighbourhood shops – they are trusted community hubs. Store owners and their employees build lasting relationships with customers, watch out for local safety, and uphold strict age-verification practices for products such as lottery tickets, alcohol, and tobacco. UKCIA members and their affiliates have built their businesses on the principles of responsibility, fairness, and service. Yet, as highlighted in a recent commentary from a Toronto store owner, these values are being tested. Increasing overregulation - such as the federal ban on nicotine pouches in convenience stores - is hurting honest retailers while fuelling the illegal market. Nicotine pouches are a Health Canada approved smoking cessation product, but since their removal from convenience store shelves, independent store owners estimate losing an average of $75,000 in gross sales per store annually. Customers openly tell retailers that these products are now readily available through illegal sellers. By banning legal, controlled sales in licensed convenience stores, the federal government has handed the black-market a near monopoly on a product designed and approved by Health Canada to help Canadians quit smoking. That's bad for public health, bad for small business, and bad for community safety. Convenience stores have not just lost the sale of nicotine pouches; they have lost the foot traffic that leads to a bag of chips or a bottle of pop. For many UKCIA members $75,000 in gross revenue is the difference between survival or closing their doors. UKCIA is calling on Canada's new Health Minister, Marjorie Michel, to meet with convenience industry representatives to understand the significant impact her predecessor's unilateral decision has had on small businesses across Canada. At a time when economic uncertainty is at its peak, small business owners need all the help possible to stay afloat. The industry hopes the new Health Minister recognizes the power she has to support small businesses in this country and repeal her predecessor's irrational and insulting ministerial order that unfairly targeted small business owners. Reinstating these sales of pouches in convenience stores would: Provide adult smokers with easier access to a federally approved cessation product. Allow small businesses to recover significant lost revenue and foot traffic in their stores. Reduce the growing illegal nicotine market offering unregulated products without requiring proof of age. During National Convenience Week, UKCIA invites Canadians to support their local stores and recognize the tireless work of independent operators who contribute to safer, more vibrant communities. Independent convenience stores want to work with government to find solutions that protect public health, keep communities safe, and ensure that honest retailers - not criminals - are the ones serving Canadian customers. About UKCIA The United Korean Commerce Industry Association of Canada (UKCIA) represents over 2000 independent convenience store owners across Canada, advocating for fair regulation, safe communities, and the success of small business entrepreneurs.

Union members interrupt Air Canada press conference
By Flight attendants crashed an Air Canada press conference in Toronto on Thursday to demonstrate their growing frustration over pay and working conditions. The flight attendants, who are members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), held signs saying 'Unpaid work won't fly,' and 'Poverty wages = UnCanadian.' The interruption pushed the visibly frustrated Air Canada representatives to abruptly cut the conference at the Sheraton Toronto Airport Hotel less than halfway through. 'Unfortunately, we'll have to interrupt this press conference here. I'm really sorry about the questions we have not been able to answer,' the mediator said. Dozens of long-haul international flights are already cancelled Thursday as Air Canada prepares for a possible strike this Saturday, Air Canada executive vice-president Mark Nasr told reporters. 'We are very disappointed by the actions of CUPE, which will potentially inconvenience hundreds of thousands of customers and Canadians,' said Air Canada executive vice-president Arielle Meloul-Wechsler. By Friday, 500 flights will be cancelled, affecting 130,000 travellers per day, of which 25,000 are Canadian. 'This is a situation that was, and still is, avoidable,' she added. Union members share the frustration, saying the company shows a lack of will to engage. 'They've preferred to ask the government directly for intervention,' said CUPE's Philippe Bonneville, who represents Air Canada flight attendants in Montreal. He noted the airline has already gone to Minister of Jobs and Families Patty Hajdu to invoke binding arbitration and force employees back to work before a strike has even happened. 'It's like the nuclear option,' he said. Air Canada has noted it 'believes recent government interventions in rail, port and airline labour disruptions in Canada provide a proven precedent.' Union members also hope to avoid a strike. Shanyn Elliott, a CUPE representative for Air Canada and former flight attendant, said she hopes an agreement can be worked out over the next day and a half, and a strike would be a last resort. '(Government intervention) would take away our right, as a membership, to vote on something that would be presented to us,' she said in a phone interview Thursday. 'The current government has been very clear that bargaining the best deals are done at the table, and that's something that we stand by as well.' Negotiations at an impasse Air Canada has been bargaining with the Air Canada Component of CUPE for more than eight months. The union served a 72-hour strike notice Wednesday, and Air Canada issued a lockout notice in response. The airline claims CUPE negotiators rejected an offer that included a 38 per cent compensation increase over four years (including eight per cent in the first year) and addressed unpaid time. But Bonneville says the 38 per cent figure factors in costs of the health, dental, and eye care benefit plan. 'It is not a 38 per cent pay increase,' he said Thursday. 'It's great to have greater health benefits, perhaps greater vacation, but that doesn't put more food on the table, and it doesn't help to pay your rent or your mortgage.' CUPE and Bonneville have said Air Canada offered a nine per cent wage increase, followed by a three per cent increase each year over three subsequent years. 'The nine per cent, based on our calculation, does not even recover the inflation that we've seen over the past five years since the pandemic,' Bonneville added. For Air Canada, CUPE's demands have been 'unsustainable' and have wasted precious negotiation time, Meloul-Wechsler said. 'They made the very last days of negotiations meaningless by making unsustainable offers. They refused our offer of arbitration to solve the impasse they had created, and they sent us a strike notice as soon as they were legally able to do so.'

U.S. State Department targets Online News Act in human rights report
OTTAWA – The U.S. State Department has released a new human rights report that takes aim at Canada's Online News Act. The bill, which requires Meta and Google to compensate news publishers for the use of their content, is cited in a section of the report on freedom of the press. Prime Minister Mark Carney indicated last week he is open to repealing the legislation. While Meta pulled news from its platforms in response to the 2023 law, news outlets are now receiving payments from a $100 million Google fund. Carney killed a digital services tax that would have applied to many large U.S. tech companies after U.S. President Donald Trump halted trade negotiations with Canada over the tax. Last week, a group of U.S. Republicans urged the Trump administration to push Canada to kill a separate bill that forces large streaming companies like Netflix and Amazon to make financial contributions to Canadian content and news. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 14, 2025.
