CALGARY — A union representing close to 300 signals workers with Canadian Pacific Kansas City Ltd. says its members are on strike.

The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers says the job action began at the railway on Sunday morning after the union’s 72-hour strike notice expired and both sides failed to reach a deal.

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is stepping up his attack on Liberal policies with a call for an emergency parliamentary debate on the economy.

Statistics Canada said Friday the economy contracted slightly for the second quarter in a row to start the year — a benchmark that meets some definitions of a technical recession.
