First flu death of the season in Alberta amid warnings about potentially tough months ahead
Alberta has marked the province's first influenza death of this year's flu season, after last year's season proved the deadliest in more than a decade.
The province's respiratory virus dashboard shows a person in their 60s living in the central zone has died due to influenza.
During the 2024-2025 flu season, 237 Albertans died due to influenza, with more than 3,700 people hospitalized.
The timing of this year's first influenza death is on par with what health officials might see in other years, said Dr. James Talbot, Alberta's former chief medical officer of health.
"We're well and truly into the beginning of influenza season," said Talbot.
So far, more than 100 people in Alberta have been hospitalized with influenza this season, with eight patients treated in intensive care.
Some countries have already reported seeing an early start to flu season with increased caseloads, such as the U.K. where the National Health Service warned at the end of October cases were three times higher than the same time the previous year.
Countries across the Southern Hemisphere dealt with a nastier flu season, which Talbot says could also be the case in Canada, where he expects a significant influenza season that would strain the health care system.
"In Alberta, we run our hospitals and our emergency departments at about 100 per cent all the time," said Talbot. "And that means that it doesn't take many respiratory cases — that would include both flu and COVID — to put the emergency departments and hospitals in general under a lot of stress."

Canada's loss of measles-free status a setback, but 'reversible': health official
Canada has lost its measles elimination status after recording over 5,000 cases across nine provinces and one territory since fall 2024, the Public Health Agency of Canada confirmed.

What Democrats gained from the shutdown, and could lose by giving in
Democrats in Congress managed to stand firm against U.S. President Donald Trump long enough to force the lengthiest federal government shutdown in the country's history.
But now that a handful of Democratic senators have agreed to a deal that would end the shutdown, the party risks throwing away some of the political advantage they've gained over the past six weeks.

Durham Regional Police Service ran a 'poisoned' workplace, years-long investigation finds
The Durham Regional Police Service (DRPS) in southern Ontario was a toxic workplace where officials failed to adequately address harassment and management aggressively fought officers seeking mental health support, according to newly released records.
The findings by investigators are included in the Ontario Civilian Police Commission’s (OCPC) report into the workplace culture, policies and procedures of the DRPS and its board. The report and a summary of the document were obtained by CBC News through a freedom of information request.
Investigators substantiated allegations that "a poisoned work environment was created at the DRPS," according to the report. Workplace harassment investigations, though guided by “sound” policies, were marred by bias and shoddy record-keeping, it says.

International nature of B.C. extortion cases makes investigations complex: former RCMP officer
A former RCMP officer says many extortion cases in British Columbia now involve international elements—such as perpetrators or victims living overseas—which complicates enforcement, investigations and extraditions. Cross-border jurisdiction issues, foreign-based threats and global gang links are being cited as key challenges.

Carney unveils major projects he wants fast-tracked, including new mines, LNG and hydro development
Prime Minister Mark Carney on Thursday announced seven more initiatives he's recommending for fast-tracked approval by the government's Major Projects Office (MPO) — including multibillion-dollar energy and natural resources proposals that Ottawa hopes will deliver a jolt to the tariff-hit economy.
Carney said this latest round of projects will help the country become more economically self-sufficient, in the face of U.S. aggression, and a powerhouse player in high-demand critical minerals.
The seven initiatives, combined with the five Carney recommended for approval in September, are worth a combined $116 billion to the economy, according to government figures.

B.C. Attorney General 'deeply disturbed' by social media giant X's intimate image case
B.C. is demanding that X delete a non-consensual intimate image worldwide after the platform only blocked it in Canada, violating the province’s Intimate Images Protection Act. The Civil Resolution Tribunal fined X $100,000 for refusing global removal. X is challenging the order in court, arguing global deletion threatens free speech and international sovereignty. B.C.’s Attorney General says the province will fight the challenge, insisting full global removal is necessary to properly protect survivors.
