Parents and students ‘fed up’ with B.C.’s teachers’ feud
– macleans.ca
VANCOUVER — All summer long, there’s been one overriding conversation amongst the hundred-plus employees at a Vancouver financial firm who have school-age children: British Columbia’s acrimonious teachers’ strike.
Project analyst Robert Ford, with Credential Financial, has a 12-year-old daughter and six-year-old son who won’t be starting their school year this Tuesday, and he said the parents at his company all feel the same.
“Fed up,” he said. “That’s it. No matter what, they want it done. Parents have actually devolved in their opinions to (picking) neither side. Just get ‘er done.”
Fourteen weeks have passed since B.C.’s more than 40,000 unionized teachers walked off the job in a rotating and then full-scale strike last June, ejecting half-a-million children from classes about two weeks before summer break.
Just a day before the scheduled start of the fall session, there was no indication about when, how or to what extent the conflict will be resolved…

Survey: Foreign companies in China feel ‘targeted’ by regulators; business group
– canadianbusiness.com
BEIJING, China – An American business group warned Tuesday that foreign companies in China feel increasingly targeted for unfair enforcement of anti-monopoly and other laws and said investment might decline if conditions fail to improve.
The American Chamber of Commerce’s report adds to mounting complaints about a flurry of investigations of global automakers, technology suppliers and other companies in recent months. Some foreign managers say Chinese authorities appear to be trying to hamper them and shield domestic rivals from competition.
Foreign companies believe they face “selective and subjective enforcement” of anti-monopoly, food safety and other rules, said the American Chamber of Commerce in China.
Almost half of companies responding to a survey “believe that foreign companies are being targeted,” the group said. It said the risk was increasing that China “will permanently lose its lustre as a desirable investment destination.”
“Improvements in these areas are imperative if foreign companies are to continue to invest in China’s future,” the group said in a statement…
