Canadian Press says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said that there are no easy answers to the dispute over a British Columbia pipeline project that has paralyzed the national rail system. Indigenous protesters Friday continued their illegal blockade of the rails across Canada. Speaking in Munich, Mr. Trudeau recalled centuries of history during which “we have failed our Indigenous peoples.” He said all parties must move towards reconciliation. There was apparently no reference to when the government might act to restore freight and passenger service or the court decisions which have approved the pipeline. CTV

Well-toned and hunky members of the St. Catharines Fire Combat Team have been told to put their shirts back on or risk losing support for their annual charity calendar. Municipal officials say firefighters have to cover up or take off their uniforms because the City can’t support the publication of photos of its employees in states of undress.

StubHub Canada Ltd. and StubHub Inc. will pay a $1.3 million penalty for making misleading pricing claims and will ensure costs for Canadian events it sells tickets to are posted with their mandatory fees. The penalty is part of an agreement the entertainment and sport ticket reseller made through the Competition Tribunal after the Competition Bureau discovered StubHub advertised tickets at “unattainable” prices on its websites, mobile apps and in promotional emails to Canadians.

Prices higher than stated

The Bureau says its investigation found that StubHub was charging mandatory fees above the price advertised and was not selling tickets for the cost it had promoted. The Bureau says consumers couldn’t see the full cost of their ticket unless they clicked or tapped to turn on pricing option filters or waited until later in the purchasing process. Some consumers who filtered results to see tickets that were inclusive of fees were still asked to pay more than the prices they were originally shown — Canadian Press
