Canadian Pacific Railway cuts exec perks, changes compensation after criticism
– canadianbusiness.com
Canadian Pacific Railway (TSX:CP) is cutting back on perks for its top executives and changing the way they’re paid in response to shareholder frustration over C-suite compensation.
In a regulatory filing, the Calgary-based company says operating ratio, a key measure of efficiency in the railway industry, will have less influence in determining executive compensation. The operating ratio improved for five straight years under Hunter Harrison’s watch as CEO.
Instead, CP will place greater emphasis on safety and operating income to incentivize executives, its proxy circular said.
The filing said calls for safety performance measures came from shareholders that CP consulted with last year after its annual meeting, during which a bare majority of them rejected the company’s executive pay system in a non-binding vote.
Kevin Thomas, a director for the Shareholder Association for Research & Education, said Thursday CP deserves credit for making the changes. But he added that the company is still taking into account railway performance…

OTTAWA – The federal Conservative party removed more than 1,300 people from its membership rolls Friday following a review triggered by leadership hopeful Kevin O’Leary’s accusation that one of his rivals has been engaging in widespread fraud and vote-rigging.
The party’s announcement capped a day in which O’Leary’s allegations were attacked or mocked by a number of his leadership rivals, most particularly by Maxime Bernier who bluntly dismissed the celebrity businessman as a sore loser.
Yet the party’s findings backed up O’Leary’s assertion, levelled late Thursday, that unnamed backroom organizers were trying to buy the leadership race by using untraceable, pre-paid credit cards to sign up fake members.
After an expedited review, the party revealed Friday that it found 1,351 memberships were purchased through two IP addresses, not paid for by each individual as required under party rules. Those memberships have been cancelled and the individuals are no longer eligible to vote in the leadership contest…

5 ways Trump has already poisoned Canadian politics
– macleans.ca
Conservative leadership candidate Kevin O’Leary speaks at Queen’s University, in Kingston, Ont., on Thursday, March 16, 2017. (Lars Hagberg/CP)Since the election of Donald Trump, Canada has been regularly lauded by foreign media, celebrities and many in the international community for its welcoming stance towards immigrants and resistance to populist sentiment. But for all that praise, there’s ample evidence that Trump is influencing the tone and nature of Canadian politics.
Here are five specific examples of Trumpian rhetoric and political tactics spilling over the Canadian border.
1) Accusing rivals of ‘vote rigging”
Kevin O’Leary, also a TV personality with zero political experience, has levelled the unsubstantiated claim of “fraud” and “widespread vote rigging” against at least one unnamed Conservative leadership rival—though he won’t say which one. In a statement O’Leary accused the rival campaign of using prepaid credit cards to sign up fake party members without their consent…
