Greg Brady (@GregBradyTO) focuses in on  the federal government stepping in, after less than a full day of a rail stoppage, ordering CN Rail and CPKC, and the union to binding arbitration. Everyone thought this was great news – and that meant the rails would start rolling – but, late Thursday – the Teamsters union issued a statement via X, disputing the government’s decision – meaning the stoppage is still on. How long will it take to get the issue resolved? We ask John Corey, President of the Freight Management Association of Canada.

Next,  Mike Van Soelen, a crisis communications expert with Oyster Group. We talked about CUPE Ontario President Fred Hahn – his union has called for his resignation due to an antisemitic social media post, but Hahn says he won’t back down and What’s the move here? How can Hahn win this battle?

Lastly, Sean O’Shea, Global News Consumer and Investigative Reporter and we were talking about a devastating ending to the story of a missing Ontario real estate agent. A Markham woman named Yuk-Ying Anita Mui, 56, was reported missing by her family on August 9th. York Regional Police say the burned human remains that were found in Parry Sound have been identified as those from a missing Ontario real estate agent. Sean was on the scene in Parry Sound last night on this story.
