Alberta uses Charter’s notwithstanding clause to order striking teachers back to work

Premier Danielle Smith’s government introduced a bill Monday using the Charter of Rights and Freedoms notwithstanding clause to order 51,000 striking teachers back to work to end the largest walkout in Alberta history. If the bill passes, students would be back in classes Wednesday, and Smith has promised fast-tracked passage in the house.The move puts Smith’s government on a potential collision course with more than 350,000 workers in other provincial unions, which promised an “unprecedented response” if the government invoked the clause to override teachers’ constitutional rights to assemble.Some teachers and supporters were in the legislature chamber gallery and there were shouts of “Shame!” as Finance Minister Nate Horner formally introduced the bill.Smith earlier told reporters the si...

Trump administration must restore grants for school counselors, judge rules – National

The Trump administration must release millions of dollars in grants meant to address the shortage of mental health workers in schools, a federal judge ruled Monday. Congress funded the mental health program after the 2022 school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. The grants were intended to help schools hire more counselors, psychologists and social workers, with a focus on rural and underserved areas of the country. But President Donald Trump’s administration opposed diversity considerations used to award the grants and told recipients they wouldn’t receive funding past December 2025.The preliminary ruling by Kymberly K. Evanson, a U.S. District Court judge in Seattle, applies only to some grantees in the sixteen Democratic-led states that challenged the Education Department’s decision. In Madera...

B.C. will go ahead with anti-tariff ads despite Trump blow-up over Ontario

British Columbia Premier David Eby said Monday his province will go ahead with an American ad campaign targeting U.S. President Donald Trump’s “unfair and absurd” lumber tariffs, despite Trump blowing up trade talks with Canada over Ontario’s anti-tariff ad. “It is absolutely essential that we talk to Americans about the implications of tariffs, about the fact that trade policy in the United States right now is governed not by logic, not by economics, not by relationship, but by something else entirely,” Eby told reporters in Victoria, B.C.“We are going to exercise all of our ability to get the word out, including advertising. We reserve the right to do that.”Eby announced last Thursday that B.C. will roll out digital ads in the U.S. next month “to explain who wins and who loses” after Tru...

Delhi air pollution: Docs report rise in joints pain, respiratory and eye issues

With particulate matter (PM) 2.5 concentrations averaging 488 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3) in the national capital post Diwali, city doctors on Tuesday, October 21, reported a rise in cases of respiratory issues, eye irritation, flu as well as joint pain among others. According to data from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), the overall Air Quality Index (AQI) in Delhi-NCR remained in the `very poor` category, reaching 400 a day after Diwali festivities. While the overall AQI stood at 347, several areas recorded levels in the `severe` category. “High pollution levels can worsen joint disease. Pollutants such as particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone trigger inflammation and oxidative stress in the body, which can aggravate pain, stiffness, and fatigue in people ...

Parliamentary committee urges Liberals to fix Indigenous procurement system – National

The Liberals should move “immediately” to fix eligibility rules around the federal government’s $1.6 billion annual Indigenous procurement program, a cross-partisan committee of MPs says. In a report tabled Friday, the House of Commons’ Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee noted longstanding concerns that non-Indigenous companies are gaming the system to gain access to federal contracts meant for First Nations, Métis and Inuit companies.Last year, Global News, in partnership with the First Nations University of Canada, revealed widespread concerns that non-Indigenous companies were finding ways to circumvent lax verification rules to convince the government they were at least 51-per cent owned by Indigenous people — opening the program up to fraud and abuse.The alleged schemes range f...

More U.S. tariffs would be ‘very damaging,’ auto industry tells MPs

Canada’s automotive industry is sounding the alarm that it would be “very damaging” if more tariffs are put into place — and also that some vehicle manufacturers are voicing concern about being seen as “too American” in the tense climate. This comes after U.S. President Donald Trump abruptly cut off trade talks and declared he would add a 10 per cent tariff on top of current levies in place on Canada — a move Trump said was because of an anti-tariff commercial produced by the Government of Ontario.A panel of representatives from Canada’s automotive sector met with a federal standing committee in Ottawa Monday to discuss the “challenging” environment that tariffs and the trade war have created.“It would be extremely challenging if more tariffs go into place, particularly if they apply to al...

Ontario Reagan commercial produced by firm with ties to Doug Ford’s PC party

The Ontario anti-tariff commercial that derailed negotiations between Canada and the United States was produced by an external ad agency with ties to the Ontario Progressive Conservative party. The Ontario commercial, which features former Republican president Ronald Reagan’s views on tariffs and protectionism, created an international stir when President Donald Trump terminated trade negotiations with Canada and applied a 10 per cent tariff on Canadian exports to the United States.Prime Minister Mark Carney suggested the commercial was also the sole reason for the “unexpected twists and turns” in the talks, and emphasized that while he’s open to “unsolicited advice” on those discussions, the negotiations are the “responsibility of the government of Canada.”“There were a series of very det...

Ontario scraps controversial plan that threatened evergreen leases

The Ontario government is scrapping its plans for consultations on changing the law that currently allows for month-to-month tenancies, a move that housing advocates say is a relief but doesn’t go far enough. Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s government introduced Bill 60 on Thursday, which included plans to address delays and reduce the backlog at the Landlord and Tenant Board.The bill included proposals to change how much landlords must compensate tenants if evicted in good faith for specific reasons, and when an eviction order can be set aside.Groups like ACORN Canada raised concerns over several elements, but the proposal that had advocates and politicians concerned the most was holding consultations to potentially change renters’ rights to stay in their homes.On Sunday afternoon, Municipal ...
