Kazada yaralanan en az 30 çocuk ise Filistin ve İsrail'deki çeşitli hastanelere kaldırılmıştı.

Los Bomberos de Ferrol tuvieron que emplearse a fondo para apagar las llamas de un nuevo incendio en las ruinas del Sánchez Aguilera. Todavía se desconocen las causas del suceso, pero el fuego generó una gran humareda que se podía ver desde diferentes partes de la ciudad. La dotación de los contraincendios incluso tuvo que acudir a las reservas de agua de la calle, bocas de riego, porque acabaron con las que llevaban en sus vehículos. Fuentes del operativo descartan que se produjesen heridos, aunque todavía no pueden hacer un balance de la situación. El jefe de los contraincendios, Enrique Suárez, explicó que las llamas se propagaron rápido debido a la gran cantidad de enseres y basura que se acumula en unas ruinas que se plantean tapiar para evitar más siniestros de este tipo.

A 15-year-old boy is dead after he was thrown by one vehicle before being hit by a second while crossing the road in Vaughan; the Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses says not enough time has passed to recall CEBA loans; and, an Ontario man was shocked when OHIP paid him less than $2,000 towards a $28,000 bill for shoulder surgery at a private clinic in Calgary.

The deadline for repaying the Canada Emergency Business Account has passed. Thousands of businesses and not-for-profits took out loans of up $60,000. They were originally interest-free...and meant to help during the Covid lockdowns. But as of yesterday, that loan is due...and collecting interest. Some business owners are speaking out about the federal government's decision NOT to extend the deadline. Rebecca LeRiche (0:00 mark of podcast) owns Starboard Side Guest House in Port aux Basques.

Today is the deadline for businesses to repay their Canada Emergency Business Account loans. The interest free loans were for as much as $60,000 - and were intended to help small businesses and not for profits affected by COVID lockdowns. It's a story that Frederic Gionet has been watching closely. He is a Senior Policy Analyst for the CFIB's Atlantic Region, and he joined us now live from Moncton.

In this interview, Mark von Schellwitz, VP Western, Restaurants Canada, discusses how many restaurants in Canada are on the brink of closing because they can't meet the repayment deadline of January 18 for the Canada Emergency Bank Account loan. PRESS RELEASE With just days remaining until the Federal Government enforces the Canada Emergency Business Account (CEBA) loan repayment, Restaurants Canada is urgently calling for a last-minute extension to prevent the devastating consequences facing the food service industry. Despite the best efforts made by Restaurants Canada, the Federal Government has declined to extend the CEBA loan repayment deadline of January 18th, 2024. This decision leaves our members, representing thousands of restaurants across the country, with limited options to avoid bankruptcy and recover from the ongoing financial challenges that arose during the pandemic. A startling survey of the industry reveals that 1 in 5 restaurants with a CEBA loan are now on the brink of closing one or more of their locations. The food service sector has been disproportionately affected by the pandemic lockdowns, enduring the longest lockdown period in North America, which has led to a significant accumulation of debt. Additionally, the foodservice industry operates on traditionally low profit margins, rendering it further vulnerable to external pressures. Recovery in the food service industry has been painfully slow because of several factors beyond the control of restauranteurs, including record-high inflation, the rising cost of food, and labour shortages. We are not asking for a hand-out; we are asking for more time. Currently, a staggering 53% of restaurants are operating at a loss or barely breaking even compared to 10% pre-pandemic, underscoring the obvious connection to this unique and devastating period in our industry and the urgent need for further support and assistance. Kelly Higginson, President, and CEO of Restaurants Canada stated, “People understand that restaurants are part of our social fabric, they are gathering spots to celebrate life's milestones and achievements and the place where friends come to reconnect.” Higginson continued, “Your favourite mom and pop restaurant and local gathering place is at risk. If what the industry is telling us comes to fruition, Canadian communities will lose something very special, simply because of an arbitrary deadline.” Restaurants Canada strongly urges the Federal Government to reconsider their decision and provide an extension to the CEBA loan repayment deadline. Immediate action is essential to prevent further closures and ensure the long-term survival of this critical sector, which contributes significantly to the nation's economy. In the face of these challenges, Restaurants Canada stands firmly with our members and encourages them to visit our website at restaurantscanada.org for guidance on how to navigate this difficult period and learn about available resources.

In this interview, Corinne Pohlmann, Executive Vice-President of Advocacy of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, discusses the big challenges small businesses continue to face in Canada. Pohlmann talks about the looming repayment deadline for the Canada Emergency Business Account as well as the increases in employers' payrolls with hikes for Canada Pension Plan and Employment Insurance. NEWS RELEASE No cost relief in sight for Canadians and small businesses as government hikes CPP and EI yet again Toronto, January 4, 2024 – As of Jan. 1, Canadians will be seeing a drop in their take-home income, while employers will face another increase to their payroll budgets due to Employment Insurance (EI) hikes and adding a second earnings limit to Canada Pension Plan (CPP) thereby hiking CPP, says the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB). These latest hikes increased payroll taxes for employers by up to $366 per employee, and up to $348 for workers. This year, total employer contributions for CPP and EI alone could amount to $5,524 per employee. “That's a significant increase in the cost of labour for employers and puts them in an even tougher position, especially when many employees will be looking for a salary increase at the beginning of the year. Business owners may be forced to rethink their wage and hiring plans for 2024. And that is over and above other cost pressures small businesses are dealing with right now, such as the looming Canada Emergency Business Account repayment deadline,” said Corinne Pohlmann, Executive Vice-President of Advocacy at CFIB. Heading into 2024, most small businesses (77%) want governments to focus on addressing rising prices and the cost of doing business, while another 74% want governments to reduce the overall tax burden, according to a recent CFIB survey. If governments reduced the overall tax burden, over half (57%) of small businesses said they would increase employee compensation such as wages and benefits. CFIB is calling on Ottawa to work with the provinces to offset the CPP hikes, implement a 50:50 split in EI premiums between employers and employees, or introduce a refundable credit, similar to the 2015-16 Small Business Job Credit, to offset the rate increases for small businesses. With the carbon tax set to increase to $80 per tonne on April 1, the federal government should overhaul the entire carbon tax system by halting future carbon tax increases, immediately returning all promised funds to small businesses that paid into the tax and expanding the carbon tax exemption to all forms of heating fuels, including natural gas and other sources used by small business. “Ottawa is sitting on $2.5 billion in carbon tax revenue that it promised to return to small businesses, at the same time it's providing large subsidies to multinational corporations, while small businesses and Canadians are struggling with the increased costs of living. Is this where government priorities lie?” Pohlmann said. “Ottawa must wake up and realize the impacts its recent decisions on CEBA and rate hikes will have on small businesses' ability to continue to operate, much less compete.” Methodology: Final results for the Your Voice – December 2023 survey, conducted from December 7-19, 2023, number of respondents = 2,966.
