May says voting for Carney’s budget a ‘mistake’ after Alberta pipeline deal – National

Green Party leader Elizabeth May says supporting the Carney government on the budget vote is a “mistake” she won’t make again. May told The Canadian Press the memorandum of understanding Prime Minister Mark Carney signed with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith on energy — specifically the part that applies federal tax credits to enhanced oil recovery — amounted to a “significant betrayal and a reversal” which has her questioning the worth of Carney’s word.“I don’t know if the prime minister lied but I think he needs to consider what his word means when his word was given,” she said.“He obviously thought getting a deal with Danielle Smith was more important than his word.”As The Canadian Press reported Friday, then-cabinet minister Steven Guilbeault was dispatched to win May’s vote for the budg...

Canadian air passenger traffic to U.S. down for 9th consecutive month – National

For the ninth consecutive month, fewer passengers at Canadian airports are heading to the United States amid the trade war. New data from Statistics Canada shows total Canadian air passenger traffic in October was up by 4.5 per cent to five million travellers from the same time last year, but the number of people on U.S.-bound trips is down 8.9 per cent to 1.2 million travellers.The drop comes almost a year after U.S. President Donald Trump first started musing about making Canada the 51st state, a threat he has repeated throughout the trade war.When asked if he was considering using military force to take over Canada in January, Trump did not rule out a plan for annexation.“No, economic force,” he said. “Because Canada and the United States would really be something. You get rid of that a...

Kneecap launches defamation case against Liberal MP over entry ban video – National

The Irish hip-hop group Kneecap says it has begun legal action against Vince Gasparro, the Liberal parliamentary secretary who posted a video on social media announcing an apparent ban on the group entering Canada that their lawyer says caused “substantial” harm. Lawyer Darragh Mackin told Global News that a defamation case is being pursued in Ireland against Gasparro, who Mackin said was served with a notice of claim over the weekend.“Our clients have been subject to serious and unfounded assertions by way of a public video posted on a personal social media account which has caused substantial reputational harm,” Mackin said in a statement from Belfast human rights law firm Phoenix Law on Saturday.“The statements made by Mr. Gasparro were wholly inaccurate and defamatory without any reaso...

Delhi air pollution: Need solutions which work throughout year, not short period

Amid worsening air pollution in the national capital, health experts on Saturday emphasised the need for solutions that work throughout the year, and not for a short period.  Delhi’s air quality remained entrenched in the very poor category for the 15th consecutive day, with the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) recording an Air Quality Index (AQI) of 338 at 7 a.m. “We have reached an emergency in Delhi. The efforts to curb pollution cannot be only temporary, which may help immediately for a little while, but long-term solutions to this city are urgently required,” Dr. Anant Mohan, Professor and Head, Department of Pulmonary Medicine and Sleep Disorders, AIIMS New Delhi, told IANS. "We have to do something very urgently on this now at this stage," he added. The city’s 24-hour aver...

Gulshan Devaiah on working with R Madhavan in Tamil debut Legacy

It’s a year of firsts for Gulshan Devaiah. After making his Kannada film debut with Kantara: Chapter 1, the actor is now foraying into the Tamil industry with Legacy. The Netflix series unites him with R Madhavan. “I felt weak in the knees every time I saw him,” quips Devaiah, referring to the actor’s aged look in the crime drama. “He plays my father-in-law. There was something magnetic about that look. All the girls [on the set] were going gaga over him, and I said, ‘You have to go over my dead body. I’m getting to him first’,” he laughs. Even as Kantara: Chapter 1 has opened up opportunities for Devaiah, he doesn’t want to be impulsive in signing his next. “The challenge is to see where I put my next step. The offers will keep coming; they did earlier too — from Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, ...
