RCMP investigate N.L. Crown prosecutor, seize guns from his homeNewsDuration 1:58A Crown prosecutor in Newfoundland and Labrador is being investigated by the RCMP. According to a police affidavit, federal charges are pending against Lee Ballett. As Ariana Kelland reports, the Mounties have seized guns and ammunition from his home in St. John’s.
The report comes after the federal government’s internal 2021 scorecard, revealing the topline totals from the analysis, was leaked to Radio-Canada in the fall. That document shows the American F-35 blowing the Swedish Gripen out of the water, with the F-35 scoring 95 per cent on overall military capabilities while the Gripen scored just 33 per cent. “We can confirm that Saab met or exceeded all of the stringent requirements for capability, interoperability and security set out in the Canadian fighter evaluation in 2021,” Fullerton said in an emailed statement. Alex McColl, who wrote his 2018 master’s thesis calling for Canada to buy a Gripen fleet, said the partial leak of the scoring doesn’t tell the full story. The Conservatives want the Carney government to push ahead with the full F-35 fleet order, while the NDP has argued for scrapping the contract entirely and opting for the Saab jets.
We want to know what consumer protection questions you have for the federal government(David Abrahams/CBC)Next week, the live taping of Marketplace's season finale will take place. Experts and advocates have told us consumer protection in Canada is confusing and fragmented between federal and provincial governments, and that competition is weak.

Prime Minister Mark Carney made “a terrible mistake” with his immediate full-throated support of U.S. President Donald Trump’s war of choice in Iran, Canadian historian and security-intelligence expert Wesley Wark said yesterday.

Lest readers have not heard of him, Dr. Wark is not some naive peacenik. A professor, author and former advisor to the public safety minister on national security policy, he has served on the Canadian Advisory Council on National Security and the advisory council to the Canada Border Services Agency. “It seems we still struggle to unhook ourselves from thought and policy dependency on the United States, despite a brave speech in Davos,” Dr. Wark observed.
TLDRThe Town of Gibbons in central Alberta faces an uncertain future due to a multimillion-dollar financial crisis, potentially leading to insolvency. The town's mayor and council have acknowledged the severity of the situation, which has resulted from years of poor financial decisions. The Alberta government has appointed an official administrator to oversee the municipality's governance and finances. Efforts are underway to address the crisis, including discussions with the Alberta Ministry of Municipal Affairs, layoffs, and the exploration of service transfers to Sturgeon County. A viability review will examine the town's governance and financial state, with potential outcomes including downgrading its status to a hamlet.

"People, especially women, are prioritizing their education, careers and personal growth over settling down, which means they are marrying later." Singlehood is "absolutely" on the rise, says Geoff MacDonald, a professor of psychology who studies the well-being of singles at the University of Toronto. Justin Frost says high expectations among women and unrealistic standards pushed by social media have put a 'dark cloud' over dating. It will have an impact on housing because they need smaller housing, cheaper housing, because these days housing is supported by two people, not one." For Bow, she says she will continue to spread the word on the benefits of singlehood through her content on social media.
Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Tim Hodgson says Canada could eventually export 100 million tonnes of LNG per year. The country's first and only export terminal, LNG Canada, began operating in June in Kitimat, B.C. Another five million tonnes could be added through the Woodfibre and Cedar LNG projects, both also under construction in B.C. According to the International Institute for Sustainable Development, LNG Canada Phase 1 burns natural gas to power equipment. The LNG Canada export terminal in Kitimat's next phase was referred to the new federal Major Projects Office.
Region roiled as Iran responds to U.S., Israeli strikesThe U.S. and Israel launched a major attack on Iran on Saturday, with Tehran retaliating by firing missiles and drones toward Israel and U.S. military bases in the region. United States, Israel seek regime change in Iran
Earlier, Iran fired missiles at targets in Israel and Gulf Arab states in retaliation, while Israel pledged "non-stop" strikes against Iran's leaders and military. In the 12-day war in June, Israeli and American strikes greatly weakened Iran's air defences, military leadership and nuclear program. Araghchi, Iran's foreign affairs minister, blamed such strikes on the U.S. and Israel for starting the war. Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said on Sunday that Israel will have "a non-stop air train" of strikes against military and leadership targets in Iran. Some Iranians celebrate indoors, in carsAs supreme leader, Khamenei had the final say on all major policies since 1989.
The family said hospital staff blamed the confusion on the new records system. One Person One Record issuesDoctors and nurses have expressed concerns about the rollout of Nova Scotia's $365-million electronic medical records system, including delays and inaccuracies. Horne's boyfriend and the baby's father, William Biso, told Mainstreet it was frustrating trying to find out what was happening. She told Mainstreet nobody from the hospital contacted her daughter's family doctor about the death. "We did not get a phone call, an email, a letter in the mail — nothing saying that was rescheduled," she told Mainstreet.
New research using drug-checking results could provide an insight into why toxic drug death tolls have been on a downward trend for two years now in B.C. But scientists and officials say there are likely multiple factors behind exactly why the number of drug-related deaths in B.C. The drug supply is still as toxic and unpredictable as ever, if not more so," said Samuel Tobias, a researcher at the B.C. Advertisement AdvertisementAdvertisement AdvertisementThe research found that the samples at drug checking sites became less concentrated in fentanyl over the years, which was associated with a drop in toxic drug deaths. 'Many lives were lost'Tobias notes, however, that lowered fentanyl concentration alone isn't the sole factor behind the provincewide, and continent-wide, drop in toxic drug deaths.
