Travel to the United States?The rules are still changing

This week, American tourists eager to visit Canada received welcome news when the federal government announced that it would reopen to vaccinated American citizens on August 9.

However, there is still no date when Canadians can cross the land border and enter the United States, which makes some potential travelers express their frustration.

“I waited very patiently. We all waited very patiently for this border to open,” said Leslie Bettel of Lethbridge, Alta. She owns a second home in Columbia Falls, about 290 kilometers away, but because the US land border is closed, she cannot drive there.

“It’s great to be able to enter our place for free,” she said. read more

Ottawa says oil and gas workers “will not lag behind” in the future of clean energy

The federal government is launching a long-awaited process to develop a plan to support oil and gas workers because economies around the world are moving away from fossil fuels.

“They will not be left behind,” Natural Resources Minister Simos Oregan said at a news conference. “Workers will be the center of a clean energy future.”

Earlier this week, the minister initiated a consultation process for nearly three months.

Workers, labor groups, and industry stakeholders can submit their feedback on proposed federal legislation that will provide support for workers leaving the industry, such as job training.

But according to Jim Stanford, an economist at the Canadian Center for Policy Alternatives, this is still just a “small step.”

“Given the upcoming elections, this is more to make the government look like it is doing something,” he said.

He estimated that in the next 25 years, many jobs in the oil region will disappear, and the government will need to spend at least $1 billion a year to support the retraining and relocation of workers. read more
