Fluor Joint Venture Awarded Front End Engineering and Design for Proposed Second Phase of LNG Canada Facility in British Columbia
IRVING, Texas — Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) announced today that its Joint Venture (JV) with JGC Corporation has been awarded the contract to update the Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) for a proposed Phase 2 expansion of the LNG Canada facility located on the traditional territory of Haisla Nation in Kitimat, British Columbia, Canada. Fluor recognized the undisclosed contract value in the second quarter of 2025.

Lower tolls and fares on P.E.I.'s Confederation Bridge and ferries starting today
Prince Edward Island's Confederation Bridge is seen on May 31, 2022. (CTV Atlantic) CHARLOTTETOWN — It now costs less for drivers to cross the 12.9-kilometre Confederation Bridge linking Prince Edward Island to Canada's mainland. Prime Minister Mark Carney announced this week the toll for an average vehicle will drop from $50.25 to $20 to cross the bridge. About one million vehicles a year drive over the crossing, which opened in 1997, connecting the Island to New Brunswick. The toll is only applied for vehicles leaving P.E.I. Other federally supported ferry services in Eastern Canada are also seeing their fares reduced by 50 per cent for passengers, vehicles and commercial traffic. The federal government estimates the toll and fare reductions will cost about $100 million, but Carney predicted the changes would generate increased traffic and lower the cost of living. The federal Liberals promised to lower the fares during the April election campaign. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 1, 2025.

He owns a chunk of downtown St. John's. He's now in receivership
New David Levine and two of his companies owe $1.8M, according to Deloitte Restructuring An Ontario man who for years has owned a large chunk of downtown St. John's commercial real estate is now in receivership due to the hundreds of thousands of dollars he owes to the Royal Bank of Canada. In a letter dated Feb. 24, the bank said David Levine owed the bank a total of $1,763,315.13, across three entities: Levine and his two companies, Sir Humphrey Limited and First Metro Commercial Realty Corporations. Those entities are collectively called the Levine Group. The bank also put the Levine Group into receivership. The five properties are 168 Water St., 146-152 Water St., 202 Water St., 302-304 Water St. and 177-183 Duckworth St. The Levine Group owes a total of $1,850,637.17 to secured and unsecured creditors, with the vast majority owed to RBC. CBC News requested comment from Levine — who lives in Thornhill, Ont., according to documents — but he did not respond to interview requests. According to the February letter filed by RBC, the Levine Group had collateral mortgages, a mortgage, general assignments of rents, and security agreements pertaining to these downtown St. John's properties. As the secured creditor, RBC tapped Deloitte Restructuring Inc. as the receiver and manager, which gives Deloitte the ability to sell and dispose of the Levine Group's secured assets. "For greater certainty, all monies received by Deloitte after providing all costs, charges, and expenses of or incidental to the exercise of its power, including legal fees, shall be applied in and towards the satisfaction of any and all obligations, debts and liabilities," the letter reads. CBC News asked RBC about its plans for the properties. Over email, spokesperson Lori Smith directed all inquiries to Deloitte. Deloitte did not respond to CBC News's request for an interview. Unpaid city taxes According to a document filed by Deloitte, as of February the Levine Group collectively owes the City of St. John's a total of $82,527.79 in unpaid taxes. CBC News asked the city if the amount Deloitte cited is accurate, how far the taxes owed date back and if any action had been taken to recoup the unpaid taxes. Spokesperson Jackie O'Brien said the city doesn't comment on specific individual tax account files, pointing to the privacy law. "Generally speaking the city would work with a business or resident to recover monies owed," she wrote in an email. Deloitte also claims the Levine Group owes Newfoundland Power $4,785.25, as well as small amounts to the CRA, the provincial Finance Department and private mortgage company Graysbrook Capital.
