Quelque 55 000 membres du Syndicat canadien des travailleurs et travailleuses des postes ont commencé à voter le 20 avril sur une convention collective de cinq ans prévoyant des augmentations salariales de 6,5 % et de 3 % au cours des deux premières années. Postes Canada et le syndicat s’affrontent depuis longtemps sur les salaires et les changements structurels au sein du service postal, les travailleurs ayant organisé des piquets de grève à plusieurs reprises tout au long du processus de négociation. Les deux parties ont convenu de ne pas recourir à la grève ou au lock-out pendant le vote de ratification, bien que les employés se prononcent également sur l’autorisation d’un mandat de grève au cas où ils rejetteraient l’accord.

Téhéran a accusé lundi les États-Unis de violer à nouveau le fragile cessez-le-feu conclu le 8 avril après des frappes américaines ce week-end suivies de représailles militaires iraniennes. La décision de suspendre les négociations a été prise selon Tasnim à cause des « crimes » qu’Israël « continue à commettre » au Liban, et des violations « sur tous les fronts » du cessez-le-feu. « L’équipe de négociations iranienne suspend donc le dialogue et les échanges de textes via les médiateurs », affirme le média iranien. Selon des sources diplomatiques à l’AFP, une réunion d’urgence sur le Liban est prévue lundi au Conseil de sécurité des Nations Unies, à la demande de la France, qui a estimé dimanche que « rien ne justifiait l’escalade majeure en cours au Liban ».  

His poll ratings are dismal and rivals are eyeing his job. Now British Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces more embarrassment on Monday with the publication of hundreds of pages of files about former U.K. ambassador to Washington Peter Mandelson, a friend of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The government complied with a demand by lawmakers to release documents related to Mandelson’s appointment to, and conduct in, the U.K.’s most important diplomatic post. Among the more than 1,000 pages of documents is a note from Mandelson to then-Foreign Secretary David Lammy before his appointment pledging the government would “never regret” giving him the job.

Drug company Apotex Health Corp. says it is looking to sell about $1 billion worth of shares in its initial public offering. The company says it expects to sell between 41.7 million and 50 million shares at a price between $20 and $24 per share. The plan includes the sale of between 35.4 million and 42.5 million shares in a treasury offering by the company valued at a total of about $850 million. It also includes a secondary offering of between 6.25 million and 7.5 million shares by certain shareholders valued at a total of about $150 million. The selling shareholders are also expected to grant an over-allotment option to the underwriters for up to an additional 6.25 million to 7.5 million shares at the offering price. Apotex, which has applied to list the shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange, has a broad portfolio of generic drugs and consumer health products.

Barry Diller’s People Inc. has offered to take over the rest of MGM Resorts in a deal that would value the casino giant at around $12.4 billion. The company, previously known as IAC, already owns 26.1% of the business, and has submitted a nonbinding proposal to buy the rest at $48.30 a share in cash. If the board accepts the offer, MGM would become a private company controlled by People Inc. Including debt, the deal values MGM at $18 billion. “We believe that MGM’s assets and businesses are not currently realizing their full potential in the public markets and that it will be difficult to correct this situation in MGM’s current form as a public company,” Diller wrote in a letter to MGM’s board Monday. People Inc.’s current stake in MGM is worth about $2.9 billion, according to FactSet.

Equinor said on Monday its nomination committee has proposed board member Jarle ​Roth as the Norwegian oil group's new chair after Jon Erik ‌Reinhardsen decided to step down. Reinhardsen, 70, has led the board for nearly a decade, overseeing a push into renewables and other low-carbon businesses, an expansion that has slowed ​in recent years amid rising costs, energy security concerns and U.S. ​headwinds. "Jon Erik Reinhardsen, who has been the chair of the ⁠board since 2017, would like to resign from the board of directors," ​Equinor said in a statement, without elaborating. Roth, 66, an independent adviser, joined Equinor's ​board in December 2025, having previously served as CEO of Norwegian companies Eksportkreditt Norge, Arendals Fossekompani, Umoe Group, Schat-Harding and Unitor.

Bloc Québécois MP Simon-Pierre Savard-Tremblay is leaving his party’s caucus to run for the Parti Québécois in the fall provincial election. Savard-Tremblay officially left the Bloc today and is listed as an Independent on the House of Commons website. A source in the Parti Québécois who was not authorized to speak publicly told The Canadian Press that Savard-Tremblay will represent them in the Oct. 5 election. The news he is joining the PQ was first reported by Radio-Canada. The source says Savard-Tremblay will resign as a member of the House of Commons at the start of the summer break. The Parti Québécois communications office refused to officially confirm the information, but noted that leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon will be in St-Hyacinthe, Que., on Friday to announce a candidate for the nomination in the riding.

The United States and Iran reached ​an agreement on Thursday to extend their ceasefire and lift restrictions on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, sources told Reuters, though U.S. President Donald Trump has yet to approve ‌it and Iranian state media said it had not been finalized. According to four sources familiar with the matter, the agreement would extend the truce for another 60 days and allow traffic to flow through the strategic waterway while negotiators tackle difficult issues such as Iran's nuclear program. If approved by leadership in Washington and Tehran, it would amount to the biggest step towards peace since the conflict began on February 28. News of the possible agreement came after a round of tit-for-tat attacks between the two ​countries, the latest such incident since the ceasefire took effect in early April. Trump has not yet approved the deal, the sources said. Iran has yet to comment on news of the proposed ​deal, which was first reported by Axios.

L’organisme fédéral attribue principalement ce ralentissement à la hausse des importations d’or et à la faiblesse du secteur de l’extraction de ressources en mars. Le PIB réel a maintenant reculé pendant deux trimestres consécutifs – ce qui correspond à la définition d’une récession technique – bien qu’un examen attentif des données dresse un tableau plus contrasté de l’économie. Le PIB réel avait déjà diminué en octobre et en mars, mais la croissance était restée stable ou positive au cours des quatre mois intermédiaires. Sur une base trimestrielle, Statistique Canada indique que la croissance est demeurée pratiquement inchangée, mais que les faibles variations des chiffres trimestriels sont amplifiées lorsqu’elles sont annualisées.

Ousted BP Chairman Albert Manifold met with activist shareholder Elliott Management during his tenure without telling fellow board members directly, two sources ​with knowledge of the matter told Reuters. BP dismissed Manifold this week after less than eight months as chairman, sending BP's shares ‌plunging and dealing a blow to the leadership's attempt to prove that it had steadied the ship. BP cited governance and conduct issues when it ousted Manifold. BP hired Manifold last year to oversee its efforts to rebuild investor confidence after years of strategy and leadership changes and high debt. He replaced Helge Lund, whose shareholder support sagged before his ​exit.

Toms Capital Investment Management, an activist U.S. hedge fund, has built a ‌significant stake in McCormick & Co, according to sources familiar with the matter, at a time the U.S. food company is working on a prominent takeover deal. Run by Benjamin Pass, Toms Capital invested in McCormick during the second ​quarter after the spice company announced its planned acquisition of Unilever's food business, said ​the sources who were not permitted to discuss the matter publicly. The size of ⁠its stake and what Toms Capital intends to push for at McCormick could not immediately ​be learned. Unlike some activist investors, Toms Capital prefers to stay in the background and push for ​changes out of the limelight, rather than launching public and noisy campaigns.

Fondée en 1972, Pluritec compte environ 200 employés. De son siège social à Trois-Rivières, elle opère des bureaux à Shawinigan, Victoriaville, Drummondville, Thetford Mines et Québec. Pour sa part, avec cette acquisition, Englobe comptera maintenant 27 bureaux et 1650 employés à travers le Québec.

The outcomes of most of the United Nations' ​recent COP climate summits have ‌fallen short of the more ambitious action scientists say is needed ​to address climate change, said ​EU climate commissioner Wopke Hoekstra ⁠on Monday. "If you look at ​what the problem actually needs ​and where the bar should then be, and what most of the COPs ​of the last five, six, ​seven, eight years have delivered, then you ‌just ⁠have to admit that that was underwhelming," Hoekstra told an event hosted by Politico in ​Brussels. He added ​that ⁠there was a need to continue work at ​COP summits, where nearly ​200 ⁠countries take decisions by consensus, but also in smaller groups of ⁠countries ​who are willing ​to move faster to tackle global warming.

Philanthropic executive Judy Schulich has left the board of the Art Gallery of Ontario after leading efforts last year to prevent it from acquiring an artwork by photographer Nan Goldin. That decision had led to outcry across the global art world and prompted numerous resignations, including from a senior curator. Ms. Schulich was first appointed to the AGO board by the Ontario government a decade ago, and was reappointed to a three-year term in 2023. That term expired Wednesday. In an e-mail Friday, Ontario’s Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Gaming said Ms. Schulich had decided not to renew her appointment. Ms. Schulich is a long-time art patron and an executive with the Schulich Foundation, which bills itself as one of Canada’s largest private foundations. It was seeded by her father, billionaire entrepreneur Seymour Schulich. She did not respond to a comment request on Friday.

Activist hedge fund Toms Capital Investment Management on Monday urged Voya Financial to ​explore strategic options, including a potential sale, arguing ‌the insurance and investment management company continues to trade at a discount to peers. Toms Capital, one of Voya's ​largest shareholders, said in a letter to ​the company's board that its “persistent underperformance” and ⁠trading discount were driven by "management’s strategic indecisiveness ​and diminished credibility." Voya Financial did not immediately respond to ​a Reuters request for comment. Shares of Voya have risen about 9% this year, giving it a market capitalization of ​roughly $7.36 billion, according to data compiled by ​LSEG. Shares of peers Principal Financial Group and Franklin Resources were ‌up ⁠17.5% and 29.9% respectively in the same period.

Dutch technology investor Prosus has been ​given more time to comply with ‌its pledge to sell down its stake in Delivery Hero, EU antitrust regulators said ​on Monday. Prosus secured EU antitrust ​approval to buy Just Eat Takeaway ⁠last year after agreeing to reduce its ​27.4% stake in Delivery Hero to ​below a specified very low percentage within 12 months. That has allowed rival Uber to more ​than double its stake in Delivery ​Hero to about 19.5% to become the largest ‌shareholder. Prosus ⁠is majority owned by South Africa's Naspers. "We can confirm that on 29 May 2026, following a request from ​Naspers, we ​extended the ⁠deadline for the implementation of the remedies. Naspers still ​has to fully comply with ​the ⁠commitments," a European Commission spokesperson said. The spokesperson said Prosus had proposed the concessions ⁠and ​that regulators had not ​imposed them on the company.

Prosus is considering raising its stake ‌in Delivery Hero and has spoken to other investors about ​the price at which ​they would be willing to ⁠sell their shares to ​the Dutch tech investor, the ​FT reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter. Delivery Hero ​declined to comment, while ​Prosus did not immediately reply to a ‌request ⁠on the matter. The move is aimed at thwarting a takeover attempt for Germany's ​Delivery Hero ​by ⁠Uber, the FT said. Prosus holds a ​16.83% holding in the ​Berlin-based ⁠food-delivery company, according to LSEG data.

Prime Minister Mark Carney called for “a new partnership” between Canada and the United States on Thursday, as Ottawa looks to get back to the negotiating table ahead of a crucial review of the continental trade agreement. In a high-profile speech at the Economic Club of New York, Mr. Carney spoke of the “mutual strength” that comes from the two countries’ integrated manufacturing supply chains and energy sectors. And he said Canada was open to more co-operation inside a “Fortress North America” on industries that are currently subject to hefty U.S. tariffs, including automobiles, steel and aluminum. “Canada strong will help make America great again,” he said. “Examples of where that’s true are legion, where we should work together and compete with the world together. And to those ends, we have made specific, practical proposals to the U.S. administration.”

Lors d’une conférence dans une colonie israélienne de Cisjordanie occupée et dont une vidéo a été transmise par une chaîne israélienne, le premier ministre a souligné que depuis l’entrée en vigueur du cessez-le-feu, « nous étions à 50 % [d’occupation du territoire]. Nous sommes passés à 60 %, ma directive est de passer à… ». Là-dessus, l’auditoire a lancé « 100 % ». Benyamin Nétanyahou a alors dit qu’il fallait y aller « dans l’ordre ». « D’abord 70 %. Commençons par ça, nous les tenons de tous les côtés. Nous nous occuperons du reste plus tard. » Le cessez-le-feu décrété le 10 octobre dernier à la grande fierté de Donald Trump apparaît plus fragile que jamais. Les attaques n’ont jamais cessé complètement depuis, Israël et le Hamas s’accusant mutuellement de violer la trêve.

A minority labour union at Samsung Electronics representing its consumer electronics workers will ask ​a South Korean court to suspend the implementation of ‌a pay deal that primarily benefits employees in the chip division, a lawyer said. Two other unions at the world's largest ​memory chip and TV maker, including its ​biggest union, voted to approve a pay deal this ⁠week that provides huge bonuses for workers in ​Samsung's memory chip division, which has seen profits soar ​amid the AI boom. The Samsung Electronics Co Union (SECU), which has about 13,000 members, mostly from the company's smartphone, TV and ​home appliances divisions, had initially filed an injunction ​to suspend the vote. The approval of the 11th-hour government-mediated agreement ‌averted ⁠a planned 18-day strike, but meant some employees outside the chip division did not fare as well.

Activist investor Voss Capital ​has urged Sempra to spin off its Oncor electricity unit, creating a high-growth Texas-focused utility unencumbered by the $60 ‌billion energy giant's predominant California business, according to sources familiar with the matter and a letter seen by Reuters on Thursday. The Houston-based hedge fund, which owns roughly 2 million shares, or less than 1%, of Sempra, argues that a newly independent Oncor Electric Delivery Company would be the highest-growth public transmission ​utility in the U.S., and could be worth as much as $78 billion by the end of 2028. Since Sempra controls ​around 80% of Oncor, its stake in the spinoff would be worth more than Sempra's current market ⁠value as a combined company, Voss said in the letter to its investors. It would make it easier for investors to understand Sempra, ​which Voss said is now unnecessarily complicated because it has three distinct businesses: its Southern California utility operations, Texas-based Oncor, and Sempra ​Infrastructure, which develops liquefied natural gas export facilities.
