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.

Weekend transit shutdown cancelled in Montreal as union, STM reach tentative deal

A two-day strike that would have shut down Montreal’s bus and Metro service this weekend was cancelled after the STM and the union representing 4,500 drivers, Metro operators, and station agents reached a last-minute tentative agreement Friday evening. The deal, achieved after seven days of intense negotiations, now awaits ratification by both the STM board and union members. Details remain confidential until approval, but STM leadership says it stays within financial limits and avoids major public disruption—something the new mayor had urged. The strike had been approved earlier in the week after failed attempts at back-to-work legislation, and the union blamed chronic government underfunding for the conflict.

Canada’s curlers become 1st team announced for 2026 Paralympic Winter Games

Fewer than 110 days until the start of the Paralympics in Milan Cortina, wheelchair curler Collinda Joseph feels more confident and free shooting rocks, which are delivered using a stick rather than gliding along the ice.

Four years ago, she was more limited in her role as an alternate at the Beijing Games. Then 56, she appeared in one game, but helped Canada’s mixed team to a second consecutive bronze medal by offering feedback on how rocks were behaving on the ice to boosting her teammates' spirits when they faced adversity.

Joseph had previously competed in her first provincial championship win in 2009 and captured her first Ontario title as a skip in 2016. She first represented Canada in 2019, the first of four world championships.
