That’s down 13.5 per cent from US$819.2 million a year earlier. The Laval, Que.-based company says total revenues were US$17.4 billion, up six per cent from US$16.4 billion. Earnings per diluted share were 75 cents US, down from 85 cents US during the same quarter last year. The company says its adjusted net earnings were reduced primarily due to a lower road transportation fuel gross margin in the U.S. as well as softer consumer traffic and demand and other factors. President and CEO Alex Miller says parts of the company’s fuel and convenience business continued to feel the effects of careful consumer spending, and the company is confident in its long-term strategic growth plan.

Rays will play 13 of first 16 games at home and 47 of 59, then have 69 of last 103 on roadOTTAWA — NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says his party will not support a Liberal plan to give Canadians a GST holiday and $250 unless the government expands eligibility for the cheques, saying the rebate leaves out “the most vulnerable.” The Liberals announced a plan last week to cut the federal sales tax on a raft of items like toys and restaurant meals for two months, and to give $250 to more than 18.7 million Canadians in the spring. Speaking after a Canadian Labour Congress event in Ottawa, Singh says he’s open to passing the GST legislation, but the rebate needs to include seniors, students, people who are on disability benefits and those who were not able to work last year. Singh says he initially supported the idea because he thought the rebate cheques would go to anyone who earned under $150,000 last year. But the so-called working Canadians rebate will be sent to those who had an income, leaving out people Singh says need the help. The government intends to include the measures in the fall economic statement, which has not yet been introduced in the House of Commons. The proposed GST holiday would begin in mid-December, lasting for two months. It would remove the GST on prepared foods at grocery stores, some alcoholic drinks, children’s clothes and toys, Christmas trees, restaurant meals, books, video games and physical newspapers. A privilege debate has held up all government business in the House since late September, with the Conservatives pledging to continue a filibuster until the government hands over unredacted documents related to misspending at a green technology fund. The NDP said last week they had agreed to pause the privilege debate in order to pass the legislation to usher in the GST holiday. Singh said Tuesday that unless there are changes to the proposed legislation, he will not support pausing the debate. The Bloc Québécois is also pushing for the rebates to be sent to seniors and retirees. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 26, 2024. David Baxter, The Canadian Press

Peter Johannes Schuyten, 80, died at home on December 9, 2024. He was born on May 11, 1944, at Mare Island Naval Hospital in Vallejo, Calif., the son of Nancy E. (Sobek) and Egbert Johannes Schuyten. Peter grew up in Greenwich, Conn., and attended the Taft School in Watertown, graduating in 1962. He earned his bachelor’s degree and master’s degree in English literature from New York University and then embarked on a career in journalism. He married Elaine Bernstein while at NYU; that marriage ended in divorce. Peter’s first job was at McGraw Hill’s Electronics magazine, where he worked for four years before he decided to try and fulfill his dream of working at Fortune magazine. Fortune wasn’t hiring at the time, but that didn’t stop Peter from going to their offices multiple times and waiting by the receptionist’s desk to see if he could get an interview. And yes, he did and was hired as a researcher and was mentored by a wonderful man, Stanley Brown. Peter’s first big story was about Universal Studios, where he had the chance to meet legendary chief costumer Edith Head and legendary director Alfred Hitchcock, whom he interviewed. A treasured souvenir from that experience was a small signed portrait of Hitchcock, of which Peter was truly proud. After six years at Fortune, Peter set his sights on another of the world’s great publications: The New York Times. He was hired as a science and technology writer, even though it was a field in which he had little interest. He broke some key stories about the first cell phones and other tech advances of the late 1970s. Three years later, Dow Jones offered him a job, again in technology, but this time working on the company’s first online information service, in 1980, before the internet was commonly in use. Peter moved to Princeton, N.J., where Dow Jones was based, and then married his longtime friend, Ann Hengstenberg, on whom he had had a crush for years. Tragically, she died two years into this fresh marriage. Peter remained in Princeton, where he rowed crew on Carnegie Lake with a passion. After a few years, he met his next wife, Jodi Rothe, to whom he was married for 22 years. They made their home together in Southfield, using their apartment in New York for cultural outings, and despite their divorce in 2016, they continued to be friends until his death. Peter retired from Dow Jones in 2010 but, like a true journalist, he continued to be deeply fascinated by the world around him. He developed new friendships and new passions, including reporting on town government for the respected New Marlborough 5 Village News (a small monthly publication staffed by editors and writers from some of the country’s most successful magazines and newspapers). He decided to join a poker group with some of his friends in the Berkshires—and then had to quickly teach himself how to play. He also began playing golf in the summer at courses in North Canaan, Conn., and at The Hotchkiss School in Lakeville, Conn. Peter loved music, especially opera. His friends were often fortunate to be invited to join him in the front row at Music Mountain in Falls Village, Conn., where he was a member of the board. Peter remained a strong supporter of AA. A few years ago, he developed an interest in Christianity that led him to join a study group at Christ Trinity Church in Sheffield. He later joined the church’s vestry council. This experience led him to plan a trip to Israel, which was a highlight of his later life. In recent years, he developed pulmonary fibrosis, which often left him dangerously short of breath. Knowing that his time was limited, he planned an ambitious trip to Africa this year. Despite his physical frailty, he managed to make the arduous voyage, fulfilling a lifelong dream. Peter always treasured the companionship of his pets, most especially the dogs. He leaves behind a wonderful cat named Teddy. In addition to his ex-wife Jodi Rothe of New Marlborough, he is survived by three sisters, Kathy Sebestyen, Candace Massey, and Vicki Fuscaldo; his stepmother Dolly Schuyten; and many beloved nieces and nephews. Peter was a wonderful big brother for his sisters. In addition to his unfailing good humor and thoughtful advice, he could be compassionate and understanding when the situation required it. In his later years, Peter became the epitome of the generous uncle to his nieces and nephews. He will be missed terribly at the Christmas and Easter celebrations in Orlando, Fla., where he was a regular visitor and could be relied upon to finish off the turkey leftovers. As an avid rower, Peter would know that his family wishes him smooth sailing forever. Calling hours will be held on Thursday, December 19, from 4 to 6 p.m., at the Finnerty & Stevens Funeral Home in Great Barrington; the memorial service will be held Friday, December 20, at noon, at Christ Trinity Lutheran/Episcopal Church in Sheffield. Burial will follow immediately after the service at Carroll Cemetery in Mill River, and a reception will follow at Christ Trinity Parish Hall. In lieu of flowers, donations in Peter’s memory may be made to Music Mountain or Christ Trinity Lutheran/Episcopal Church in care of the funeral home.

Google and the US government faced off in a federal court on Monday, as each side delivered closing arguments in a case revolving around the technology giant's alleged unfair domination of online advertising. The trial in a Virginia federal court is Google's second US antitrust case now under way as the US government tries to rein in the power of big tech. In a separate trial, a Washington judge ruled that Google's search business is an illegal monopoly, and the US Justice Department is asking that Google sell its Chrome browser business to resolve the case. The latest case, also brought by the Justice Department, focuses on ad technology for the open web -- the complex system determining which online ads people see when they surf the internet. The vast majority of websites use a trio of Google ad software products that together, leave no way for publishers to escape Google's advertising technology, the plaintiffs allege. Publishers -- including News Corp and Gannett publishing -- complain that they are locked into Google's advertising technology in order to run ads on their websites. "Google is once, twice, three times a monopolist," DOJ lawyer Aaron Teitelbaum told the court in closing arguments. Presiding judge Leonie Brinkema has said that she would deliver her opinion swiftly, as early as next month. Whatever Brinkema's judgment, the outcome will almost certainly be appealed, prolonging a process that could go all the way to the US Supreme Court. The government alleges that Google controls the auction-style system that advertisers use to purchase advertising space online. The US lawyers argue that this approach allows Google to charge higher prices to advertisers while sending less revenue to publishers such as news websites, many of which are struggling to stay in business. The US argues that Google used its financial power to acquire potential rivals and corner the ad tech market, leaving advertisers and publishers with no choice but to use its technology. The government wants Google to divest parts of its ad tech business. Google dismissed the allegations as an attempt by the government to pick "winners and losers" in a diverse market. The company argues that the display ads at issue are just a small share of today's ad tech business. Google says the plaintiffs' definition of the market ignores ads that are also placed in search results, apps and social media platforms and where, taken as a whole, Google does not dominate. "The law simply does not support what the plaintiffs are arguing in this case," said Google's lawyer Karen Dunn. She warned that if Google were to lose the case, the winners would be rival tech giants such as Microsoft, Meta or Amazon, whose market share in online advertising is ascendant as Google's share is falling. The DOJ countered that it simply "does not matter" that Google is competing in the broader market for online ads. "That is a different question" than the market for ads on websites that is the target of the case, said Teitelbaum. Google also points to US legal precedent, saying arguments similar to the government's have been refuted in previous antitrust cases. Dunn also warned that forcing Google to work with rivals in its ad products would amount to government central planning that the court should reject. If the judge finds Google to be at fault, a new phase of the trial would decide how the company should comply with that conclusion. And all that could be moot if the incoming Trump administration decides to drop the case. The president-elect has been a critic of Google's, but he warned earlier this month that breaking it up could be "a very dangerous thing." arp/dwReassessing Red Sox rotation after Crochet, Buehler movesEmbedded AI Market Latest Trends, Size, Share, Growth Outlook, Scope, Future Demand, Key Segments and Forecast to 2028 11-25-2024 10:48 PM CET | Business, Economy, Finances, Banking & Insurance Press release from: ABNewswire Google (US), IBM (US), Microsoft (US), AWS (US), NVIDIA (US), Intel (US), Qualcomm (US), Arm (UK), AMD (US), MediaTek (Taiwan), Oracle (US), Salesforce (US), NXP (The Netherlands), Lattice (US), Octonion (Switzerland), NeuroPace (US), Siemens (Germany), H Embedded AI Market by Offering (Hardware, Software, Services), Data Type (Numerical Data, Categorical Data, Image & Video Data), Vertical (Automotive, Manufacturing, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Telecom), and Region - Global Forecast to 2028.
