Edmonton police commission seeks to replace city councillor members with civilians
City council could lose its two seats on the Edmonton police commission if councillors accept a change the commission argues would lead to better governance. In a report going to council Tuesday, the police commission recommends removing the two existing councillor seats and replacing them with members of the public "at a time established by council."
The report outlines disadvantages to having city councillors sit on the 12-member commission. The police commission oversees the Edmonton Police Service, allocating funds provided by council and setting policies for effective policing.

One of the military's simplest procurement projects is being tied down by red tape
Despite facing heavy pressure to ramp up military spending, the Department of National Defence (DND) has slow-rolled one of the least complex of its vehicle replacement programs.
The light utility vehicle program has been on the books for several years. Its purpose is to update the military's fleet of two-decade-old Afghan war-era Mercedes G-Wagons and civilian-grade utility vehicles, such as pickups and SUVs.
Under the original plan, the terms for the purchase of more than 1,600 vehicles were supposed to be set by this year, putting the program on the road toward a signed contract.
But DND recently told CBC News that it has decided to split the program into two phases — beginning with the acquisition next year of commercial off-the-shelf vehicles, and leaving the purchase of lightly armoured vehicles to later years.
More significantly, the estimated cost of the program has risen to somewhere between $750 million and $1 billion, from an initial projection of $499 million.

Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs Grand Chief Cathy Merrick dies after collapsing outside Winnipeg court
Cathy Merrick, the first female grand chief of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs and a prominent voice on many First Nations issues, has died after collapsing outside the law courts building in Winnipeg on Friday.
Merrick was speaking to media about a court case when she collapsed. She was given CPR before being rushed away in an ambulance.
Winnipeg Mayor Scott Gillingham said in a news release Friday afternoon he was deeply saddened to learn of Merrick's passing.
Merrick, the former chief of Pimicikamak Cree Nation (also known as Cross Lake) in northern Manitoba, was elected as Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs grand chief in October 2022, becoming the first woman to lead the advocacy group in its nearly 35-year history. She was re-elected to the post in July 2024.
On Friday, an emotional Merrick collapsed shortly after speaking to media about what she called "a gross miscarriage of justice" following the acquittal of a Manitoba corrections officer charged in the 2021 death of William Ahmo, a First Nations man who was an inmate at the Headingley Correctional Centre.

Company sues City of Burnaby for $11M over delayed rec centre
A construction company is taking the City of Burnaby to court over a much-delayed recreation centre project, claiming nearly $11.4 million in unpaid dues and damages due to negligence.

Bank of Canada cuts key interest rate to 4.25%, citing cooling inflation
In its third consecutive cut since June, the Bank of Canada lowered its key interest rate to 4.25 per cent on Wednesday, citing the continued easing of inflation.
While the move was widely anticipated by economists, the gradual pace of cuts has sparked some questions about when a more dramatic move might be made.
"If we need to take a bigger step, we're prepared to take a bigger step," Bank of Canada governor Tiff Macklem said during a news conference Wednesday. "At this point, 25 basis points looked appropriate."
The decision Wednesday followed a pattern established earlier this summer when rates were cut to 4.75 per cent in June and 4.5 per cent in July.

Will a massive ballot cause another vote count delay? Elections Canada is looking to avoid it
In Montreal's LaSalle–Émard–Verdun byelection on September 16, 91 candidates will be listed on the longest ballot in Canadian federal election history. Elections Canada is taking measures to avoid delays similar to those experienced in the June Toronto–St. Paul's byelection by recruiting extra staff and starting advance vote counting earlier. The unusually large number of candidates, many associated with the Longest Ballot Committee advocating for electoral reform, is prompting temporary changes to ballot design and counting procedures. Despite concerns, experts believe the situation is manageable and unlikely to impact broader electoral reforms.

How the NDP's deal with the Liberals died
Despite Liberal House Leader Karina Gould expressing confidence in the continuation of the supply-and-confidence agreement with the NDP until June 2025, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh announced its termination just a week later. The abrupt decision, which surprised the Liberals, could lead to the government being toppled before fall 2025 and adds uncertainty to the upcoming parliamentary session.
According to unnamed NDP and Liberal sources, the NDP had been planning their exit from the agreement for about a month before Singh's announcement. Concerns among NDP members included the negative impact of being associated with the Liberal brand, which was lagging behind the Conservatives in polls, and a belief that the NDP had maximized its gains from the deal. NDP House Leader Peter Julian confirmed that the caucus felt they had reached the limit of what the Liberals were willing to offer.

Canadian men's soccer team beats U.S. in away match for 1st time in 67 years
The Canadian men ended 67 years of failure against the U.S. on American soil with an impressive 2-1 win in a soccer friendly Saturday. Jacob Shaffelburg and Jonathan David scored for the 40th-ranked Canadians, who led 1-0 after a dominant first half. Substitute Luca de la Torre replied for the 16th-ranked Americans, who offered more resistance after the break.
Canada's last victory over the Americans on U.S. soil was in July 1957, a 3-2 World Cup qualifying victory in St. Louis. The Canadian men had gone winless in 23 consecutive games against the U.S. in America since then, but outclassed their opposition Saturday.

Jasper wildfire complex now under control: Parks Canada
The wildfire that burned a third of the buildings in Jasper, Alta., to the ground is now under control, Parks Canada officials announced Saturday.
"That means that the wildfire has received sufficient suppression action to ensure no further spread outside the defined perimeter of the fire," Landon Shepherd, a Parks Canada incident commander, told reporters.
The wildfire perimeter is an estimated 278 kilometres, while the area is estimated to be at 32,722 hectares.
Smoke and flames will still likely be visible inside the fire's perimeter into early winter, Parks Canada says.
"This announcement of getting us to being under control in under seven weeks from the fire starting is a significant achievement," Shepherd said.
"It wouldn't have been possible without the deliberate and joint efforts under our unified command with the Municipality of Jasper."

Ottawa police secretly wiretapped 5 Black officers, lawsuit alleges
The Ottawa police secretly wiretapped five of its Somali officers and their family members for months, never laid any charges, and refuses to tell them why, alleges a $2.5-million lawsuit filed by the officers. In the suit against the Ottawa Police Services Board, filed last year and reported now for the first time exclusively by CBC, the officers allege they were subjected to racial discrimination.
The officers, some of whom have loose family connections to alleged criminals, say their relationships led to the illegal search and seizure of their most private communications. The officers allege the investigation left a lingering target on their backs, keeping them under a veil of suspicion by other officers.

Norval Morrisseau's legacy 'irrevocably damaged' due to art fraud, says judge giving man 5 years in prison
The man who oversaw the creation of thousands of forged artworks in Thunder Bay, Ont., falsely attributed to Anishinaabe artist Norval Morrisseau faces a five-year penitentiary sentence.
David John Voss pleaded guilty on June 4 to counts of forgery and uttering forged documents for operating an art fraud ring out of Thunder Bay between 1996 and 2019.
Investigators have called the case Canada's largest art fraud investigation, resulting in more than 1,000 paintings seized.
The sentence for Voss, 52, was handed down on Thursday by Superior Court Justice Bonnie Warkentin.
"The purpose of the creation of these fake paintings was to gain an economic benefit, but in the course of creating and selling these fakes, the legacy of Norval Morrisseau has been irrevocably damaged," Warkentin told the court.
"His spirituality has been undermined and tarnished, so today, we have one small opportunity to address this wrong."

Provinces told to pull existing COVID-19 vaccines ahead of arrival of updated shots
Health Canada has instructed provinces to withdraw and destroy all remaining supplies of the XBB.1.5 COVID-19 vaccine as of September 1, 2024. This move comes as new vaccines targeting the JN.1 or KP.2 Omicron strains are expected to be approved and rolled out in October.
Ontario and Saskatchewan plan to distribute the updated vaccines once they receive approval and supply from Health Canada. In British Columbia, the existing XBB.1.5 vaccine will remain available temporarily for specific needs, while Manitoba has asked for the return of unused doses and will handle current requests on a case-by-case basis.
Health experts anticipate that both the current and new vaccines will help reduce severe illness despite the virus's ongoing mutations.

'If you can't move, you can still game' — how a developer helps make accessible video games
Several years ago, Anthony DeVergillo was playing a video game that required him to point his controller at the screen to save.
The Bedminster, N.J., man, has Duchenne muscular dystrophy and couldn't lift the controller. "It really frustrated me," he told CBC Hamilton. "I could do everything else in the game, I just couldn't save because it was not accessible. So that was really the last straw for me."
Today, DeVergillo, 31, is the co-creator of software that aims to help people with little or no mobility play video games. In April, he and his co-creator Jonah Monaghan released Overjoyed on the Microsoft Store — a milestone for a program that only used to be available as an open source download on Monaghan's website.
Monaghan, who grew up near Guelph, Ont., studied game design and development at Wilfrid Laurier University's Brantford, Ont., campus. Now a teacher in Nelson House, Man., he met DeVergillo in a Facebook group on gaming and accessibility when he was researching the topic for school.
