Sammy Kogan/The Canadian PressPublic-market investors don’t seem to get Patrick Dovigi. The founder and chief executive officer of GFL Environmental Inc. GFL-T is listening to offers from private-equity suitors after last summer’s sharp sell-off in shares of the country’s largest waste-disposal company.

Boeing in July opened a new line at the Everett plant to expand 737 MAX production, which it also assembles in Renton. Boeing referred questions to the FAA, which did not immediately comment.
