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.

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.

Few saw her potential. Now she's setting records on the basketball court

When Kiyara Letlow started playing basketball eight years ago, she was far from the best player on the court.

While the Toronto native grew up playing other sports such as volleyball and soccer, basketball didn't come naturally.

"All of a sudden, I wasn't the best or the biggest or the fastest or the strongest anymore … it was hard to deal with," said the 22-year-old forward who plays for Cape Breton University in Sydney, N.S. "I contemplated quitting a couple times."

Ontario PCs hoping early election brings about 'strong mandate' to deal with Trump

The start of Donald Trump's second term as president of the United States was a driving force behind Ontario Premier Doug Ford's decision to call an early election, a member of the premier's cabinet says. Premier Doug Ford said Friday that he plans to call an early provincial election on Wednesday, which would mean Ontarians will head to the polls on Feb. 27.

The election call would come less than two weeks after Donald Trump was sworn in for his second term as president of the United States. During Trump's campaign, and since his inauguration, he's repeatedly spoke about plans to impose a 25 per cent tariff on Canadian goods, which could take effect as soon as Feb. 1.
