Chatham-Kent councillor says she was ‘predominantly successful' in legal challenge over pay suspension
In a post shared online Tuesday, Jubenville said the Ontario Superior Court has ruled to quash both the original Integrity Commissioner's report and the sanction council imposed on her last year.
'To say I'm happy is an understatement,' she wrote. 'I want to thank everyone for support and for prayers throughout all of this, since the summer of 2023.'
Jubenville shared an excerpt of the ruling, which states the findings related to a breach of the Code's section 10 were 'unreasonable' and confirms she's been awarded $20,000 in costs.
The decision also orders the Integrity Commissioner to reconsider the recommended penalty.
The Ward 4 councillor brought the matter to court following a 90-day suspension of her pay in 2023.
That penalty came after the Integrity Commissioner concluded she had used her position to intimidate critics through social media posts about Pride flags, drag story time and local schools.
CTV News has reached out to Coun. Jubenville and the Municipality of Chatham-Kent for comment.
This is a developing story. More details to come.

Quebec's aluminum processors press Ottawa for support as trade talks continue
The head of aluminum products and processing group AluQuébec is urging Ottawa to provide immediate financial assistance to the industry after Canada failed to reach a trade deal by U.S. President Donald Trump's Friday deadline. The two countries appear far from reaching a pact. On Thursday night, Mr. Trump followed through with his threat of hiking the tariff on Canadian goods that are not covered by the United States-Mexico-Canada free-trade agreement to 35 per cent from 25 per cent if a deal was not reached by Aug. 1. U.S. levies on the aluminum sector, which were imposed in March, and doubled to 50 per cent in June, remain in place. Mr. Carney had cautioned earlier this week that the timeline to reach an agreement could be pushed out, and that negotiations would continue until Canada got the best deal for Canadians. With never-ending tariff drama, the Canadian economy limps along Charlotte Laramée, president of AluQuébec, which represents small- and medium-sized aluminum products companies, said Friday she understands why Canada has not yet reached an agreement with the U.S. 'We know that the Government of Canada wants to have the best deal possible, even if it will take longer,' said Ms. Laramée in an interview. 'But the longer it is, the more difficult it is for the companies.' There are more than 1,700 small- and medium-sized enterprises in Quebec that process aluminum, employing just under 30,000 people. While primary aluminum producers have been able to redirect a significant portion of their production to Europe, SMEs aren't in a position to do that, said Ms. Laramée. That's because they are paying a higher price for the aluminum sourced in North America compared with their competition in Europe. Ms. Laramée is asking Ottawa to provide subsidies, forgivable loans and to introduce programs to help SMEs become more productive. The federal government has made loans available to large aluminum companies affected by the trade war through its Large Enterprise Tariff Loan facility. To qualify, companies must have at least $300-million in annual revenue, a threshold that excludes small- and medium-sized companies. Industry Minister Mélanie Joly's office did not respond to a request for comment. John Rapley: Beneath the bluster, the U.S. is losing the trade war As Canada's SMEs outline the difficulties they're facing as a result of the aluminum tariffs, Canada's biggest primary producer, Rio Tinto PLC, is playing down the impact. In a statement earlier this week, London-based Rio said that while it had incurred US$321-million in costs on its aluminum exports to the U.S., the higher price of the commodity was a major offset. In a conference call with analysts on Wednesday, chief executive officer Jakob Stausholm also said it wasn't his place to kick up a stink over the levies. 'Do we like 50-per-cent tariffs on aluminum? Not really. But it's not for us to make much statements around that,' he said. Rio Tinto declined requests for an interview. While U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent indicated earlier this week that the U.S. is willing to work with Canada on the aluminum tariffs, Mr. Trump has appeared to be less flexible. 'Bessent is showing the carrot and Trump is showing the stick,' George Heppel, VP, commodities research with BMO Capital Markets, said in an interview. A sensible solution would be for the U.S. to reduce the aluminum tariff on Canada to 20 per cent, said Mr. Heppel. That would still incent new investment in U.S. smelting capacity, but wouldn't be high enough to overly punish the U.S. manufacturing sector. The U.S. leans heavily on Canada to satisfy its aluminum demand for industries, including aerospace, defence, construction and automotive. Canadian smelters last year sent approximately 2.9 million tonnes of primary aluminum to U.S. customers, accounting for 70 per cent of American imports. Mr. Heppel doesn't see a truce between Canada and the U.S. occurring without major commitments made by Ottawa. 'For the Trump administration to publicly roll back aluminum tariffs in a big way, there would have to be the right story behind it, and it would have to involve some sort of concession from the Canadian side,' he said. One of Mr. Trump's biggest asks has been for foreign companies to increase their smelting capacity in the U.S. Since the aluminum tariffs were first implemented in March, Dubai-based Emirates Global Aluminium has been one of the few to commit to building a new smelter in the U.S. Mr. Heppel said that aluminum companies would face steep competition for hydro contacts with extremely deep pocketed technology companies such as Microsoft that are building AI data centres, a factor that significantly dampens the investment case. The Washington-based Aluminum Association reported this week that aluminum demand in the United States and Canada, representing shipments by domestic producers plus imports, fell by 4.4 per cent in the first quarter from a year earlier as the trade war rages on. 'We encourage the U.S. and Canada to continue a dialogue and come to a trade agreement that includes tariff alignment throughout North America to ensure both fair trade in the region and the steady flow of aluminum for U.S. producers,' Aluminum Association chief executive officer Charles Johnson said in a statement.

As Trump hikes tariffs, B.C. jobs minister urges Carney to ‘negotiate hard'
British Columbia's minister of jobs and economic growth is urging the federal government to stand firm and 'negotiate hard' when trying to find a solution to 35 per cent tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump's Ravi Kahlon's advice to Prime Minister Mark Carney and his negotiating team is to keep up what they're doing, and 'find a path forward the best they can.' A statement from Premier David Eby's office says he remains focused on protecting workers and businesses in B.C. from the 'deeply harmful tariffs' imposed by Trump's administration. It says Eby supports the federal government's efforts to get a 'good deal' for Canada, adding that he looks forward to speaking to the prime minister about the situation. 1:09 Scott Moe says Canada should lower or remove counter-tariffs on the U.S. The United States imposed a 35 per cent tariff on all Canadian goods outside the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement on free trade after an agreement couldn't be reached by the Aug. 1 deadline. Story continues below advertisement Several other jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom and the European Union, have reached deals before the deadline.

Sign up for breaking National newsletter Sign Up By providing your email address, you have read and agree to Global News' Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy Kahlon said Trump is 'constantly finding ways to raise the temperature' so 'they can squeeze out the most' from any agreement. He said he believes Carney and Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc are taking the right approach, 'which is keeping their head down, continue to be at the table, continue to find solutions, and not getting distracted by the day-to-day swings of the president of the United States.' He said he would also highlight the importance of the softwood lumber industry for B.C., which is just as crucial as the auto industry is to Ontario. 'The forest sector here in British Columbia should get the same support,' Kahlon said. Both Eby and Kahlon have repeatedly argued that the long-running softwood lumber dispute with the United States should be part of a larger deal. 5:53 CCPA on new Trump tariffs against Canada Brian Menzies, executive director of the Independent Wood Processors Association of British Columbia, said he is 'not very optimistic' that a future deal would also resolve the softwood dispute as the industry already faces combined tariffs and duties of almost 35 per cent. Story continues below advertisement 'We have been at this for eight years now, and there doesn't seem to be enough of a push on the American side to resolve this,' he said. Menzies also favours ongoing negotiations with the United States to resolve the tariff dispute. 'I would say it's better to get a good deal than a bad deal,' he said. 'I'd say right now, 'Do your best to stand up for what's important for Canada,'' he said. Menzies said being 'kowtowed and pushed over' is not good for Canada or the United States. 'People respect people who stand up for what's important to them, and that's the basis for any negotiation,' Menzies said. Menzies noted that any future deal with the United States might not last long, given Trump's temperament. Kahlon agreed. 'We take nothing for granted,' he said. 'It's a sad state for us in Canada to have a partner down south that doesn't honour a handshake, an agreement,' he said. 'It's hard to do business with somebody that is hard to trust when these things come.' Kahlon added that even the United Kingdom and the European Union are not sure if they actually have agreements with the United States. Story continues below advertisement 'So the uncertainty continues,' he said.

Canada Post workers vote to reject latest contract offer
A Canada Post employee prepares to check a street letter box while delivering mail, in White Rock, B.C., on Monday, July 28, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl Dyck Unionized workers at Canada Post have voted to reject its latest contract offer, the Crown corporation says. The offer included wage hikes of about 13 per cent over four years but also added part-time workers that Canada Post has said are necessary to keep the postal service afloat. This is a breaking news story. More details to come... Unionized workers at Canada Post are due to wind up voting on the Crown corporation's latest contract Friday afternoon. Voting is set to wrap up at 5 p.m., with results expected to be shared shortly after. The offer includes wage hikes of about 13 per cent over four years but also adds part-time workers that Canada Post has said are necessary to keep the postal service afloat. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers has urged the roughly 55,000 postal service workers it represents to reject the proposal. If workers reject the offer, the union has said it will immediately contact management and invite them to return to the bargaining table. It warns further strike or lockout actions could risk the government intervening with back-to-work legislation or a binding arbitration order. The union believes a strong no vote would not only reject the offer but also protect the integrity of the bargaining process. 'If this vote passes, we give Canada Post the green light to steamroll workers now and in the future,' union national president Jan Simpson wrote in a letter to members in mid-July. Canada Post has said the offer reflects the company's 'current realities while protecting items that are important to employees' and accounting for 'needed changes to help begin to rebuild the company's parcel business.' 'We know the ongoing labour uncertainty has had a significant impact on our customers and that they've had to adapt their business operations. This is not the position we wanted to put them in,' the company said in a July statement. 'Our intent has always been to reach negotiated agreements that will enable us to move forward and better serve Canadians and Canadian businesses.' The Crown corporation has previously said its operating losses amounted to $10 million a day in June. The vote, which opened July 21, is being administered by the Canada Industrial Relations Board, which stepped in after federal Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu intervened in the labour dispute. Canada Post and the union have been at odds with one another for more than a year and a half. Last holiday season, postal workers went on strike, leaving mail and parcels undelivered and many post offices closed. They returned to work the week before Christmas, when the labour minister established a process with the Canada Industrial Relations Board to assess the likelihood of Canada Post and the union reaching an agreement by the end of 2024. The board, led by Commissioner William Kaplan, eventually found that Canada Post was essentially bankrupt. The board's final report tabled in May showed Kaplan recommended an end to daily door-to-door mail delivery and an expansion of community mailboxes, among other measures to keep the postal service in business. He also endorsed Canada Post's model for adding part-time mail workers — one sticking point in negotiations — and largely blamed the stalled negotiations on CUPW defending 'business as usual.' This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 1, 2025.
