Top federal department blasted as 'hypocritical' for refusing to share layoff numbers
OTTAWA — Canada’s largest public-sector union blasted the top government department as “hypocritical” for refusing to say how many of its employees received notice of a potential layoff weeks ago. PCO is the department that serves the Prime Minister’s Office and oversees the rest of the federal public service. The top federal department refuses to say despite the fact that all impacted workers have already been notified. The document suggests 230 PCO employees received a letter telling them their job would be affected by the cuts. Between 2015 and 2025, the number of federal public servants swelled to 358,000 from 257,000, according to government data.

Navy ponders concept of Canadian-built amphibious landing ship for Arctic operations
The commander of the Royal Canadian Navy is floating the idea of an ice-capable amphibious landing ship to move troops and equipment around the country’s Arctic — and perhaps elsewhere. Each of the companies have notional ideas — even proposals — that could be modified to create an all-Canadian designed-and-built landing ship for Far North operations. WATCH | Canada's navy examining adding an amphibious landing ship in the Arctic:Canada's navy commander on the need for an ice-capable landing ship in the Arctic | Duration 0:57 Canada’s navy is studying the idea of adding an amphibious landing ship to the fleet for Arctic operations.

'Hiding their Jewish identity': Professor warns antisemitism is making campuses intolerable for Jews
“If Western governments aren’t going to deal with the issue (of antisemitism), this is what we’re going to end up with. “In a very strategic and intentional way,” Cary asserts, “our universities are being used as a source of ideological propaganda. If you are Jewish, you’re 25 times more likely to experience a hate crime than the general population. And many of these Jewish students are quietly quitting programs of study that are hostile. “It’s a pendulum that swings,” Cary responds, “so you’re gonna see a momentary emergence of compassion towards the Jewish community after Bondi.

At-sea observer program is ‘broken,’ advocates say, but electronic tools and AI could help
Advocates say the observer program for Atlantic Canada’s fisheries is ‘broken,’ with many fisheries failing to meet required levels for monitoring by at-sea observers. The at-sea observer program has been plagued by labour shortages, particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic, meaning many fishing vessels are not carrying at-sea observers with them as frequently as required by Fisheries and Oceans Canada targets. Many fisheries are falling well below coverage targets, according to advocates and documents obtained by CBC News through access to information requests. In the meantime, without sufficient coverage, information needed to effectively manage stocks is lacking. Coverage targets are set at five to 20 per cent, and in some cases 100 per cent , depending on the fishery.
