Arrests as picketers return to Canada Post sorting centre

MEGAN GILLIS    Updated: December 5, 2018

Police made several arrests Wednesday morning as demonstrators were again picketing at Canada Post’s mail processing plant in support of posties ordered back to work.

Police said that the demonstrators arrived at the Sandford Fleming Avenue facility in the wee hours and pegged their number at about 30 and arrests at “a few.”

“We’re assessing the situation as it progresses,” said Const. Chuck Benoit, who could not immediately specify how many people had been arrested and whether any had been charged or issued tickets.

Late Wednesday morning, an Ottawa police spokeswoman said investigations are ongoing into the Monday and Wednesday demonstrations. No further information was released.

Canada Post said Monday that “individuals are illegally obstructing the movement of mail” at its facilities in Ottawa, Hamilton and Oshawa.

“We’ll continue to take appropriate action to address illegal activity impacting the collection and delivery of mail and parcels,” the corporation said.

In Ottawa on Monday, many of the protesters were from the Revolutionary Communist Party Ottawa branch and the International Workers of the World, a spokesman said.

On Saturday, Canada Post reported that it had experienced illegal picketing by people “who are not employees of Canada Post and have no affiliation with the company” despite the Ontario Superior Court injunction against blockades of its Ontario facilities.

The Senate passed back-to-work legislation a week ago as rotating strikes entered their sixth week.

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers hailed its “allies” Monday, pointing to blockades of Canada Post facilities in Ottawa, Oshawa and Hamilton and to demonstrations across the country over the weekend. Six people were arrested in Halifax over the weekend for blockading a mail facility.

It’s become a fight about all unionized workers’ rights to free collective bargaining, the union said, calling on Canada Post to return to the table and bargain with its workers.

“The labour movement is stepping up in a big way to support postal workers and fight for the right to free collective bargaining,” the union said. “The Liberal government thought they could legislate labour peace. They have been proven wrong.”

Police warned of traffic disruptions and slow-downs in the area Wednesday due to the demonstration.

RCMP가 잘 못된 정보를 제공한 탓체 시리아에 억류되어 고문 당한 세명에게 300억이 넘는 보상금을 지급하도록 판결이 났군요. 인권을 중요시 하긴 하지만 과도 금액이 지급되고 있다고 생각하는 견해도 있군요. 캐나다는 좋은 나라입니다. 얼마전 북한에 억류되었다 풀려난 목사님도 캐나다 시민권자였기 때문에 살아 돌아올 수 있었다고 하니 말입니다.

미국에서 JFK 암살 관련된 비밀 문서들을 공개하도록 트럼프 대통령이 승인을 했군요. 그렇지만 여전히 상당 수 예민한 자료들은 공개할 수 없다는 군요.

Two new studies have some surprising findings on the prevalence of food allergies among both adults and children. Plus, we have an update to CTV News' report on the settlement paid to three men wrongfully accused of links to terrorism and tortured in a Syrian prison.

Plus, CTV News contributor Richard Crouse lays out the films you should check out at theatres this weekend.

1. $31.3M in settlements: As CTV News first reported, the federal government has paid a total of $31.3 million in settlements to three men wrongfully accused of links to terrorism and tortured in a Syrian prison. Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale's office said in a statement on Thursday that this settlement is 'consistent' with the findings of the 2008 federal inquiry into the detentions of the three men.

2. Allergy research: Two studies have found that food allergies are on the rise in the United States amongst both adults and children. One study found that almost half of all adults with food allergies report that they don't develop their allergies until reaching adulthood.

3. JFK files: U.S. President Donald Trump okayed the release of roughly 2,800 documents on Thursday concerning the assassination of John F. Kennedy, but did cave to pressure from intelligence agencies by holding back some. 

4. Pension concerns: The Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner says she has 'concerns' about Finance Minister Bill Morneau's sponsorship of Bill C-27, which proposes changes to private pensions.

5. Top 40 under 40: Four Canadian police officers and a crime analyst have made the list of top 40 law enforcement professionals in the world under the age of 40.

And one more thing… "Suburbicon" is a beautifully nasty film, nicely made but marching to the beat of a very dark heart, says film critic Richard Crouse.
