NDP sending mixed signals on whether it will vote non-confidence in the Trudeau government

The NDP's stance on triggering an early election remains unclear following Chrystia Freeland's resignation from the Trudeau cabinet. Initially, NDP House Leader Peter Julian suggested the party would support a non-confidence vote if Prime Minister Justin Trudeau didn't step down by early 2025. However, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh later avoided committing to a definitive course of action, emphasizing the need to assess future circumstances, including potential U.S. tariffs under President-elect Donald Trump. While Singh called for Trudeau’s resignation after Freeland's departure, he has stated that the NDP will decide their position when a non-confidence motion is formally presented.

Police chief vows to fix 'fractured' relationship with Somali community after Abdi inquest

Ottawa's police chief says rebuilding the service's "fractured" relationship with the city's Somali community is a top priority following the conclusion of a coroner's inquest into the death of Abdirahman Abdi.

Abdi, 38, died in hospital the day after his violent arrest by Ottawa police officers outside his Hintonburg apartment building in July 2016. He had been struggling with his mental health. Abdi's death automatically triggered the inquest, and on Tuesday the jury declared it a homicide and issued several recommendations aimed at preventing similar fatalities.

While many Canadians see U.S. president-elect Donald
Trump's constant trolling of Canada as the '51st state' as little more than a joke, a recent poll shows some 13 per cent of Canadians would welcome joining the United States.

Federal government to remove incentive for foreign workers to reduce fraud in immigration system

The federal government will no longer be granting additional points toward permanent residence to some temporary foreign workers, less than two months after an undercover CBC News and Investigative Journalism Foundation (IJF) investigation revealed how easy it is to buy and sell these jobs online.

On Tuesday, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Marc Miller announced that applicants to the Express Entry program will no longer receive 50 or 200 additional points for working in a position supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) — a move that one immigration lawyer described as "drastic" but expected.

Ottawa resumes funding for bottled water in First Nation under state of emergency

Marten Falls First Nation in Ontario, under a boil-water advisory for 19 years, declared a state of emergency following a sewage spill on December 13. The federal government has resumed funding for bottled water to address immediate needs while working on long-term solutions, including a new pump and preventive measures. Chief Bruce Achneepineskum stated that the community’s 30-year-old wastewater lift system is outdated and undersized, with raw sewage now contaminating local waterways.

Quebec accused of catering to logging industry as it reviews how forests are managed

Quebec's boreal forest — twice the size of France — is a vast expanse of wilderness rich in biodiversity that can lock up huge amounts of climate-warming carbon dioxide.

It is also an economic driver for dozens of small communities.

With plant closures, job losses and the looming possibility of U.S. tariffs, Quebec's forestry sector is under strain — and the province is trying to make changes to support it.

Taylor brand oysters distributed in 3 provinces recalled over possible norovirus contamination

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has recalled certain Fanny Bay, Sunseeker, and Cloudy Bay oysters from the Taylor Shellfish Canada brand due to possible norovirus contamination. The affected oysters, distributed in British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario, were harvested and processed primarily in early December, with some harvested as early as November 27. Consumers are advised to discard or return the products and seek medical care if experiencing norovirus symptoms, such as vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, and stomach cramps. While most recover within a few days, severe cases may require hospitalization.

Sask. Grade 12 student's affordable braille device receives national accolades

A Grade 12 student at Walter Murray Collegiate in Saskatoon is being recognized for creating an innovative device to help blind and deaf people communicate. Joti Gokeraju said he was inspired after visiting his grandfather in India. "My grandpa is a very jovial person. He likes to call a lot and talk to us a lot. But when I went there, I was surprised to see him not as talkative, and I found out it was because he was slowly losing his hearing," Gokeraju said.

The prototype for his braille device was more cost-effective than other devices on the market — the display costs $99 instead of several thousand. Gokeraju has already won an engineering innovation award and a gold medal at a national science fair for his work. He said he's happy to be recognized, but the project out there is more important to him.

Sawmill closure hits Maniwaki hard

Uncertainty looms in Maniwaki, Que., as a Resolute Forest Products sawmill begins a temporary closure, leaving hundreds out of work and raising fears of spin-off impacts on the local economy.

The pulp and paper company's decision will put 280 workers out of a job during the holiday season. Union officials say the closure is expected to last at least six months. Several forestry plants in the region have shut down in the past year. A Commonwealth Plywood plant in Rapide-des-Joachims also announced this week that 23 workers would lose their jobs. All told, nine plants have closed across Quebec since April.

With overthrow of Assad regime, Syrian Canadian recalls 20 years of 'torment' inside its prisons

Nabil Hawara painfully remembers the endless cycle of torture that he endured in one of Syria's most notorious prisons.

For 20 years, from 1975 to 1995, he says he lived in constant fear of death and torment — from being beaten with iron bars and whips each day to guards urinating in food bowls or jumping on his back, ultimately rupturing a lung.

Hawara, who didn't know if he would ever make it out alive from the four walls of his cell in Tadmur Military Prison in Palmyra, in the deserts of eastern Syria, ultimately fled the country for Canada as a refugee.

Drug precursors the new 'primary threat' entering Canada as fentanyl imports drop

With criminal networks shifting to domestic production of fentanyl and other opioids, the focus of law enforcement at Canada's borders has now shifted to the chemicals used to make the deadly drugs.

The Public Health Agency of Canada estimates that more than 47,000 Canadians have died of toxic drug overdoses since 2016. Four out of every five of accidental overdose deaths recorded this year in Canada involved fentanyl. Since then, organized crime groups have focused on importing and smuggling the chemicals that go into making fentanyl and other opioids — known as precursors — into Canada.

RCMP says they couldn't stop migrants crossing from the US "even if we were everywhere"

Six concrete blocks mark the end of a rural road at the U.S.-Canada border.

The barriers, installed last August in a joint venture with President Joe Biden's administration, stop vehicles with migrants from crossing the border into the United States, but not those on foot.

Just days after Gaganjeet Singh urged Montreal police to step up patrols on de Liège Street, where his jewelry store is located, his worst fears came true.

Around 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, a car plowed into Famous Jewellers in Montreal's Parc-Extension neighbourhood and a group of thieves made off with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of merchandise. Singh was injured during the incident as he tried to fend off the robbers.

Police say they believe the car crash was deliberate to facilitate the robbery. They responded to the scene after the store's alarm went off.
