    THE GLOBE AND MAIL 
    ** An investigation of "abuse of dominance" allegations

    ** Royal Bank of Canada  RY.TO  has officially joined the 
ranks of global banks deemed too big to fail. The Financial

    NATIONAL POST 
    ** The fifth round of NAFTA negotiations wrapped up in

demands.  http://bit.ly/2jKW4ql 
     
    ** The Canada Revenue Agency blocked more than half of the 
calls it received from Canadian taxpayers in order to obscure 
the performance results of its customer services division, and

number of callers, according to a report released by the Auditor 
General of Canada. http://bit.ly/2jLSjkI
