AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoTransit Upgrade: B.C. Transit riders in Greater Victoria (and across most of the province) can now pay bus fares by tapping credit cards, debit cards, or smartphone wallets—an upgrade that took about three years to roll out after Umo’s first Victoria-area trials in 2023, with contactless already used by 18% of riders and tested in Whistler 12 weeks ago. Last-Mile Growth: UniUni (Uni Express) is set to go public in a roughly US$1B deal, combining with MAK Acquisition to create New UniUni, betting on contract drivers plus routing tech to keep parcels moving fast across Canada. Public Safety Pressure: Halton police say Project Cyprus has produced the largest firearm seizure in their history—24 handguns plus drugs, cash and crypto—while warning most crime guns traced back to the U.S. Inflation Watch: Manitoba’s inflation hit the highest in Canada over the past year, driven by food costs and steep property tax increases. Aviation Milestone: The Snowbirds’ current CT-114 Tutor fleet will be retired after this summer, with new CT-157 Siskin II planes arriving in the early 2030s.
