The owner of the Corner Shop barbershop has been warned several times that he is violating the law for not only his outdoor signage, but also his English posts on social media.

Jesse Padulo says the provincial government has warned him that he has until July 29 to change his sign or else he will face a fine of $30,000.
Padulo told Global News inspectors from the OQLF showed up about six months ago following a complaint over his sign.
As Global's Elizabeth Zogalis reports, the language watchdog also began targeting his social media posts.

Metro Vancouver blasted for shelving review of sewage treatment plant debacle
The North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant is $3 billion over budget and will cost taxpayers for decades. Late Friday, Metro Vancouver directors held a secret vote and decided to shelve a review of the debacle. Metro Vancouver claims it's putting the review on hold because of ongoing litigation with the project's former contractor, Acciona. The trial isn't scheduled to start until 2027. 2:00 A tour of Metro Vancouver's controversial wastewater treatment plant 'Absolutely deplorable that they did this,' said New Westminster Councillor Daniel Fontaine. Story continues below advertisement 'Taxpayers are not going to get answers likely now until at least after the next civic election, which is completely unacceptable.'

There's no reason for it to be shut down.' Over the past year, Eby has promised repeatedly to take action on Metro Vancouver's failures. On July 17, 2024, he said, 'It is high time for Metro Vancouver to bring in an auditor to have a look at that.' On July 24, 2024, he commented, 'If Metro Vancouver fails to meet those standards, the province will step in.' 1:59 Fired wastewater plant contractor fires back at Metro Vancouver On Sept. 10, 2024, Eby said, 'But if they fail to do it, the province will step in.' On Jan. 22, 2025, 'This review can't come a moment too soon.' And on July 25, 2025, Eby said, 'If they can',t then the province is prepared to step in.' Story continues below advertisement Monday morning, July 28th, he said, 'We'll have a look at the justification for the decision by Metro Vancouver and how to move forward. But the bottom line is that Metro Vancouver needs to ensure accountability for taxpayers and, we'll make sure that that happens.' For its part, Metro Vancouver refuses to say which directors voted to delay the review, and claims it 'has maintained a clear and consistent record of public disclosure.' Fontaine said Eby needs to call an inquiry through the Local Government Act or allow the auditor general to intervene.

Smith says if the new round of talks goes well and ends with an agreement or settlement proposal, a vote of union members would take place in early September.

Why Quebec won't make a bilateral trade deal with Ontario
OTTAWA — When Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Quebec Premier François Legault faced reporters last week, some grinning and nervous laughter ensued when both men were asked why their two provinces could not come to a bilateral agreement on internal trade. Ford has so far signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on trade with every province and territory — except for Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador. Ford said he had 'all the confidence' in Legault, whom he considers to be a friend, and called him a 'smart business person' who 'wants prosperity for the people of Quebec' and understands that 'when Quebec and Ontario prosper, the whole country prospers.'

'So, I'm confident we'll sit down and really hash out a deal,' he said. Speaking in French, Legault said his government wholeheartedly agrees with Ford's objective of lifting internal trade barriers between provinces, but said Quebec would attain the same objective by debating and passing legislation — Bill 112 — in the fall. The bill seeks to facilitate the commercialization of goods from other provinces and territories in Quebec — with some exceptions that will be made public on the government's website — as well as the mobility of certified workers in the province. In an interview, Quebec Minister for the Economy Christopher Skeete, who tabled the bill, said he appreciates the intent behind Ontario and others signing MOUs with other jurisdictions, but said these agreements would amount to added layers of bureaucracy. 'The thinking for us is if you pass a bill like we're passing with Bill 112, that basically just opens everything. Then the point for an MOU becomes moot,' he said. Skeete, who is also responsible for red tape reduction, said the signing of MOUs between different provinces and territories will lead to businesses having to potentially go through dozens of separate agreements if they want to do business elsewhere in the country. 'I'm not sure we're providing the clarity that the exercise in cross-border trade seeks to remedy. I think the way forward is to say mutual recognition and harmonization where possible, and let's just go. I think that is the posture that we need to be dealing with.' Ontario already adopted Bill 2, the Protect Ontario Through Free Trade Within Canada Act, which enables provincial regulators to mutually recognize goods, services and recognized workers from reciprocating provinces and territories and the federal government. An official in Ford's office, speaking on a not-for-attribution basis to discuss internal matters more freely, said they respect Quebec's wish to go solely the legislative route. 'Certainly, we respect that process, and our door continues to remain open,' they said. The official added each MOU does not need dedicated legislation to enact the terms set out between Ontario and each province or territory, but specific agreements could help with the free flow of direct alcohol sales to consumers, for instance. Legault has a majority government in Quebec, which means that Bill 112 will almost certainly pass in the fall. But the bulk of the work on determining which goods should be excluded by regulation from internal trade will commence right after, said Skeete. 'The clock starts when we pass the bill,' he said, adding that different departments inside the Quebec government will have about 12 months to get back to the government and give them a list of goods that they want to opt out of or want to exclude from internal trade. 'In other words, if there's something that's being sold outside of Quebec that you absolutely want to have a different norm, you're going to have to tell us, and then we will publish that on our (ministry of the) Economy website for transparency.' That way, Skeete added, 'businesses will know exactly what they're getting themselves into when they do business in Quebec.' Many requirements that are considered not essential would be dropped once Bill 112 is in place. For instance, Transport Quebec currently has requirements that scooters should have reflectors be a specific colour, and be located both on the wheels and in the back. 'That kind of thing creates a barrier. So, we can agree that the scooter needs to have certain safety measures … but certainly, the colour and the location of the reflectors is really not the dealbreaker. So, that's the kind of thing that would disappear,' said Skeete. Some things, however, will not change under Bill 112. A senior government official in Quebec said French language laws will continue to apply for goods, and that professional orders in Quebec could require the mastery of French to practice in the province. Quebec also has more stringent consumer protection laws, which means that goods coming into the province are still subject to certain guarantees, warranties and other norms bound by Quebec's Office de la protection du consommateur, noted Skeete. The example of the scooter made in another province would not be exempt from warranty obligations unique to Quebec nor would it be exempt from having instructions in French for how to handle the scooter if it were to be sold in the province, he said. 'The way to do business in Quebec doesn't change just because you're importing things from other provinces now.'
