Dr. Oz wants to take B.C. ostriches facing cull order — but scientists question his claims

U.S. TV personality and federal health official Dr. Mehmet Oz has reiterated an offer to house hundreds of B.C. ostriches facing a cull order, claiming the birds are scientifically unique.

Over 400 birds at Universal Ostrich farm in Edgewood, B.C., have been ordered culled by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) after highly pathogenic avian flu was detected on the farm last December.

The order has survived multiple court challenges by the farm and has attracted attention from U.S. officials like Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as well as questions from dedicated supporters over whether the Canadian government was overreaching with the cull order.

Source of deadly legionnaires' outbreak in London, Ont., is ID'd as more become sick

Health officials in London, Ontario, have traced a persistent legionnaires’ disease outbreak — which has killed four people and hospitalized over 90 — to Sofina Foods Inc., a large meat-processing plant. The Middlesex-London Health Unit confirmed the bacterial subtype from the plant matched the strain causing the outbreak. Since July, cases have been reported within a six-kilometre radius, with contaminated cooling towers also detected at multiple sites, including Victoria Hospital. The outbreak recently grew with 25 new cases after authorities initially thought it was over.

Canada narrows choices for new submarines to German and South Korean bidders

As he delivered the hard sell pitch last spring for Canada to buy his submarines, Oliver Burkhard, the CEO of Germany's ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS), used the phrase "strategic partnership" half a dozen times.

Canada would be part of "a family," he said.

We will — perhaps — soon get a better sense whether that approach is music to the ears of Prime Minister Mark Carney and key members of his cabinet.

South Nation Conservation Authority declares critically low water levels

The South Nation Conservation Authority (SNCA) has declared a Level 3 low water advisory — the most serious advisory it issues — for its jurisdiction in eastern Ontario, including parts of Ottawa.

"Level 3 conditions indicate that water supply no longer meets demand in certain regions and ongoing drought conditions are putting increased pressure on surface and groundwater supplies," the authority wrote in a news release Tuesday. It asked that residents reduce their water consumption and stop using water when not absolutely necessary.

Canada signs critical minerals deal with Germany, narrows down new submarine suppliers

Prime Minister Mark Carney arrived in Germany late Monday and has signed a critical minerals partnership with Germany that encourages the joint public financing of natural resources projects as Ottawa works to boost development and exports to Europe.

Additionally, Canada has narrowed down its shopping list for its next fleet of submarines to those made by two suppliers: Germany's ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems and South Korea's Hanwha Ocean Co. Ottawa plans to replace the Royal Canadian Navy's current fleet of four Victoria-class submarines over the next decade with up to 12 new subs.

Intruder in Lindsay, Ont., break-in used a crossbow, court documents say

The Lindsay, Ont., man charged in an early-morning break-in last week wielded a crossbow in the incident and was out on probation at the time, according to court documents filed Wednesday.

The violent episode on Aug. 18 — which led to charges laid against both the alleged intruder, Michael Kyle Breen, and the home's resident, Jeremy David McDonald — set off a cross-Canada debate over what constitutes legal self-defence.

According to a charge sheet, Breen, 41, destroyed a window and screen at McDonald's home in Lindsay, part of the city of Kawartha Lakes, in Ontario cottage country. Breen is charged with four counts, including break-and-enter and carrying a weapon — the crossbow — to commit an offence.

'Relationship building' major impetus for end of hybrid work, city manager says

Ottawa's city manager says improving workplace culture was the key driver behind a decision to end hybrid work for municipal employees, amid criticism from the union and some city councillors who say the decision was "politically motived."

City manager Wendy Stephanson announced the move Tuesday in a memo to Mayor Mark Sutcliffe and council. The change will require all municipal employees to work five days a week in the office as of Jan. 1, 2026. It comes a week after Premier Doug Ford ordered provincial government workers back to the office full-time by January, and encouraged municipalities to do the same.

Quebec Considers Banning Public Prayer to Strengthen Secularism

Quebec Premier François Legault is exploring legislation that could prohibit public prayer in spaces like parks and streets—a move seen as bolstering the province’s secularism laws including Bill 21. He even raised the possibility of invoking the notwithstanding clause to bypass constitutional challenges. The proposal has sparked strong opposition: Catholic bishops warn it infringes on fundamental freedoms, legal experts say it’s unconstitutional, and critics argue that banning public prayer risks marginalizing religious communities and undermining civil rights.

Quebec plans to table bill banning prayer in public

Quebec’s government plans to introduce a bill this fall banning public prayer as part of its broader push to reinforce secularism, Secularism Minister Jean-François Roberge announced. Premier François Legault said street or park prayers should not be allowed, framing the move as a clear message to Islamists. While details of the legislation are unclear, Legault has not ruled out invoking the notwithstanding clause. The move follows other secularism measures, including expanding the religious symbols law, amid declining poll numbers and recent electoral setbacks for Legault’s Coalition Avenir Québec government.

Zellers returns — again — this time starting in Edmonton

A new incarnation of Zellers is set to open in Edmonton's Londonderry Mall, after the defunct Hudson's Bay Company transferred the discount retailer's brand trademarks to the owner of Fairweather and International Clothiers, according to federal registries.

Per the operator of the north Edmonton shopping centre, the former Hudson's Bay location will be opening as a Zellers with a soft launch on Friday, Aug. 29.

Zavriyev said his understanding is the store will sell household goods, along with clothing for men, women and children.

'Vicious compliance': Alberta premier decries Edmonton Public Schools' banned book list

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith slammed the Edmonton Public School Board Friday morning for its banned book list, which features more than 200 titles.

The internally distributed list, which CBC News obtained Thursday, was in response to a provincial government directive to identify books that are not age-appropriate and remove them from school library shelves. But the list included titles like The Handmaid's Tale, The Color Purple, The Godfather and Jaws. Books from authors like George R. R. Martin, Sarah J. Maas and Maya Angelou are also on the list.
