Former Unifor president Jerry Dias tried to impede a probe into his conduct and pressured a whistleblower to drop their complaint about an alleged kickback scandal — flouting the union’s code of ethics in the process, according to the findings of a third-party workplace investigation obtained by the Star.
After Dias unexpectedly announced his retirement earlier this year, Unifor revealed it had initiated a workplace investigation into claims that the long-time labour leader received $50,000 from a rapid test supplier he promoted to employers.
Dias’ assistant, Chris MacDonald, had filed a complaint to the union saying Dias offered him half of that money.
The allegations have thrown Canada’s largest private sector union into disarray as Unifor faces its first-ever contested election for national president. They also raise crucial questions about accountability and governance within an institution representing 315,000 workers across the country.
Apologies are for industries only:
Prior to his martyrdom, he wrote: “Whatever conclusion they [the Aboriginal peoples] reach, and whatever treatment they give us, we will try, by the grace of Our Lord, to endure it patiently for His service. It is a singular favor that His Goodness extends to us, to make us endure something for His sake.”
Indeed, the foremost desire of the Canadian missionaries was to convert souls for God, and if necessary, to die for the people they served. They worked tirelessly to give the Aboriginal peoples a better life; not to strip them of their identity but to further their culture and lives by making them truly Christian.
The conversion of the Aboriginal peoples and the sufferings of the Jesuit missionaries who gave their lives for Canada and her peoples must not be forgotten or apologized for. Brebeuf is only one of many who died for this country, and his death must not be in vain.
The Aboriginal peoples especially should remember the service of the missionaries who came to die for their sakes. These men should be honored and remember in Canadian history.
No, but they are more smug, self-important, self-conscious, boorish, tactless and insulated than their American counterparts who don't publish fluff pieces like this in order to boost their fragile self-esteem:
But residents of other countries — like the U.K., Ireland, and Australia, for example — were quick to point out that being polite wasn’t only a Canadian character trait.
“Who doesn’t thank the bus driver?” quipped a TikTok user.
As the debate continues on social media, the woman who filmed the video, content creator Corrin Carlson, told CTV News she found the situation “incredibly endearing.”
She had been living in New York and “no one did it there,” which is why she thought to capture the moment.
A researcher at the University of British Columbia who is originally from Nigeria says students from Nigeria and other African countries should not be asked to take English proficiency tests to get into universities such as UPEI.
Olumuyiwa Igbalajobi said on Twitter that the system is unfair, since English is the official language of Nigeria, and all education is taught in English.
