'I'm a problem solver': Meet the mayor whose plan to attract family doctors is turning heads across Canada

When the mayor of Colwood B.C., went for an appointment with his family doctor in 2022, he was in for a rude surprise. The doctor was moving away.

"I was absolutely stunned," Doug Kobayashi said.

Kobayashi, who's been mayor of the city near Victoria since 2022, could have waited for the B.C government to eventually step in with a plan to attract doctors.

Canada recognizes state of Palestine, offers help to build peaceful future with Israel

Canada now officially recognizes the state of Palestine and is doing so with international partners to preserve the prospect of a two-state solution, according to a statement from Prime Minister Mark Carney's office released Sunday morning. "Over many decades, Canada's commitment to [a two-state solution] was premised on the expectation that this outcome would eventually be achieved as part of a negotiated settlement," the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) said.

However, that possibility "has been steadily and gravely eroded" by several developments, including the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack on Israel, the Israeli parliament's resolution supporting annexation of the occupied West Bank and the Israeli government's restrictions on humanitarian aid.

Privacy commissioners find TikTok collected sensitive data from Canadian children

TikTok's tools to keep children off its platform were largely ineffective and the immensely popular social media app was collecting sensitive information from underage users, a joint investigation from Canadian privacy authorities found.

The investigation — launched by the federal privacy commissioner and his counterparts in Quebec, British Columbia and Alberta — looked into the video app's privacy practices as they relate to younger users and whether "valid and meaningful" consent is being obtained for the collection, use and disclosure of personal information. TikTok's terms of service prohibit users under the age of 13 (14 in Quebec) from using the platform.

Saint John plan to ban encampment in some areas gets final approval, with changes

Saint John city council will be moving forward with a revised version of its plan to remove homeless encampments from parts of the city after facing community backlash. Councillors voted in favour of the policy framework for the strategy — which will create encampment "red zones" — at Monday night's council meeting. 

The revisions will aim to relocate encampment residents using a phased case-by-case approach depending on the needs of those living in encampments. It will also see another 27-unit transition housing "green zone" site open a month earlier than planned, in the beginning of November. It will be similar to one which opened in August.

The Liberal government will begin its long-awaited gun buyback program for individuals next month with a pilot project based in Cape Breton, N.S.

Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree announced the pilot program in Ottawa on Tuesday, saying the buyback is voluntary and that "no one is having their weapon confiscated." "We want to be sure everything is working properly before we open the program nationwide later in the fall," Anandasangaree said.

Minister recorded saying police lack resources to enforce gun buyback

Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree suggested recently that an acquaintance shouldn't worry about being arrested for refusing to turn in a banned firearm because municipal police have few resources to devote to such matters.

In an audio recording of a conversation Sunday with the unidentified gun owner, Anandasangaree says the latest phase of a federal firearm buyback program will be announced Tuesday, along with a pilot project in Nova Scotia.

Return-to-office push thwarting plans to off-load office space, government says

Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) says its plan to sell off or lease surplus office space has been derailed in part by the government's push to increase the number of days public servants have to work in the office.

A ministerial transition binder prepared for Minister of Government Transformation, Public Works and Procurement Joël Lightbound says "recent developments" have undermined its goal of off-loading half of its office portfolio by 2034. April 2024's federal budget said reducing the federal office footprint would generate "substantial" savings of $3.9 billion over the next 10 years, and $900 million per year after that.

Audit recommends FSIN review policies after flagging $34M in questionable expenses

The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN) is being advised to review its policies on procurement, hiring, capital assets, accounting practices and expense approvals after a forensic audit of its books flagged $34 million in questionable transactions.

After Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) received allegations about lack of transparency and inappropriate expenditures, the federal department retained consulting firm KPMG last year to conduct the audit. The summary report of the findings was posted online Wednesday afternoon. It contains many details CBC previously reported after FSIN leadership was briefed earlier this month, along with a list of eight recommendations.
