Government wants to automatically file taxes for low-income Canadians
In the recent federal budget, the government announced the creation and expansion of a couple of pilot programs aimed at getting millions of low-income Canadians to file their taxes, and giving them access to benefit programs they are ennoscriptd to.
The government says as many as 12 per cent of Canadians don't file their taxes every year, most of whom are low-income Canadians. It's estimated that non-filers missed out on more than $1.7 billion worth of government rebates and programs they were ennoscriptd to in the 2015 tax year alone.
A program called File My Return allows Canadians to file their tax returns by answering a series of simple questions over the telephone. The goal is to triple the uptake on that program to 2 million people annually.

Police have stopped listing gender and last names of missing persons in Mississauga, Brampton
Peel Regional Police will no longer release the last name or gender of a missing person in most cases, changing a longtime practice.
“Where there is a picture, we will no longer provide last names unless there is an investigative value to do so,” the spokesperson stated.
Police are concerned that releasing the last name will make the missing person vulnerable to future online searches.
As for gender, police say they will no longer reveal if the person is male or female over fears they may misidentify the sexual orientation of those who cannot be found.

🇺🇸U.S. asks Canada to reimpose visa requirements for Mexico to stem surge of crossings at northern border
U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas says the Biden administration has asked Canada to consider putting back in place the visa requirements for Mexican nationals.
At this moment Mexicans don't need a visa to travel to Canada, while the U.S. requires a visa for Mexicans to enter. American border officials say some Mexican nationals are using Canada's visa-free rule to fly into the country and then cross south illegally into America.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection data show a spike in migrants entering the U.S. from Canada after Trudeau lifted the visa requirement in December 2016: there were 1,169 apprehensions of Mexicans the year before the requirements were lifted but the number nearly doubled to 2,245 in 2018, a year after the requirements were lifted.

🇺🇦 Defence firm paid Ukrainian broker to secure $92M, sole-sourced contract with Ottawa, lawsuit says
▪️Roshel, a Canadian defence company, is accused of breaking anti-corruption laws to secure a sole-sourced, $92-million contract with the federal government for armoured vehicles destined for Ukraine, according to a former executive’s lawsuit.
▪️The Canadian Commercial Corporation, overseeing the deal, says it had asked Roshel Inc. to cease production for nearly one month while it investigated the allegations of corruption and bribery.
▪️The CCC’s audit is related to allegations that Roshel paid cash to a former Ukrainian official to “influence decisions made by the Ukrainian government and/or military” that culminated in Canada’s purchase of 200 of the company’s vehicles in January to be sent to Ukraine, according to a lawsuit filed on Feb. 28 by Anton Sestritsyn.
▪️Sestritsyn, who was the company’s vice-president of business development from June 2022 until his resignation in February, is suing Roshel and its president, Roman Shimonov, for $1.5 million for wrongful or constructive dismissal.

Some 35,000 CRA workers continue strike as tentative deal reached with Treasury Board
🔹PSAC tweeted Monday evening that the two sides had met throughout the day and late into the night, without an agreement. Earlier in the day, the CRA said in a statement that the agency and the union had resumed in-person negotiations, with "a view to reach a new collective agreement as soon as possible, that is both fair to employees and reasonable for taxpayers."
🔹The country's largest federal public-sector union announced early Monday morning it had reached deals with the government covering more than 120,000 public servants across the country and bringing them back to work after a 12-day strike. The tentative agreements came after the Treasury Board, which oversees the administration of the federal government, tabled what it described as a "final offer" on Friday.
🔹They include 11.5 per cent wage increases over four years, with an additional 0.5 per cent group-specific allowance in the third year of the contracts. The union says the compounded wage increases add up to 12.6 per cent over four years.

As a tentative contract agreement has been reached between the PSAC and the Treasury Board, covering more than 120,000 federal government workers across the country, the Treasury Board president Mona Fortier said the cost to taxpayers is estimated to be about $1.3 billion per year, "less than half of the cost of PSAC's original demands."
She said the negotiations weren't easy, but resulted in an agreement that was fair to both sides and "reasonable for taxpayers."
"It also provides an additional year of stability and certainty," Fortier said, referring to the decision to bring the tentative agreement up to 2024 instead of 2023.

🇨🇳 Alleged Chinese police stations still open in Quebec, despite minister’s claims
Two Montreal-area community groups under investigation for allegedly hosting secret Chinese government police stations say they continue to operate normally, contradicting claims by the public safety minister that all the clandestine stations in Canada have been shut.
The two groups - Service à la Famille Chinoise du Grand Montréal, based in the city's Chinatown district, and Centre Sino-Québec de la Rive-Sud, in the Montreal suburb of Brossard, Que. - say the RCMP has taken no action against them.
Meanwhile, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino told a parliamentary committee last Thursday, "the RCMP have taken decisive action to shut down the so-called police stations."
In mid-March the RCMP announced they were investigating the two Montreal-area groups — along with alleged Chinese police stations in Vancouver and Toronto. At the time, RCMP Sgt. Charles Poirier said the Chinese government used the stations to put pressure on members of the Chinese community in Canada, sometimes by threatening friends or relatives living in China.

🇺🇸 Ontario and Nova Scotia remove licensing barriers for U.S. doctors
In an attempt to cope with an acute shortage of doctors, Nova Scotia and Ontario are now allowing board certified US physicians to start practicing medicine immediately with full licensure. They'll no longer have to start with a limited license and take additional exams or be supervised for up to a year to become fully licensed.
Physicians shortage in Canada is expected to intensify over the next decade and is estimated to be about 44,000 physicians by 2028, with family doctors accounting for 72% of the deficit.

Montreal to make 10 commercial arteries pedestrian-only streets this summer
More than 8.3 kilometres of city streets will be closed to traffic during the summer months — and in some cases, into the early fall weeks.
The closings are part of a three-year, $12 million municipal program that aims to lure pedestrian shoppers to commercial areas. Tourism Montreal expects Quebec’s biggest city to attract about 9.5 million visitors this year, up from about 8 million in 2022.

People who have seen the design say it replaces all Christian and religious symbols (crosses and fleur-de-lis) with maple leafs, snowflakes and stars.

CRTC considering banning Fox News from Canadian cable packages
The CRTC has opened a public consultation on a complaint from an LGBTQ rights group asking the broadcast regulator to ban Fox News from cable packages in Canada.
Egale Canada first said in April it would file an application asking the CRTC to ban Fox News over “false and horrifying claims” made by host Tucker Carlson regarding transgender individuals.
The group published an open letter following a March appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight. The group said the Fox News “coverage aimed to provoke hatred and violence against 2SLGBTQI communities, particularly those who are Two Spirit, trans, nonbinary and gender non-conforming (2STNBGN).”
The letter also accused the segment of stoking resentment against 2STNBGN individuals through misinformation “including that trans people are given preferential treatment in employment and other opportunities.”
Carlson has been fired from Fox since Egale went public with its request in early April.
