Snowbirds must soon submit fingerprints for U.S. travel under new Homeland Security rules

Starting April 11, Canadians and other foreign nationals staying in the U.S. for 30 days or longer will need to register and provide fingerprints to the Department of Homeland Security. This requirement stems from a January 20 executive order. Unlike previous exemptions for Canadians, citizenship will not exclude travelers, including snowbirds, from the new regulations. Global Affairs Canada is monitoring the situation, which comes amid ongoing economic tensions caused by President Donald Trump's tariff threats.

3 die on Victoria streets little more than an hour apart as Island Health issues drug toxicity warning

Three people died a little over an hour apart in Victoria on Monday, Victoria police and the B.C. Coroners Service have confirmed. 

An outreach worker says the city's enforcement of anti-sheltering bylaws has made it more difficult for support workers to help those struggling on downtown streets and blames their deaths on drug overdoses. The B.C. Coroners Service says a man also died in downtown Victoria on March 8 and that the cause of all four deaths is still under investigation.

Ontario developer accused of extracting $18M from home buyers

An Ontario developer is accused of coercing 142 purchasers of pre-construction projects to pay more money for the same homes they purchased up to two years earlier — claims that are now the subject of a disciplinary committee hearing referred by the province's regulatory authority.

According to a statement of allegations listed on the Home Construction Regulatory Authority (HCRA) website, purchasers were told by Briarwood Development Group that they'd have to sign a release forfeiting their homes if they didn't agree to pay the additional amounts. It's alleged the company extracted more than $18 million from the buyers.

The allegations centre around pre-construction homes in the Ontario communities of Stayner, Angus, Quinte West and Georgina. The claims are that Briarwood demanded increases that ranged from $16,000 for an Angus project home to $320,000 for a Stayner project home.

Carney to move key carbon tax defender to new cabinet role: source

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault will be given a new portfolio in Mark Carney's cabinet, a source with knowledge of the decision told Radio-Canada.

The Montreal MP and former Greenpeace activist, who has held the portfolio since 2021, will instead be responsible for various files, said the source, who was not authorized to speak on the record.

However, he will no longer be the face of the fight against climate change.

Guilbeault learned the news earlier this week, the source said.

Canada's next prime minister appears intent on marking a clear break with the Trudeau-era consumer carbon tax, a policy Guilbeault, until recently, aggressively defended. That made him a polarizing minister in parts of the country, and he often faced off against Alberta Premier Danielle Smith.

Carney, once a proponent of carbon pricing, campaigned on dropping the carbon tax and repeated the promise in his acceptance speech Monday.

Mother of Edmonton homicide victim feels blindsided as accused killer granted bail

The mother of an Edmonton woman killed last September says she was blindsided to learn the man accused in her daughter's homicide has been granted bail.

Collin Boucher-Gionet, 34, charged with second-degree murder and indignity to human remains in the death of his girlfriend Aylissa Rovere, has been granted release on house arrest.

Boucher-Gionet has a criminal history with the courts and was on probation at the time of the alleged killing.

Rovere's mother, Jodi Dunn, said she can't fathom why Boucher-Gionet has been granted additional freedoms.

"He's up for murder and to release someone like him, who has been in trouble before, it's just another slap on the wrist," Dunn said. "It doesn't make sense."

How COVID changed Canadians, their health and the future

Five years ago this week, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic, warning that the situation would worsen for countries around the world.

"We expect to see the number of cases, the number of deaths, and the number of affected countries climb even higher," WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at the time.

Canada had already reported 1,360 cases by March 12, 2020. In a matter of days, governments closed schools and told travellers to self-isolate, the House of Commons shut down and borders were closed to most travellers.

Five years later, COVID-19 is in the rear-view mirror for most Canadians. Yet its effects live on, and they continue to have an impact on the health of Canadians. Here's how.
