More than half of provinces and territories reject role in federal gun 'buyback'
OTTAWA — Police and political leaders in more than half of Canada have so far rejected taking any part in the federal government’s firearms compensation program. Robert Gauvin, its provincial public safety minister, also said in a previous statement that it declined to enter into an agreement with the federal public safety department to assist, calling on the federal government to develop a plan for collection that does not impact police officers. Federal officials say it has the ability to roll out the program in every jurisdiction, save for Saskatchewan and Alberta. Federal Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree confirmed on Tuesday that the Sûreté du Québec, the provincial police force, would participate. The federal government has set a budget of compensating gun owners from a pot of $250 million, expected to cover 136,000 weapons.

John Ivison: Sources say Ottawa considering Swedish jets over F-35s for half of fleet
NORAD would have to be altered and the U.S. would have to fly more F-35s in Canadian airspace, the ambassador told the CBC this week. Advertisement AdvertisementAdvertisement AdvertisementRegardless, all the signs point to Ottawa buying fewer F-35s than it said it would. Sources have told National Post that half of the jet-fighter fleet Canada ends up buying (by value) could be Swedish. Ottawa is already committed to purchasing at least 16 jets and is in the process of building the infrastructure to accommodate them. However unlikely that scenario is, the fact that it is no longer unthinkable suggests it is time to find new friends.

The NFL Pro Bowl has officially become a joke
The National Football League Pro Bowl is a joke. Many have already thought that the Pro Bowl was a joke, but after the recent news on Monday, it has officially become that in my book. No HateIt is what it is, but making the Pro Bowl used to mean something, it no longer stands for that. There is nothing you can do to justify trying to make the case for Sanders to make the Pro Bowl. No hate but the Pro Bowl a joke lol.

P.E.I. couple says their kids’ RESP is in limbo because the bank altered their last name
Max Deller-Lestage and his wife, Marie Pascal, opened a registered education savings plan (RESP) at TD Bank for their two children, aged three and seven. The children use a combination of their parents’ last names, resulting in the surname of Pascal Deller-Lestage. The family later wanted to move the RESP, which holds around $6,000, to a different bank that offered better interest. The transfer wouldn't go through, however, because the new bank included the hyphen and the space in the kids' last name. More than a year later, Deller-Lestage and Pascal still haven't been able to transfer the funds to the new bank.
