WSIB Workers to Hold Information Picket at Union Station as Strike Enters July
The action aims to educate commuters returning to work after the long weekend about the ongoing lockout of more than 3,600 WSIB workers, the impact on injured workers and employers, and the need for WSIB leadership to return to the bargaining table with a fair deal.
"We're entering July and WSIB management continues to delay and deflect while critical services remain disrupted," said OCEU president Harry Goslin. "The public deserves to know what's really going on — that the people who support injured workers have been shut out instead of bargained with."
The picket follows the delivery of a petition to the WSIB board last week, signed by more than 3,000 frontline staff, CUPE members and concerned Ontarians. The petition calls for an immediate end to the lockout and urges the board to uphold its governance responsibility.
OCEU is calling on WSIB leadership to provide a fair and comprehensive deal that allows workers to return to their roles supporting injured Ontarians and protecting the integrity of the workers' compensation system.
Union members and frontline WSIB staff will be at Union Station from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on July 2. OCEU president Harry Goslin will be available for media interviews on site.

Juventus seal move for Jonathan David
After an extremely long period of contacts and negotiations, Juventus have completed their pursuit of former Lille forward and Canadian international Jonathan David, sealing their first signing of the 2025/26 season. Giovanni Albanese of La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the Bianconeri have acquired the 25-year-old on a multi-year contract worth €6m per-season, with additional bonuses of €2m. Advertisement David has been the main topic of the transfer market thus far as the well-documented forward was available on a free transfer at the end of the season after deciding not to renew his contract with Lille, ending his five-year stay at the French giants. The clinical finisher had a stellar campaign, ending the season with a total of 25 goals and 12 assists in 49 games-played across all competitions, proving to be a pivotal asset up-top. Hence, the Canadian forward has attracted numerous suitors such as Inter, Napoli, Milan, PSG, Arsenal, Liverpool, Man United, Chelsea, Tottenham, and Bayern Munich. Despite the immense competition for David's signature, the Bianconeri managed to overcome the European giants in acquiring the 25-year-old forward's services, and are now prepared to let attacking pair Dusan Vlahovic and Arkadiusz Milik depart the club to make room in the attacking department.

Bombardier stock hits highest level since 2011; analysis praises US$1.7B deal
Bombardier's ( stock hit its highest level since 2011 on Wednesday. Analysts are hailing the Canadian business jet maker's recent US$1.7 billion deal with an anonymous buyer as the latest sign of strong demand, and the waning threat of U.S. tariffs. Montreal-based Bombardier announced an order for 50 of its Challenger and Global aircraft, plus a long-term maintenance contract on Monday. Deliveries to the unnamed buyer are set to begin in 2027. The company's Toronto-listed shares have rallied in the weeks since Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA)-compliant goods were exempted from U.S. import tariffs imposed by the White House. Bombardier shares gained as much as 16 per cent on Wednesday, adding 15.14 per cent to $136.60 as at 10:48 a.m. ET. Scotiabank analyst Konark Gupta upgraded the stock to 'sector outperform' from 'sector perform' in a note to clients on Wednesday, while hiking his price target to $150 per share from $105. 'Demand appears to be rebounding with the tariff noise dissipating,' Gupta wrote in a report. 'While our discussion and site visit led us to believe that the company is firing on all cylinders after a lacklustre Q1 order intake, the icing on the cake was its latest significant order win, which boosts our confidence in management's near-term and long-term outlook.' While Bombardier's once-battered stock has gained significant ground, RBC Capital Markets analyst James McGarragle says it remains 'under-appreciated at current levels.' He says the inclusion of a long-term maintenance contract in the deal announced on Monday is good news for investors. 'This deal not only strengthens visibility into future revenue streams, but also solidifies confidence in the company's ability to generate consistent profitability and long-term shareholder value,' McGarragle wrote in a note to clients on Tuesday. He maintains a $108 per share price target on the stock, with an 'outperform' rating. Jeff Lagerquist is a senior reporter at Yahoo Finance Canada. Follow him on X @jefflagerquist.
