Trudeau to fill Senate vacancies before retiring: source

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is planning a final wave of appointments to fill the 10 vacancies in the Senate before he retires in March, Radio-Canada has learned.

The move would allow him to leave a mark on Parliament for years to come, as these unelected legislators will be able to sit until the age of 75.

A source familiar with the matter says that the selection process for the future senators is already underway and should be completed before his departure. After proroguing Parliament earlier this month, Trudeau announced that he will leave power after the Liberal Party chooses a new leader on March 9.

At federal inquiry, Canada Post blames workers leaving early and union points to mismanagement

Hearings began Monday at an industrial inquiry commission in Ottawa to examine Canada Post's financial situation, business model, and workplace practices. Canada Post management blamed its challenges on delivery staff leaving early, while the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) argued the problems result from poor financial management. The two sides remain deeply divided following a four-week strike during the holiday season, with negotiations breaking down again on January 17. The commission will produce a report in May.

Bars and restaurants gird themselves for looming booze battle

Bars and restaurants in Ottawa are gearing up for a cross-border booze battle. Ontario Premier Doug Ford said last week he'll ban the sale of American liquor and wine at LCBO stores if the U.S. follows through with President Donald Trump's 25 per cent tariff threat.

"I have sent a direction to the LCBO, if these tariffs come, to clear off every bit of U.S. alcohol off the shelves," Ford said last week. "Let's start promoting more Ontario-made wines and the vodkas and spirits."

Poilievre says Canada should "deport" any temporary resident committing violence or hate crimes

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said, "Canadians need to continue to support the Jewish people," while speaking at the Holocaust commemoration ceremony in Ottawa on Monday. He added that "woke ideology" is guiding antisemitism in Canada, which has led to an explosion in hate crimes.

"We must not just condemn these things. We must take action against them. We must deport from our country any temporary resident that is here on a permit or a visa that is carrying out violence or hate crimes on our soil," Poilievre said.

Montreal public library says it can't host English book club, citing Quebec's new language law

Montreal writer Christopher DiRaddo was denied permission to hold his monthly Violet Hour Book Club, focused on 2SLGBTQ+ literature, at a public library due to Quebec's new language law, Bill 96. Although the book club discusses both French and English books, its conversations are held in English. The Père-Ambroise library cited the law, which requires activities to be conducted primarily in French and mandates translation for English conversations. While the library offered alternative suggestions, DiRaddo expressed disappointment, saying the decision creates barriers instead of fostering inclusivity.

Trump team threatens two phases of tariffs on Canada

The U.S. is threatening a two-stage tariff plan in which Canada and Mexico could get hit with initial trade penalties within days then face broader penalties this spring.

In summary it's: Maybe tariffs now, and maybe more tariffs later.

The details emerged Wednesday at the U.S. Senate confirmation hearing for the person chosen to lead President Donald Trump's tariff policy, Howard Lutnick.

It occurred as Canadian officials engaged in frantic last-ditch efforts to dissuade U.S. officials from imposing tariffs as threatened by Feb. 1, even producing a video demonstrating Canada's border enforcement.

The nominee for commerce secretary laid out that two-step approach in an exchange with Michigan Sen. Gary Peters, who expressed fear about what a cross-border trade war could mean for his state.

Jasper wildfire damage now estimated at $1.23B — and could go higher, insurance industry says

The cost of wildfire damage in Jasper, Alberta, has risen to $1.23 billion, making it Canada's second-costliest fire event after the 2016 Fort McMurray wildfires. The Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) attributes the increased costs to Jasper’s remote location, which makes debris removal more expensive. The wildfire, which occurred in July 2024, destroyed one-third of the town's structures. Debris from 358 buildings must be tested for toxins like asbestos, adding to the costs. While some waste is sent to a landfill 75 km away, other materials must be transported as far as Edmonton, 365 km east.

Ottawa police assign youth officers to city's school districts

The Ottawa Police Service (OPS) is returning to city schools with a revised approach, assigning officers to support educators without being stationed inside buildings. Four officers from the Community Youth Unit are now assigned to the city's four school districts — east, south, central, and west — ensuring each district has a dedicated officer for school engagement. "What that means, really, is improving the efficiency of how we provide a service to our schools, whether it be proactive work, which means presentations, lockdown practices," OPS Staff Sergeant Fernando Vieira said. Teachers will be able to call their assigned youth officer directly, allowing for faster consultation.

Wanted for murder in Missouri and Mexico, police say 'Pistol Packin' Mama' hid in Alberta for decades

Fifty-five years after Missouri murderer Sharon Kinne escaped from a Mexican prison, American authorities confirm the fugitive hid for decades in a small Alberta town.

On Thursday, Jackson County Sheriffs confirmed that Kinne, who was linked to three murders in two countries, had been hiding out three hours south of Calgary, in the town of Taber, for 49 years until her death in 2022 at the age of 81.

Kinne had been living under the name Diedra (Dee) Glabus in the sleepy prairie town of about 9,000 residents, best known for its corn crop.

It's unclear if anyone in the town knew she was a fugitive, on the run from both Mexican and Missouri police. Or if they just knew Glabus as a bridge-playing local realtor and volunteer.

Alberta cuts funding to gambling support group, eyes private online betting

Alberta's government has ended a funding contract for a non-profit organization that provides education and resources for gambling addiction.

Ray Reshke, executive director of the Edmonton-based Problem Gambling Resources Network, says without the funding the organization will likely have to shut its doors. He said the network has had a government funding agreement of some sort since 1993. Earlier this month, he said he was told the government was ending its three-year contract and pulling the nearly $130,000 it provided annually.
