Trump complains about Canada — but new data shows spike in U.S. drugs and guns coming north

President Donald Trump claims he's targeting Canada with punishing tariffs on all our goods because he's concerned about the country's supposedly lax approach to fentanyl and migrants.

But new data from the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) shows Canada has a reason to worry about what's pouring in from the U.S.

There's been an influx of illegal American drugs and guns, which experts and law enforcement say are fuelling crime, death and addiction on this side of the border, too.

How a weekly phone call turned into a love story for 2 N.B. seniors

When you drive up to Brenda Trafford's home in Murray Corner, in southeastern New Brunswick, you can see why she'd never want to leave.

It is a unique 12-sided, dodecagon house, with windows on all sides, overlooking the Northumberland Strait and the Confederation Bridge.

It's a special place she shared with her husband, Tom, until he passed away nearly 12 years ago.

Trafford has kept herself busy with friends and family and creating crafts and clothing she sells at a local market.

But when she heard about the Nursing Homes Without Walls program, which matches volunteers with seniors in their communities, she signed up immediately.

Nearly 3,000 drivers ticketed for violating parking ban during Ottawa snowstorm

The City of Ottawa issued nearly 3,000 tickets for violating a winter weather parking ban Thursday, as crews cleared the streets following a snowstorm that dropped more than 30 centimetres of snow on Ottawa.

Roger Chapman, the city's director of bylaw and regulatory services, said in a statement that a total of 2,950 tickets were issued on Thursday. The city's website states that tickets for parking in a way that interferes with snow removal cost $125, with an early payment option of $105. Chapman said the bans are necessary for ensuring that roadways remain clear for essential services, including snow removal, street cleaning, and emergency vehicle access.

Canadian universities, colleges face cash crunch because of student visa cap

Post-secondar institutions across Canada are facing an unprecedented funding shortfall in the wake of the federal government's decision to cap international student visas.

A year ago, the federal government announced a 35-per cent reduction in study permits - bringing the number down to an estimated 360,000 for 2024. It was one of the first major reductions in Canada's permanent and temporary immigration targets. Universities and colleges across the country have had to make tough decisions as a result of the cash crunch, including closing programs and laying off staff.

Veteran at Ottawa raising of Canada's Maple Leaf flag 60 years ago pens heartfelt letter to it

The morning of Feb. 16, 1965, will always remain etched in Canadian veteran Bruce Stock's memory.

The retired major from London, Ont., was in his mid-20s and on Parliament Hill that frigid day, serving as an aide-de-camp to the governor general at the time, Georges Vanier. He was among thousands of Canadians who witnessed the new Maple Leaf flag being hoisted, marking a new era of the country's identity.

"It was so huge that it took a while for it to unfold and [I] always remember that time when we were waiting and then finally this beautiful giant Maple Leaf appeared, and the whole crowd went crazy. I still get chills when I think about it

Alberta government to build 6 schools in Calgary area, 5 in Edmonton

The construction of 11 new schools in Edmonton and the Calgary region will happen through public-private partnerships, the provincial government says.

Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides is set to publicly announce Saturday afternoon that the government will spend money on five new schools in Edmonton, three in Calgary and one each in the cities of Airdrie and Chestermere and the town of Okotoks — three communities near Calgary. Releasing money as soon as construction plans and sites are ready will help prevent projects from potentially losing a construction season, Nicolaides told CBC News earlier this week.

Canadians want to travel local, but why is flying within the country so expensive?

Ransomware, disease and 'ultra low-cost retailers': Why 3 iconic Canadian clothing stores went broke

For three weeks in November and December 2021, iconic Canadian clothing chains Bootlegger, Cleo and Ricki's found themselves paralyzed — staring down the barrel of the "critical holiday season" but prevented by ransomware from moving inventory.

The attack occurred on Nov. 23, but the businesses weren't able to regain access to their internal systems until Dec. 13 — a lag time that forced the 221 affected stores to mount heavy promotions in order to offload the substantial portion of seasonal clothing caught up in the delay.

CBC InvestigatesB.C. claims millions in property transfer taxes at stake in battle over debt-ridden projects
According to court documents filed as part of insolvency proceedings by Winnipeg-based Comark Holdings — the company which owns all three retailers — the "brick and mortar stores lost approximately $8.2 million in revenue due to the cyber incident alone."
