The threat of tariffs and lingering economic volatility has prompted the Quebec government to reconsider a pipeline project bringing liquefied natural gas (LNG) from western Canada to the province before shipping it overseas.

Amazon's decision to close all seven of its warehouses in the Canadian province of Quebec and terminate more than 1,900 workers is prompting legal action from the affected union.

A union that represents some Montreal Amazon workers said it will petition a court to compel the company to reopen the warehouses and reverse the job cuts.

The Confédération des syndicats nationaux (CSN) is accusing Amazon of closing its Quebec facilities because workers at its Laval, Que., warehouse unionized. The union is now planning legal action against Amazon and asking Quebecers to boycott the company.
