Western Quebec municipalities vote overwhelmingly against graphite mine

People living in five municipalities in western Quebec have overwhelmingly voted against a proposed graphite mine in the area in a referendum held Sunday. B.C.-based Lomiko Metals wanted to mine graphite around Lac Bélanger just west of Duhamel, Que., about 80 kilometres northeast of Gatineau. The area has a combined population of nearly 6,000.

The municipalities of Duhamel and Lac-Simon showed the strongest opposition this weekend, with 98 per cent of voters casting ballots against the project. In the municipalities of Lac-des-Plages, St-Émile-de-Suffolk, and Chénéville, more than 90 per cent of voters also said no to the mine.

Canadians Report Never Reaching CRA Agents as Call-Centre Crisis Deepens

Many Canadians say they are no longer able to get through to a live agent at the Canada Revenue Agency—some even reporting “no queue available” options when calling, sparking concerns as staffing cuts loom. Meanwhile, the CRA’s published response methods emphasize automated services: when wait times exceed 30 minutes, calls are redirected, and service agents handle only a fraction of the roughly 253,000 daily calls received—adding to frustrations.

James Bowie gets 4 years imprisonment for threatening ex-client, extortion, harassment

James Bowie — the suspended Ottawa criminal defence lawyer convicted of death threats, criminal harassment and extortion involving an ex-client and a former close friend — was sentenced to four years' imprisonment Tuesday morning for his crimes.

Bowie was also ordered to submit his DNA for a national databank, and is barred from possessing weapons for 10 years after his release. His offences were part of a "desperate" and "unhinged" plot to clear his name, court heard during his trial. They happened after the ex-client, Leanne Aubin, went public in late 2022 with the allegation that Bowie tried to extort her for sex in exchange for his legal services.

Death of 7-year-old Granby, Que., girl a 'particularly heinous tragedy,' coroner says

A Quebec coroner’s report on the 2019 death of a seven-year-old Granby girl found that systemic failures by youth protection, schools, and health services—working in silos—left her unprotected despite years of warning signs. The child, who had been followed by youth protection since birth, was forcibly confined and malnourished before her death. Her father received a 3.5-year sentence, while her stepmother was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to life. Coroner Géhane Kamel issued a dozen recommendations, stressing that the tragedy highlights how Quebec must reconsider the place it gives to children, calling aspects of the case “unbearable.”

Poilievre 'playing politics' by targeting temporary foreign workers, U of Regina prof says

A University of Regina professor says Pierre Poilievre's call to scrap the temporary foreign worker program is playing on the sentiments of a growing anti-immigrant narrative in the country and is not based on evidence.

On Wednesday, the Conservative leader called on the federal Liberal government to axe the program, saying it floods the market with cheap labour and makes it harder for young Canadians to find work.

Canada's youth unemployment at "recession" level as Poilievre points at temporary foreign workers

Canada's youth unemployment crisis is worse than it looks and teens are the hardest hit, a new report by Desjardins says, noting it is now at a level normally seen "during a recession."

The report says Canada's youth unemployment has worsened since 2022, with overall youth unemployment rising from 10 per cent in 2022 to 14 per cent in mid-2025. Nearly one in five Canadian teens want to work but cannot find any jobs, the report noted. It added that young adults, aged 20 to 24, also saw a mild increase in unemployment over the three-year period, from nine per cent to 11 per cent.
