Was the “late-night record shop” Steven Page sang of in the Barenaked Ladies megahit Brian Wilson, in fact, the original Sam the Record Man location on Toronto’s Yonge Street?

Rempel Garner said she wants the health care that failed claimants receive restricted to "emergency, life-saving health care only," echoing a similar move by the Harper government in 2012. Refugees in Canada receive health care from the federal government through the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) which covers most of the medical care that Canadians get under their provincial or territorial health services. That is an administrative problem, not a refugee health problem - NDP MP Jenny KwanThe report did not take into account cost-saving measures coming this spring. The IFHP also provides health care to refugee claimants outside of Canada who have been approved but need vaccinations or medical support for their journey. "We have the immigration system under control and we are supplying the health care Canadians need," he said.

An Indigenous Ontario man has swapped a life sentence for 12 years in prison for killing a disabled drug dealer. Morrison’s Indigenous status was considered a mitigating factor by Ontario’s Court of Appeal, as was his guilty plea to manslaughter and his “minimal” criminal record before the robbery gone bad. With the change of convictions, the appeal court reconfigured Morrison’s sentence by ordering him to serve another 14 months behind bars on top of what he’s already served. “Given the time already served, this achieves the effect of a 12-year sentence imposed on the date of the original sentence,” Fairburn said. This finding rested on the trial judge’s factual conclusion that it was Mr. Saboon who shot Mr. Yorke,” Fairburn said.

Subsequent descendants of Canadian citizens were cut off from their birthright because their Canadian parents had also been born abroad. v. Attorney General of Canada, which found the “first-generation limit” to passing on Canadian citizenship unconstitutional, the new legislation may open the door to Canadian citizenship for millions of people descended from Canadians. The descendants will automatically be new citizens, able to obtain proof of Canadian citizenship, rather than having to apply for citizenship. Amandeep Hayer, a Vancouver immigration lawyer and co-author of a book on maintaining permanent residence and obtaining citizenship in Canada, says Canadian citizenship law has had a series of roadblocks to Canadian citizenship. For example, neither married women, nor unmarried men could pass on their Canadian citizenship to their children until citizenship law reforms that passed in 1977.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has warned of “significant” deficits in her upcoming budget on Thursday, with analysts forecasting a shortfall somewhere around $10 billion. St-Arnaud expects 2026-27 budget to hit a deficit just shy of $10 billion, which is loosely in line with other forecasts. After posting budget surpluses every year between 1997 and 2007 on the back of roaring oil prices, Alberta ran straight deficits from 2008 to 2020, with the exception of 2014. Expenses under Smith have ballooned from $60 billion in 2021-22 to $75 billion in the latest budget. St-Arnaud said that the Alberta government’s 2025-26 budget would have required oil prices to average around US$74 per barrel in order to cover costs.
