Alberta wagers allowing more online gambling operators will capture illicit market
Alberta will soon expand its online gambling landscape to allow multiple players to operate legally, moving closer to a model used in Ontario.
At present, the only regulated and legal online gambling website in the province is Play Alberta. It includes casino-style games, live dealer table games as well as sports betting, and is operated by Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC). But in May, the provincial government passed Bill 16, the Red Tape Reduction Statutes Amendment Act. It allows for the provincial government to regulate and oversee iGaming activities, meaning it could green-light online gambling websites operated by private companies.

Report calls for public apology in 'disastrous' 2021 Halifax encampment evictions
A highly anticipated report looking into the way evictions were carried out at a Halifax encampment in 2021 offered 37 recommendations for Halifax police, the police board and the city, calling it "a day of chaos for all those involved."
Last spring, the Board of Police Commissioners announced it had hired a Toronto-based law firm to conduct an external review of events that unfolded on Aug. 18, 2021, at the Halifax Memorial Library encampment.
The 116-page report, released Friday, was critical of the way Halifax Regional Police and the Halifax Regional Municipality handled the evictions, as well as the civilian-led protest that ensued as a result.

Aurélie Rivard swims to 12th career Paralympic medal with silver in S10 100m freestyle
At the Paris Paralympics, Canadian swimmer Aurélie Rivard won silver in the women's S10 100-metre freestyle, clocking 1:00.82 and finishing just 0.3 seconds behind gold medalist Emeline Pierre of France. This marked Rivard's 12th career Paralympic medal. Despite her disappointment in not defending her title, Rivard appreciated the support from the crowd and looked forward to future events. She has previously won bronze in the S10 50m freestyle at these Games. Rivard's silver temporarily placed her ahead of wheelchair racer Brent Lakatos for the most Canadian medals in Paris, but Lakatos later won silver, restoring the tie. Rivard will compete in the 400m freestyle and 100m backstroke later in the Games. Canada has secured eight medals so far, including four silver and four bronze, but is still seeking its first gold.

Canada Post lost nearly $750M last year, future now uncertain
It's hard to imagine Canada without Canada Post, a company that has existed for 157 years. But there are serious questions raised about the survival of the Crown Corporation, as top executives held their annual general meeting this week and offered a bleak outlook.
The chair of the board warned the postal service is at a "critical juncture" and that its financial situation is "unsustainable," having lost nearly $750 million last year.
"Significant change is urgently needed," said Andre Hudon, the Canada Post board chair.

Public service union's court challenge of return-to-office order will proceed
Federal civil servants have been ordered to return to the office for at least three days a week starting September 9. In response, the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) challenged this directive in court. Federal Court Justice Glennys L. McVeigh has allowed the challenge to proceed, dismissing the government's attempt to halt the case. The government argued that employment disputes should be resolved through established processes first, but the court decided a full hearing is necessary to address both sides' arguments. PSAC views this decision as a significant victory, emphasizing the need for transparency and data behind the government's mandate.

Paralympic newsletter: Canada wins its first two medals, plus who to watch on Friday
Track cyclist Kate O'Brien got Canada on the board quickly on Day 1 in Paris, taking bronze in the women's C4-5 500m time trial. It's the second Paralympic medal for O'Brien, who took silver in this event at the 2021 Games in Tokyo. She also competed in the 2016 Olympics before a training crash the following year caused a serious brain injury.
Later, swimming star Aurélie Rivard captured her 11th Paralympic medal with a bronze in the women's 50m freestyle S10 event. That moves the 28-year-old Rivard into a tie with wheelchair racer Brent Lakatos for the most medals among Canadians competing in Paris.
Swimmer Shelby Newkirk came close to her first Paralympic podium, placing fourth in the women's 50m freestyle S6 final.

You might want to wait until fall for your next COVID-19 shot, doctors say. Here's why
Health Canada is set to complete its review of updated COVID-19 vaccines by "early autumn," following recent approvals in the U.S. for vaccines aimed at preventing severe illness and death. This review comes amid ongoing COVID-19 challenges, including new Omicron subvariants and recent outbreaks affecting athletes at the Paralympic Games in Paris.
Mandy Cohen from the U.S. CDC emphasized the importance of these updated vaccines due to the virus’s rapid mutation and declining immunity over time, particularly for high-risk groups. Immunology expert Dawn Bowdish from McMaster University noted that COVID-19 activity often peaks every three to six months, suggesting a potential increase in cases this winter. Public health experts recommend incorporating vaccination into fall health plans.

Paralympic newsletter: Canada strikes gold, and who to watch on Tuesday
On Day 5 of the Paralympics in Paris, Canada secured its first gold medal with Nicholas Bennett winning the men's 100m breaststroke SB14. Bennett, who has autism, also earned a second medal at the Games. Additionally, Leanne Taylor and Austin Smeenk each won bronze in the women's PTWC wheelchair triathlon and the men's 100m T34 wheelchair track race, respectively, marking their first Paralympic medals.
Canada narrowly missed additional medals in triathlon, with Kamylle Frenette finishing fourth in the women's PTS5 and Stefan Daniel, who crashed during his race, ending up 10th in the men's PTS5. The triathlon events had been rescheduled due to poor water quality in the Seine river.
Over the weekend, Canada won four silver medals: Bennett in the men's 200m freestyle, Tess Routliffe in the women's 200m individual medley SM7, and Aurelie Rivard and Brent Lakatos, each capturing their 12th career Paralympic medal.

As temperatures rise, so will the cost of an AC unit
Star Vickery never used to need an air conditioning unit to stay cool in her home in Halifax. But summers are getting warmer, she says, and since she now works from home, it's become a must.
But cooling your home can be costly. The unit cost Vickery and her husband over $800, plus ongoing electricity costs.
"We can't live like this anymore. We need to have some comfort," Vickery told the Cost of Living.
"It's not an inconsequential expenditure. I mean, that's a lot of money."
And that price is going up. The cost of air conditioning units is expected to rise because of regulatory changes, in keeping with the Montreal Protocol of 1987, an international treaty designed to limit the amount of harmful chemicals going into the atmosphere. Signatories include Canada, the U.S. and the EU.

B.C. police officers file Charter challenge over a phone and chat being searched in an internal investigation
Five current and former police officers from Nelson, B.C., have challenged the constitutionality of a search conducted during an investigation into allegedly racist WhatsApp messages. Filed on August 22, their Charter challenge argues that the search of their personal phones and group chats violated their privacy rights. They claim the search, authorized under the Police Act, was unreasonable and infringed on their reasonable expectation of privacy. The petitioners are seeking a B.C. Supreme Court ruling to invalidate parts of the Police Act related to search authority. The officers are scheduled for a disciplinary hearing in November, but the challenge has yet to be tested in court.

Boy, 15, fatally shot by 2 RCMP officers during 'confrontation' south of Edmonton, police say
The news that a teenager was fatally shot by police early Friday morning has shocked many residents in communities across central Alberta.
The 15-year-old boy from Samson Cree Nation had called 911 for help, alleging people were trying to kill him, RCMP said Friday. Officers found the boy in Wetaskiwin, Alta., a city just north of the First Nation, with "several weapons." Officers were able to confiscate them, but a "confrontation" occurred that led to two Mounties firing their guns, according to a news release RCMP issued Friday afternoon. The boy later died in hospital.

1, 2 or 3? Michelin star restaurant rating system is coming to Quebec
The Michelin Guide is expanding to Quebec, marking its third Canadian market after Toronto and Vancouver. Michelin will assess restaurants across the province, not just in Montreal, with the first selection set to be revealed in 2025. Inspectors will make anonymous visits, potentially awarding up to three stars for excellence, as well as Bib Gourmand ratings for good food at lower prices. Michelin's arrival is supported by investments from local tourism and economic development organizations, with concerns about how Quebec's unique cuisine will be perceived. Despite some industry stress and staff shortages, the guide is expected to boost Quebec's visibility and tourism.
