CUPE: Former Air Canada Counsel to Decide Whether to End CUPE-Air Canada Dispute in Clear Conflict-of-interest
In an almost unthinkable display of conflict-of-interest, a former Air Canada legal counsel, Maryse Tremblay, will rule on whether to end job action by striking Air Canada flight attendants at the Canada Industrial Relations Board.
CUPE requested Tremblay recuse herself from chairing the proceedings. Despite CUPE's request, Tremblay will hear the case.
Tremblay, who spent her career advocating for the interests of Air Canada, was appointed to chair the CIRB by the Carney government.
It is increasingly difficult to escape the appearance of collusion between Air Canada and the Liberal government throughout this process.

Thoma Bravo Is Said to Be in Talks to Buy Software Firm Dayforce
(Bloomberg) -- Thoma Bravo is in talks to acquire human resources management software provider Dayforce Inc., according to people familiar with the matter. The buyout firm is planning to take the Minneapolis-based company private in a deal that could be announced as soon as the coming weeks, the people said, asking not to be identified as the matter is private. The US-Canadian Road Safety Gap Is Getting Wider A Photographer's Pipe Dream: Capturing New York's Vast Water System Festivals and Parades Are Canceled Amid US Immigration Anxiety A London Apartment Tower With Echoes of Victorian Rail and Ancient Rome Princeton Plans New Budget Cuts as Pressure From Trump Builds Shares of Dayforce rose as much as 22% in pre-market New York trading on Monday. The company, whose shares also trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange, had a market value of about $8.4 billion at the close on Friday. While discussions are advanced, they could still be delayed or falter and it's possible another bidder may emerge, the people said. Representatives for Thoma Bravo and Dayforce didn't immediately respond to requests for comment. Dayforce shares have fallen about 60% from their 2021 peak through Friday. While the company increased revenue more than 70% between 2021 and 2024 and became more profitable, the enterprise software market has had difficulties maintaining momentum after a runup during Covid-19 lockdowns. Companies spent money at the time to upgrade their systems, only to pull back after offices reopened in a shaky economy. 'We would not be surprised if DAY chose to sell given the lack of appreciation for the stock in the public markets,' Jefferies Financial Group Inc. analysts including Samad Samana wrote in a note to clients after the Bloomberg report. 'It has been tough sledding for DAY the last few years post-Covid highs, not unlike the rest of the HR/payroll coverage universe. However, it has also underperformed the entire group.' Thoma Bravo, led by co-founder Orlando Bravo, has remained an active buyer this year in what has remained a challenging environment for private equity firms seeking to deploy capital. It agreed to purchase Boeing Co.'s flight navigation unit and other digital assets for $10.6 billion in April, and in July it struck a $2 billion deal to buy restaurant software maker Olo Inc. The firm has been in talks about a potential takeover of Verint Systems Inc., Bloomberg News reported last month. Dayforce, which rebranded from Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. last year, provides AI-powered software for managing recruitment, payrolls and employee career development. Its customers include companies in the health-care, retail and hospitality and financial services sectors. With about $1.2 billion in debt, the company has an enterprise value of more than $9 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. --With assistance from Amy Thomson.

Politicians want you to pay for ‘cashless bail.' It's dangerous and expensive
Print Close By Michelle Esquenazi Published August 18, 2025 "Cashless bail" is one of the most misleading phrases in modern politics. Reform advocates coined it, the media amplified it, and it stuck. The reality? What we provide is secured bail — a constitutionally protected, privately funded system that ensures defendants appear in court and protects the public, all without costing taxpayers a dime. Ironically, the term "cashless" could make us sound like the good guys. We accept all forms of payment. We take the financial risk. We are legally liable for producing defendants in court. We operate 24/7 — making payroll, paying taxes, freeing the accused in an accountable way, and, when necessary, tracking fugitives so victims are protected and prosecutions move forward. Courts and judges who still have secured bail know it works, because we have skin in the game. The New Jersey Example In 2016, New Jersey passed the Bail Reform Act, removing the accused's right to bail and replacing private secured bail with a taxpayer-funded pretrial release bureaucracy. Here's what happened: CINCINNATI ASSAULT: POLICE CHIEFS RIP LEADERS OVER BAIL LAWS, 'GAPS IN THE JUDICIAL PROCESS' No right to bail – defendants can now be held without release until trial. Taxpayer burden – counties spend millions annually to operate pretrial programs once handled at no cost by the private sector. Accountability removed – bondsmen, motivated to ensure court appearances, have been pushed out. The results were predictable. Ed Forchion, a Marine veteran and self-described "peaceful political pothead," was held for 447 days on a witness tampering charge tied to a Facebook post — not a violent crime — without the possibility of bail. I offered the prosecutor a $2 million secured bond to secure his release. They couldn't take it. Why? Because New Jersey no longer recognizes the right to bail. TRUMP DEMANDS END TO CASHLESS BAIL, SAYS 'COMPLETE DISASTER' DRIVING CRIME IN CITIES, ENDANGERING POLICE The costs are staggering. In 2016, the New Jersey Association of Counties sued the state because there was no funding in county budgets for this massive new mandate. Today, residents continue to pay millions each year for a system that is less accountable and less effective than what it replaced. Where It's Headed Tennessee is now on track to follow New Jersey's path and other states are considering similar changes. Once the suggested right to bail is stripped away, it's nearly impossible to restore. The shift is always the same: from private accountability to public expense, from a proven, self-funded system to a costly government program. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION The "Cashless" Myth Every politician who has signed onto "bail reform" gets paid whether they work or not. They don't understand what we do because they're chasing a funded narrative. If tomorrow's narrative was "funeral home reform," they'd be after multi-generation, family-owned funeral homes with the same zeal. MURDER VICTIM'S MOTHER SOUNDS OFF ON GOV. PRITZKER'S NO-CASH BAIL: 'THIS IS WHAT HE WANTED' The truth is simple: "cashless bail" isn't about making the system fairer. It's about replacing private industry with government bureaucracy — funded by you, the taxpayer. A Better Way Forward President Donald Trump demonstrated leadership on post-conviction reform. Now is the time to address pretrial justice reform. The Eighth Amendment suggests that the accused have the right to bail, and it's time to defend it nationally. The costs are staggering. In 2016, the New Jersey Association of Counties sued the state because there was no funding in county budgets for this massive new mandate. A balanced approach is possible — one that maintains judicial discretion, protects public safety, and ensures defendants appear in court without shifting the financial burden to taxpayers. Secured bail achieves all of this. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Congress should act now to protect the bail before more states follow New Jersey's failed example. Without action, the cost to taxpayers will climb, accountability will drop, and victims will be left waiting for justice. We in the private bail industry are ready to work with leaders who understand the vital role of private enterprise in the criminal justice system. We are, as I like to say, the "Coal Miners of Criminal Justice" — doing the hard, unglamorous work that keeps the system running, even when the lights are off. Print Close URL

What Did Donald Trump Say About MSNBC Host Getting Fired?
Curious why Donald Trump is suddenly targeting MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace? A string of posts on Truth Social reignited attention on his long-running clashes with the media, with Wallace becoming the latest focus. The remarks followed a viral image and sparked a rapid online discussion. Here's what Trump said, how Wallace was drawn into the exchange, and where the broader media dispute stands now. Donald Trump says MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace will get fired Donald Trump targeted MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace in a Truth Social post on Sunday, declaring, 'She is a loser, with bad ratings, who was already thrown off of The View. She will be fired soon! MSNBC IS DEAD!' The president shared a string of attacks against the media after returning from a five-day trip to Scotland and meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska. The exchange began when Trump posted the word 'Bela' without explanation. In response, a user shared a doctored image of Wallace with captions including 'Typhoid Mary Nicole Wallace,' 'Clown News,' and 'Nicole Wallace is afraid of losing her job. Get her a Waaambulance.' Trump replied directly to the image, amplifying the criticism of Wallace. Wallace, who currently hosts Deadline: White House on MSNBC, previously served as White House communications director under President George W. Bush and was once a co-host on The View. Trump referred to her past departure from the talk show in his Truth Social remarks. In another post on the platform, Trump criticized the press coverage of his recent meeting in Alaska with Putin. 'It's incredible how the Fake News violently distorts the TRUTH when it comes to me,' he wrote. 'There is NOTHING I can say or do that would lead them to write or report honestly about me.' The president also commented on negotiations involving Ukraine, stating that peace talks would require territorial concessions. 'If I got Russia to give up Moscow as part of the Deal, the Fake News, and their PARTNER, the Radical Left Democrats, would say I made a terrible mistake and a very bad deal,' he posted. His Truth Social post targeting Wallace received over 17,000 likes and nearly 4,000 shares by early Monday.
