The deal was agreed on just hours before last night’s strike deadline.

A Canadian icon has finished a near impossible challenge. Double amputee Spencer West spent the last 11 days going 300 kilometres from Edmonton to Calgary, partly on his hands and partly by wheelchair. The point of the journey was to raise money for Free the Children, an organization trying to provide thousands of people in developing countries with clean drinking water. West added that he wants Canadians to understand how far people in those nations have to walk just so they can drink.
