Canada’s Quebecor to pull its ads from Facebook, Instagram

July 5 (Reuters) – Telecom and media firm Quebecor (QBRb.TO) said on Wednesday it will pull its ads from Facebook and Instagram, following Meta Platforms’ (META.O) decision to stop access to news on both the social media platforms in Canada over a law requiring payments to local news publishers. The “Online News Act”, or House of Commons bill C-18, introduced in April last year laid out rules to force companies such as Meta and Alphabet-owned (GOOGL.O) Google to negotiate commercial deals and pay news publishers for their content. Google and Meta previously said they would block access to news articles…

Who Moves Out When You Separate?

Who Moves Out When You Separate?

If the property is in your name only, it is sometimes the belief that the other person should be the one to leave. However there are circumstances, in particular if you have children, where you may be wise to think differently. In instances where, for example, the other parent has no means to pay rent to live elsewhere, effectively leaving them unable to put a roof over the head of their child, then a Court would look less favorable on you. This is because in family law, where children are involved, the ‘best interests of the child’ is to be…

Lawmakers in 11 states seek to weaken child labor restrictions

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — In the past two years, lawmakers in at least 11 states have sought to loosen child labor laws to help employers fill empty jobs, even as federal officials and news investigations suggest that many minors working in manufacturing, meatpacking and construction jobs are being exploited or hurt. The unemployment rate sits at 3.5% — a level last reached in 1969 — and businesses of all types, from factories to restaurants to retail stores, are struggling to find workers. Some state legislators, mostly Republicans, see teenagers as a partial solution. They also argue that relaxing the rules will…
