Doug Drysdale passed away on June 11, at the age of 76 The Drysdale Tree Farms community is mourning the loss of Doug Drysdale who passed away peacefully on June 11. Drysdale was a loving husband, father, friend, and an accomplished forester, farmer, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. Born and raised in Toronto, Doug married his high school sweetheart Joan in 1953 and raised his family in the Don Mills area before moving to live at their family home, on Drysdale Tree farm located just outside of Barrie in 1980. According to the obituary, Doug's passion for trees was taught from his dad, who planted on the family home when Doug was a small boy.

Union slams package company DHL's ask for federal strike intervention
OTTAWA — OTTAWA — Unifor sent a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney and cabinet ministers this week decrying a request from package company DHL to intervene in a strike. That request was made by DHL in a letter last week that was shared on the union's website. The letter said the change that takes effect on June 20 to federal labour law banning replacement workers during strikes threatens to 'severely undermine' DHL's operational capabilities. It said the cessation of its operations would lead to the loss of around 2,800 jobs and asks that the government intervene to allow DHL Express to continue operating while it negotiates with the union. The letter said the company saw 'similar interventions' during the ongoing strike at Canada Post and that it thinks such action is warranted in its case given that it provides 'essential logistics services to Canadians.' Unifor national president Lana Payne argued in the letter to Carney that DHL locked out its workers and forced members to respond with strike action. She said the company is asking for a 'free pass' to avoid having to comply with anti-scab legislation which sets a 'dangerous precedent.' She said the use of 'scabs' leads to longer disputes, contributes to higher conflict at picket lines, jeopardizes workplace safety and 'removes the employer incentive to negotiate and settle fair contracts.' With the two sides at an impasse, DHL Express Canada has said it will shut down operations across the country. DHL said it will halt parcel deliveries starting June 20, the day federal legislation banning replacement workers takes full effect. The upcoming shutdown adds to the labour turmoil in the parcel market, as Canada Post remains at loggerheads with 55,000 workers amid strained negotiations and an overtime ban imposed by the union last month. Unifor represents over 2,000 DHL truck drivers, couriers and warehouse and call centre employees across Canada. -- With files from Christopher Reynolds This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 18, 2025.

Smith, Moe renew calls for Ottawa to allow more resource development
Article content Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe renewed their calls on Wednesday for the federal government to better encourage the development of provincial resources. Speaking from the Saskatchewan side of Lloydminster, Smith again reiterated her prior nine demands she put to Prime Minister Mark Carney, including overhauling the Impact Assessment Act, eliminating the oil and gas emissions cap, lifting the tanker ban off the northern coast of B.C., and scrapping the clean electricity regulations, among others. Article content 'The national self-sabotage that has happened over the last 10 years has to end,' Smith said at a news conference. The two premiers issued a joint statement during that media event, saying their governments came together 'to make a unified call for national change.' 'Alberta and Saskatchewan agree that the federal government must change its policies if it is to reach its stated goal of becoming a global energy superpower and having the strongest economy in the G7,' it reads. Carney has pledged to strengthen Canada's economy and is seeking to pass legislation this week to lay the groundwork for expedited approval of major projects. Bill C-5 proposes granting the federal government sweeping powers over a five-year period to expedite approvals of infrastructure megaprojects deemed to be in the national interest by cabinet. 'The very fact that Bill C-5 has been introduced … I think, is an admission that this hard work does have to happen,' Moe said. Article content Smith said the bill was a necessary, but not sufficient, condition to reach Carney's goal. 'If (Carney) very soon is able to announce a project list that has 20 or more substantial projects on it that include mining projects, and transmission projects, and power projects, and pipeline projects, I think that would send a pretty big message to the world about the direction that we're going,' she said. The premiers met with Carney in Saskatchewan earlier this month to pitch him on megaprojects they would like to see developed. Carney's government has not yet announced which projects, or how many, it intends to pursue. Smith has sought a bitumen pipeline to the Port of Prince Rupert in northern B.C. with the goal of increasing exports to Asia, though B.C.'s government has been cool the idea, noting a private-sector proponent for such a project has yet to materialize.
