Alberta announces $8.6B plan to build new schools amid surging population growth
Premier Danielle Smith has launched an ambitious school construction plan to help relieve pressure created by a population boom by creating 50,000 spaces for students over the next three years.
The School Construction Accelerator Program, announced by Smith in a provincewide televised address Tuesday evening, will cost $8.6 billion over three years. It adds $6.5 billion to the previously announced amount of $2.1 billion. Smith said the plan aims to create an additional 150,000 student spaces in the four years after the initial three-year push, for a total of 200,000 over seven years.

'A lost opportunity': Alberta gives back $137M to Ottawa in unspent funds to clean up inactive wells
The Alberta government has officially handed back more than $137 million to the federal government after running out of time to spend the cash to clean up old oil and natural gas wells.
Questions remain about why the provincial government was unable to use the much-needed funding, considering there are tens of thousands of inactive wells.
Many companies are also disappointed that the full amount wasn't spent because of the loss of reclamation work it would have created.
The cash was part of the federal government's $1.7-billion funding pledge in 2020 aimed at reducing the environmental risk of aging oil and gas infrastructure, while also providing work for the oilfield service sector after the pandemic began and oil prices crashed.
The money was divided between B.C. ($120 million), Alberta ($1 billion) and Saskatchewan ($400 million). Alberta's Orphan Well Association received a $200-million loan to support the cleanup of wells left over when companies go bankrupt.

Canada relaxes some mortgage rules to tackle housing crisis
Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland announced changes to mortgage rules to make housing more affordable in Canada. Starting December 15, the cap on insured mortgages will rise from $1 million to $1.5 million, allowing buyers with down payments below 20% to access insurance for more expensive homes. Additionally, the 30-year mortgage amortization period will now be available to both first-time buyers and those purchasing newly built homes, expanding beyond its previous limitation.
Freeland hopes these changes will stimulate new housing construction and address the housing shortage. However, experts have mixed opinions. RateHub. ca’s Penelope Graham believes the measures will improve access for first-time buyers but is unsure about their impact on overall affordability. Desjardins economist Marc Desormaux cautions that while the rules may help some buyers enter the market, they could also increase demand, potentially driving up home prices and worsening affordability in the long run. Homebuilding groups support the changes, hoping they will encourage more construction by increasing market demand.

Retired vice-admiral Haydn Edmundson found not guilty of sexual assault
Retired vice-admiral Haydn Edmundson, accused of sexually assaulting a woman more than 30 years ago, was found not guilty in an Ottawa courtroom on Monday. He was also found not guilty of one count of committing indecent acts.
Judge Matthew C. Webber rendered the decision in the Ontario Court of Justice because the case was tried by a judge alone.
Edmundson, who was charged in December 2021, said he cried after hearing the not guilty verdicts, and that it's a "massive emotional outpouring" because the charges were hanging over the heads of him and his family members for three years.
"And now that has been lifted somewhat. But the pain is still there and the emotions are still there," he told the media outside the courthouse following the verdict, adding he wouldn't comment on whether he would be taking legal action.
His lawyer, Brian Greenspan, called the verdict a "clear decisive vindication," pointing to Webber's raising of credibility issues with the complainant's testimony.

London convenience store owners mark first week of alcohol sales under new provincial rules
Ayoub's store, Fresh & Fast Food Mart, is one of more than 140 London convenience stores that can now sell beer, cider, wine and ready-to-drink cocktails since Sept. 5 as part of the province's alcohol sale expansion plans.
The Ford government fast-tracked its plans by more than a year, allowing upwards of 4,000 stores across Ontario to sell alcoholic beverages alongside tobacco, lottery tickets, candy, gum and other convenience store mainstays. To do so, the province had to fork over more than $200 million to The Beer Store to break a 10-year agreement that was due to end in 2026.

Police probe possible firearms trafficking following July seizure of 47 guns
Police in northern Nova Scotia are probing whether more than 40 rifles and shotguns discovered during a large drug bust this summer at two rural homes are part of a weapons trafficking scheme and hope cellphones seized during the raids will offer more clues.
RCMP Cpl. Troy Gill, an investigator with the Cumberland County street crime unit, said police weren't expecting to find such a large cache of guns when officers on July 31 searched the homes in the small communities of Hansford and Birchwood just east of the town of Oxford, N.S.

The Liberals can't win a general election if they keep losing safe seats
The recent byelection results in LaSalle-Émard-Verdun signal troubling times for the Liberal Party, echoing a historical moment from 1978 when Pierre Trudeau's government faced a similar setback. Back then, Trudeau lost six of seven seats in byelections, which hinted at poor prospects for the upcoming federal election. Despite this, he remained defiant, stating he wouldn't be crushed by the results.
Fast forward to 2024, and Justin Trudeau's Liberals experienced a narrow defeat in LaSalle-Émard-Verdun, losing by just 248 votes after a much larger victory margin of nearly 10,000 votes two years ago. This close loss, along with another in Toronto-St. Paul's, highlights the significant challenges ahead for the Liberals, as they must regain lost ground in traditionally strong ridings if they hope to maintain power and avoid a substantial Conservative resurgence. Trudeau acknowledged the need for continued effort, indicating a more humble approach than his father’s, while recognizing the critical work that lies ahead.

IRCC stopped assigning immigration applications to inactive officers' IDs after CBC report
In the wake of a CBC investigation that revealed thousands of immigration applications had been assigned to hundreds of former employees' IDs and placeholder codes, the federal government conducted a major review and cleaned up its global application system to ensure none had been "forgotten," CBC News has learned.
Now, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) tells CBC News it has ended the longstanding practice of using inactive officers' IDs as virtual holding bins for applications to ensure "files do not fall through the cracks."

Sask. mother calls for action to address daycare shortage for neurodivergent children
A Saskatoon mother and the owners of a daycare for neurodivergent children are calling for the provincial government to do more to increase child care spaces for children with complex needs.
Alicia Mann said she was "bogged down with worry" for four months searching for child care for her eldest son after his previous daycare terminated his spot. When they found out four-year-old Felix has autism, they would tell her they couldn't accommodate him, she said. "It was crushing," Mann told CBC's Saskatoon Morning last week. "It makes you feel as if your child is a burden and not someone who should be celebrated."

Deadly attacks at Kingston encampment spark debate about nearby care hub
The mayor of Kingston is calling for the continued closure of the city's integrated care hub and the supervised injection site it houses following a series of deadly attacks at a nearby encampment that left two people dead and another critically injured. But advocates warn shuttering the hub would be shortsighted and have negative consequences on the people who rely on its services.
On Thursday, police were involved in a lengthy standoff with a man they have now charged with two counts of second-degree murder and one count of attempted murder.

On Friday morning, Kingston Police cruisers sat parked outside the city's Integrated Care Hub (ICH) and a tall fence that was erected overnight surrounded the site, lined with tents and other temporary shelters.
It was a very different scene than the previous morning when the area was wrapped in yellow police tape and paramedics stood by as police officers engaged in a roughly six-hour standoff with the suspect in a deadly assault. Two people were killed and a third remains in hospital with life-threatening injuries after a series of attacks Thursday morning that investigators say unfolded in an encampment near the Montreal Street facility.
