Since October 10, 2024, when discussions on the renewal of the collective agreement began, the parties have met thirty times and have maintained ongoing exchanges on a range of proposals.

On February 11, the employer’s representatives informed the union representatives that the employer was considering the possibility of seeking conciliation to help advance discussions. The union indicated that it would proceed with a request and submitted one to the Ministry of Labour the following day.

Six months before the killings in Tumbler Ridge, Open AI suspended a ChatGPT account owned by the shooter. However, it failed to alert Canadian authorities of its contents. In the wake of Bill C-27’s death on the order paper in January 2025, there remains no binding federal regulation of artificial intelligence in Canada. These McGill experts can comment:

Negotiations with this group began on February 4.

The parties conducted an initial exchange regarding their respective normative proposals.

Additional meetings are scheduled over the coming weeks.

The parties began the negotiation process on September 18, have held nearly ten meetings, and since December 1 have begun discussions on the monetary elements of the collective agreement.

As global trade wars, geopolitical tensions and AI advances reshape financial markets, pension funds face mounting pressure to adapt.

The price of groceries is rising—and so is the number of liquidation grocery stores. Once considered a niche option for cash-strapped shoppers, liquidation grocery stores are now being used by a broader cross-section of Canadian society, according to reporting in Canadian Grocer. The growth of liquidation of stores like Liquidation Marie reflects broader supply chain pressures, says Yu Ma, a Professor of Marketing at McGill Desautels.

To rent or to buy—that’s the dilemma facing many today. Real estate prices are at historic highs, and elevated interest rates have pushed up the cost of homeownership. At the same time, stock markets have delivered strong returns in recent years. Beyond these financial pressures, the nature of homeownership itself adds another layer of complexity.

Today’s online retail experience is built for convenience, removing nearly every barrier between browsing and buying. “E-commerce has reduced the friction of the purchasing process,” says Siddhanth Mookerjee, an Assistant Professor of Marketing at the Bensadoun School of Retail Management.

The killing on Sunday of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho,” the leader of a powerful drug cartel, has triggered violence between security forces and criminal gangs in at least 20 of Mexico’s 32 states. Canadian airlines have suspended flights in and out of Puerto Vallarta and tourists in the popular resort destination are sheltering in place.

A new McGill University study has found a direct link between age‑related declines in neuron activity in the cerebellum and worsening motor skills, including gait, balance and agility. While it is well known that these abilities diminish with age, this is the first research to pinpoint how changes in Purkinje cells – a key type of cerebellar neuron – drive this decline and translate into measurable changes in behaviour and physical function.

***YEAR END FUND TYPE CHANGES, ORG CODE CHANGES AND FUND CLOSURE***

Dear Colleagues,

In anticipation of budget related activities as well as our year-end procedures, and to ensure an efficient closing process, please refrain from processing fund type changes, org code changes and fund closures during the following periods which are contingent on the fund type:

A study of Black Americans is among the first to show how the internalization of negative messages about dark skin tones could be linked to harms to health.

Researchers found that Black Americans who are, or perceive themselves to be, dark skinned show clear markers of cellular aging associated with immune-system damage and also score lower on a measurement of self-worth. Cellular aging and low self-worth are both associated with relatively poor health outcomes.

It is with a heavy heart that we write to inform you know that David Harpp, the Tomlinson Professor Emeritus in Science Education, our colleague, but also to many of us in the department a teacher, mentor and friend for many decades, passed away Saturday February 14th, peacefully and in the presence of those closest to him.
