economy around workers, an attempt to draw a contrast with Republicans who have increasingly attracted blue-collar votes."We should encourage unions," Biden said. "I’m not just saying that to be pro-union.

I’m saying it because I’m pro-American."The speech before the AFL-CIO convention in Philadelphia was the president's attempt to reset the terms of the debate on the economy as the president's own approval ratings have slid while consumer prices and the cost of gasoline have surged.Inflation at a more than 40-year high has caused voters to sour on the economy, despite a recovery after the pandemic-induced downturn that has led to robust hiring and a healthy 3.6% unemployment rate.

The president on Tuesday tried to remind his audience of the food lines and layoffs during the coronavirus pandemic that preceded his presidency, contrasting that with the improvements in household balance sheets under his watch.But even as the economy has quickly amassed jobs, inflation has left many workers feeling worse off as wages have not kept up with the costs of living.

Florida man locks daughter’s 3 dogs in hot car for days, leaving them to die, deputies say

Courtesy: Escambia County Sheriff's Office CANTONMENT, Fla. - A Florida man is accused of killing his daughter’s three dogs by locking them in a hot car for several days. Deputies in Escambia County say Felton Charles Henderson’s daughter asked him to take care of her three dogs for a few days while she was out of town. Escambia County Sheriff Chip Simmons says the woman left food, water and everything the dogs would need while she was gone. However, when she returned and asked where her dogs were, the sheriff says her father led her to a blue Toyota Camry, opened the door and pulled out three dead dogs. READ It's so hot in Tennessee that the birds are panting like dogs"It is apparent that all he did was lock these dogs in today’s heat, yesterday’s heat, the day before yesterday’s heat," Simmons stated.

‘A big shock’: Canadians feeling squeezed by Bank of Canada’s interest rate hikes

Bank of Canada’s continued interest rate hikes this year — including Wednesday’s surprise one per cent bump — have hit Canadians like Aashti Vijh hard.In January, the 30-year-old marketing and communications manager was paying about $1,600 per month for the variable rate mortgage she has on her downtown Toronto condo. Now, that monthly payment will be nearly $2,000.“It’s been a big shock and a big change for me personally,” she told Global News Wednesday, shortly after the central bank’s announcement, which added about $200 to her payments alone.“I’m also managing the mortgage by myself, so all of these payments come out from my paycheque.” Bank of Canada hikes key interest rate by full percentage point in surprise move The key interest rate now sits at 2.5 per cent, a drastic shift from the 0.25 per cent rate seen at the start of the year, as the Bank of Canada tries to tame decades-high inflation that has sent prices skyrocketing.The bank’s governor Tiff Macklem acknowledged Wednesday that higher interest rates will add to the difficulties that Canadians are already facing with high inflation, but said if inflation becomes entrenched it will be more painful for the economy — and for Canadians — to get it back down.That comes as little comfort for Vijh.

B.C. powwow organizers apologize after identity-based event rules spark outrage

powwow in Kamloops, B.C. have issued their “sincerest apologies” after the event rules posted to their Facebook page sparked significant public outrage.According to a Tuesday post, contestants in the 41st Annual Kamloopa Powwow must be “at least (1/4) Native Blood,” and proof of “tribal identification/status may be required.” The rules also stated that dancers must wear full regalia and “be of the correct gender for that category.”The rules sparked immediate backlash, with some social media users accusing the Kamloopa Powwow Society (KPS) of enforcing colonial blood quantum, excluding gender diverse and two-spirit people, and upholding transphobia.“My deepest sympathy to those who have been hurt and harmed in that posting,” said an organizer in a video posted to the group’s Facebook page on Wednesday. “The KPS board has been able to meet to discuss how we’re going to move forward and looking at those rules and making our wrong right.”Global News has reached out to the KPS for comment on this story.

The goal was to remove backlogs of ships waiting to dock and containers waiting to flow into the country, a logjam that was pumping up prices as the world began to recover from the coronavirus pandemic.The port is now moving out a record 200,000 containers on a rolling 30-day average.
