WestJet cyberattack remains unresolved one week in, but operations unaffected
WestJet says a cyberattack that began last week remains unresolved, as questions linger about the nature and fallout of the breach. The country's second-largest airline says it is working to assess whether sensitive data or customers' personal information was compromised after hackers accessed its internal systems. An online advisory says the attack, which was detected late last week, has not affected operations but that some customers may run into "intermittent interruptions or errors" on WestJet's website and app. Spokesman Josh Yeats says investigations in collaboration with law enforcement are ongoing, but the company has not specified the type of the incident, such as a malware or ransomware attack. The breach at the Alberta-based airline arrived just ahead of foreign leaders, who gathered last weekend for the G7 summit in Kananaskis, Alta., though no direct link to the event has been identified. Airlines and airports have become increasingly popular prey for hackers, as their troves of personal and financial data and global reach make for tempting targets.

DHL Express locks out workers across Canada, adding to parcel sector turmoil
MONTREAL — Unifor says DHL Express Canada locked out workers just after midnight today as the two sides failed to reach a contract deal, injecting more labour turmoil into the country's parcel delivery market. The union, which represents 2,100 truck drivers, couriers and warehouse workers across seven provinces, says they went on strike in response at 11 a.m. ET. Advertisement Unifor says the German-owned carrier is proposing to change the driver pay system and planning to use replacement workers before legislation banning them comes into effect on June 20. The work stoppage, which affects package delivery across the country, comes as Canada Post remains at loggerheads with 55,000 workers, whose union last month imposed an overtime ban that scales back parcel services. Unifor says a work stoppage could disrupt next weekend's Formula One Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal, where DHL is responsible for transporting the turbocharged race cars. Unifor says its bargaining priorities remain wages, working conditions and surveillance and automation in the workplace. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 8, 2025.

Judge refuses bail for motorcyclist accused of knocking down drugs unit garda, causing him injury
A father of two accused of injuring a drugs unit garda by knocking him down with a 'high-powered' motorcycle in Dublin has been denied bail. Christopher Reynolds (24) was arrested after the officer suffered a leg injury in Finglas at about 5.45pm on Wednesday. Mr Reynolds appeared at Blanchardstown District Court on Thursday charged with assault causing harm, using a stolen vehicle, cocaine possession and having a screwdriver for use in a theft. Garda Declan Meehan told Judge Áine Clancy the accused man made no reply when charged. READ MORE Objecting to bail, Garda Meehan told the court Mr Reynolds was 'caught red-handed'. The officer said he and colleagues from the Finglas drugs unit were on patrol at the North Road, Dublin 11. They saw two motorbikes enter the forecourt of the Circle K service station. The court heard gardaí believed the motorbikes had been stolen. As they approached the motorbikes on foot, the two male drivers saw them and tried to drive out. Both motorbikes drove dangerously at Garda members in a bid to evade apprehension, the court heard. One of the motorbikes with two suspects on board escaped. A lone male driver on a high-powered motorbike 'drove directly' at a garda, colliding with him on the forecourt and causing him to fall to the ground, the court heard. He suffered a dislocated ankle, requiring medical treatment. The driver 'absconded' on foot and ran against oncoming traffic on the dual carriageway, the judge was told. Garda Meehan said he pursued on foot. Judge Clancy heard how Mr Reynolds was arrested at a Lidl supermarket. Garda Meehan said a further endangerment charge could be brought against Mr Reynolds, who did not address the court. Mark McMahon, defending, said his client could wait for more than two years for his trial. His said his client enjoyed the presumption of innocence and would obey any bail conditions, including a ban on driving any motor vehicle. Mr Reynolds, of Heatly Place, Malahide Road, Dublin 17, was on social welfare and was taking part in a CE scheme, the court heard. He has two young children. Judge Clancy said the accused was charged with very serious offences. Refusing bail was necessary to prevent the commission of further serious offences, she said. Mr Reynolds was granted legal aid and was remanded in custody to appear at Cloverhill District Court on June 4th.

Importers warn new duty payment system could cause headaches, delays
MONTREAL — Importers are warning that the launch of a new online payment regime this week will cause financial headaches and logistical snarls for shippers bringing goods into Canada. Fresh rules come into force Tuesday that require businesses importing products into the country to post a financial security deposit — a tally based on the largest of its monthly loads over the past year. The Canada Border Services Agency told customs brokerages last week that only 30 per cent of the country's more than 197,000 active importers had signed up for a key part of the revamped system. That component, dubbed 'release prior to payment,' requires a cash deposit or a guarantee known as a surety bond for the goods to be released at the border without taxes and duties being paid immediately on entry. The stricter regime aims to make sure the federal government can collect even if the shipper fails to come up with the cash, such as in bankruptcy cases. But Winnipeg-based customs broker Alan Dewar says the new online portal known as CARM has complicated the import process and imposed an unneeded financial burden on the supply chain that could trickle down to consumers in the heat of a trade war. The Canada Border Services Agency says the portal will smooth out cross-border transport by offering tens of thousands of shippers direct access to their information and a user-friendly platform for submitting documents while shoring up enforcement.
