Council looks to dissolve subcommittee overseeing LRT construction

Ottawa city council is looking at plans to dissolve a subcommittee that oversees LRT construction. The light rail subcommittee was created about a week after Justice William Hourigan released his scathing public inquiry report into the problems surrounding the opening of Line 1.

The subcommittee receives regular updates on the progress of ongoing construction work. It was responsible for overseeing the city's action plan in response to the public inquiry report, though that role wrapped up last year when staff noted that just a few items remained and transit commission could take over that work.

RCMP sending in reinforcements to address rising violence, shooting death in Dawson Creek, B.C.

The B.C. RCMP is once again sending more officers to Dawson Creek, in the province's northeast, following a new spate of violence in the community of roughly 12,400 people.

In the past week there have been at least two high-profile shootings, including a drive-by in a residential neighbourhood and another in a business area that left one dead and another injured. Police say these and other violent incidents appear to be gang-related and that members of several provincial units, including the Uniform Gang Enforcement Team and Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit will be deployed to the city located about 400 kilometres by car north of Prince George, near the B.C.-Alberta border.

Strep throat and ear infection testing now available at some Sask. pharmacies

The new services are part of a provincial pilot project. Eleven Saskatchewan pharmacies have been selected to offer step throat and ear infection assessments through a pilot project with the provincial government. Another 37 were chosen to offer only the ear infection assessments. The pharmacies will also be able to prescribe and dispense medication for those conditions.

The Saskatchewan government announced the project in September 2024, with initial funding of $700,000 for pharmacist training. The training allows for pharmacists to conduct rapid testing for strep throat, providing patients with results in approximately 10 minutes.

Widow to keep $100K from late husband's RRSP after court victory against Canada Revenue Agency

An Alberta widow will be allowed to keep tens of thousands of dollars her late husband left to her in retirement savings after winning a years-long court battle against the Canada Revenue Agency.
The ruling Tuesday said Marlene Enns is exempt from a clause in Canadian tax law that gives the tax agency power to collect unpaid tax debts from spouses or common-law partners in certain cases because, under law, her marriage ended the moment her husband died.

Police struggling to keep pace with cryptocurrency fraudsters

Ottawa police say they're receiving daily reports of cryptocurrency fraud from victims who have been swindled out of their savings and investments, with very little chance of getting their money back. The largest loss to date involved a victim who was bilked of $2 million, police said.

Acting Sgt. Alex Wolf, a detective in the Ottawa Police Service's organized fraud unit, said the reported cases likely represent only a fraction of the fraud that's occurring. Wolf said victims come from a wide range of backgrounds, but fraudsters appear to be targeting one group in particular.

"Financially paralyzed: Half of Canadians living bill-to-bill, poll finds

More than half of Canadians are feeling "financially paralyzed" amid the surging cost of living, according to a new poll.

Fifty-five per cent of Canadians used that language to describe their finances, according to the survey commissioned by the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC). Nearly half (48 per cent) added they could no longer afford to maintain their standard of living, while nearly a third (29 per cent) said their finances were in a constant state of chaos.

More underweighted meat uncovered as big grocers hit with class action lawsuit

After Deborah Eakins read the recent CBC News investigation about Loblaw, Sobeys and Walmart grocery stores overcharging customers by selling underweighted meat, she weighed her ground beef.

To her surprise, the meat, bought at Sobeys-owned Pete's Frootique in the Halifax area, appeared to have been weighed with the hard plastic packaging.

CBC News purchased three packages of ground beef from the same store and got the same results. The calculated overcharge was $1.23 — six per cent on the $21.29 bill.

Trudeau pulled the Liberals left. Where do they go from here?

When Chrystia Freeland proposed raising taxes on capital gains last April, she pitched the change — and related promises to invest in dental care, school food programs and housing — in starkly moral terms.

"Before they complain too bitterly, I would like Canada's one per cent — Canada's 0.1 per cent — to consider this: What kind of Canada do you want to live in?" she asked in what would turn out to be her last budget speech. "Do you want to live in a country where those at the very top live lives of luxury — but must do so in gated communities, behind ever higher fences, using private health care and airplanes, because the public sphere is so degraded and the wrath of the vast majority of their less privileged compatriots burns so hot?"

Eight months later, Freeland has apparently decided that increasing the inclusion rate for capital gains is not strictly necessary to stave off societal collapse.

Canadian authors warn readers that AI dupes of their books are popping up on Amazon

Catherine Tsalikis was checking Amazon to see how the launch was going for her new biography of Chrystia Freeland. She noticed something odd: a book right below hers that was a shadow of the real thing. The cover had a similar title, an image of a Freeland lookalike, and the author shared Tsalikis' first name.
