Havana Rallies as Cuba Condemns U.S. Capture of Maduro

Thousands of people gathered in Havana as Cuban President Miguel Díaz‑Canel forcefully condemned the United States for its military operation that resulted in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.

Ontario Investigates Alberta Recruiter for Supplying Low-Wage Foreign Workers to Canadian Tire

 

Ontario's Ministry of Labour is currently investigating an Alberta-based recruiter, Allison Jones, for allegedly supplying low-wage foreign workers to Canadian Tire stores across Canada. The investigation was initiated after several workers reported wage reductions and poor working conditions, potentially violating the rules of the federal Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP).

Jones, who owns a recruiting and immigration consulting agency in St. Albert, Alberta, is known for helping franchisees of Canadian Tire and Tim Hortons fill low-wage positions with labor from abroad. The allegations suggest that some workers were misled about their employment terms and had their wages arbitrarily cut.

The investigation highlights the broader issues surrounding the TFWP and the need for stronger regulatory oversight to protect temporary foreign workers from exploitation. As the probe continues, both Ontario and federal authorities are working to ensure that the rights of foreign workers are upheld.
