Windsor-Detroit's tunnel bus faces uncertain future as city announces pared-down budget

The tunnel bus, which takes many from Windsor to Detroit to get to events and major sporting games, is facing an uncertain future, as the city tightens its belt going into the 2025 budget process. 

On Friday, Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens presented his draft budget and announced a projected tax increase of 2.99 per cent. That's down from an initial increase of more than 12 per cent. Dilkens said cuts are expected, but he gave no confirmation on Friday whether the tunnel bus would be among the impacted services. The budget does include $1.4 million in cuts to Transit Windsor, but it's unknown what those cuts include.

Trudeau returns to work amid resignation calls

The prime minister paid his respects to a late former U.S. president and later attended a committee meeting focused on the tariff threat from the incoming U.S. president, but Justin Trudeau's return to Ottawa only reignited calls for him to resign.

A growing number of MPs want him to heed the calls to step down. But the prime minister isn't revealing what he'll do even as more rank-and-file members say it's obvious. Trudeau did not speak publicly on Friday and has largely stayed out of view since the stunning resignation of former finance minister Chrystia Freeland.

Small Kootenay communities unite to keep ferries running amid labour dispute

Residents in B.C.'s small Kootenay communities of Glade, Harrop and Procter are celebrating a temporary reprieve in a labour dispute that threatened to drastically reduce cable ferry services vital to their daily lives.

The three communities along the eastern shore of the Kootenay River  — only accessible by cable ferry — were facing the possibility of a 90 per cent reduction in ferry services starting Monday morning. The move would have been part of escalating job action between the B.C. General Employees' Union (BCGEU) and the ferry workers' employer, Western Pacific Marine (WPM).

How adding names to archival images has been healing for people of We'koqma'q First Nation

When Bryan (Fish) Googoo saw a photo of himself as a young boy posted on Facebook back in November, he was surprised.

He had never seen the black-and-white photo of himself as a five or six-year-old, sitting at a school desk, pencil in hand.

He doesn't recall the photo being taken, whether his parents were informed or permission was given.

He does know, however, that his name wasn't attached to the photo — until recently.

"It was being ignored through the years, those photos and what happened," said Googoo, who is a member of We'koqma'q First Nation in Cape Breton.

Trudeau removes himself from the equation, but the math doesn't get much easier

Justin Trudeau announced his decision to resign as prime minister after mounting internal dissent and unease within the Liberal Party made his position untenable. Facing pressure from a majority of MPs in Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada, Trudeau acknowledged he could no longer be the best option for the next election while dealing with internal battles. His resignation creates two challenges: navigating his departure and ensuring a smooth transition for his successor.

Manitoba industry leaders want tariffs to remain 'top of mind' in talks following PM's resignation

The unexpected but long-awaited resignation of Canada's prime minister has ushered in a series of economic questions and uncertainties, including in Manitoba.

Justin Trudeau stepped down as leader of the federal Liberals on Monday, ending a nearly decade-long run as Canada's political leader, and his departure — he will stay on as party leader and prime minister until his successor is chosen — adds a new wrinkle to Canada's response to Donald Trump's tariff threat. Regardless of who becomes the prime minister and what colour their political stripes are, industry leaders in the province want the country's next leader to hear their voices.

Liberals say no changes coming for leadership race, despite risk of foreign interference

The Liberal Party of Canada will be the first federal party to hold a leadership contest since the Hogue Commission on foreign interference revealed meddling by foreign governments in previous races, and there is every reason to expect governments that have sought to meddle in the past will continue to try to influence outcomes.

The Liberal Party told CBC News on Monday that it doesn't intend to change or reinterpret rules in its 2016 constitution that Elections Canada has suggested could make the vote be at least as vulnerable to such efforts as previous leadership races.

That includes allowing international students to vote at a time when the number of people in the country who are neither citizens nor permanent residents has continued to grow, despite sharp cuts in the approval rates of new student visas.

Statistics Canada says there are now more than three million non-permanent residents living in Canada.
