The Amalgamated Transit Union of Canada has a news conference scheduled for tomorrow morning (thurs) in Ottawa, where they will demand the Federal Government address Greyhound shutting down operations in Western Canada. Greyhound Canada announced that it’s cutting its passenger and delivery services by the end of October, on the prairies, in northwestern Ontario, and rural British Columbia with the exception of one route that will continue to run between Vancouver and Seattle. The ATU wants a meeting with Transport Minister Marc Garneau to talk about solutions to a service that the union says is critical to working people. President John Di Nino says tens of thousands of riders depend on Greyhound to get to the doctor, work, school and other services.

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.
The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.
T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
