Canada signing agreement with EU to enhance free trade deal
As relations with the Trump administration remain fraught and uncertain, trade ministers from Canada and the European Union are set to sign on to a series of improvements to their bilateral trade agreement. Maroš Šefčovič, the European Union commissioner for trade and economic security, will join International Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu in Toronto on Thursday for a ceremony marking several specific enhancements to the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA). Later, the two ministers are expected to make remarks at a joint event hosted by the Toronto Region Board of Trade at the Economic Club of Canada. Negotiations will officially launch Thursday to add a digital trade agreement to the existing treaty. CETA's revised investment court system, however, will only come into effect when every member country completes its ratification.

EDITORIAL – Can Bepple and the mayor work together if both are re-elected?
But then Bepple claimed she does get along with the mayor. So, okay, she’s free to proclaim that she will work well with the mayor if they’re both re-elected, but I see scant evidence it’s happening currently. The entire council has made a point of not working with the mayor, and he hasn’t succeeded in working with them either. Hopefully, they’ll all say they can work with the mayor during the next term, because they’ve been a flop at it this term. He has served as mayor of Kamloops, school board chair and TNRD director, and is a retired daily newspaper editor.
