Alberta overhauls election laws to allow corporate donations, change referendum thresholds
The Alberta government wants to bring back corporate and union political donations, eliminate the process of vouching for a voter's identity at election polling stations, and lower the threshold for recalls and referendums.
The bill, which amends seven pieces of legislation including the Election Act, would also ban the use of electronic vote tabulators, a measure that was promised by Premier Danielle Smith's United Conservative government.

💩 Frustrations rise over human waste on Vancouver streets, prompting return of ‘poop fairy’ program
As public defecation in Vancouver reaches new heights, residents, business owners and Business Improvement Areas leaders are calling for action that goes beyond the routine clean-ups.
Executive director of the Gastown Business Improvement Society says he was forced to implement his own initiative, affectionately dubbed the “poop fairy program,” after other waste-collecting programs proved ineffective.
In 2021, the City of Vancouver introduced its Feces Removal Response Program to address the fouling minefields, with patrols and collections carried out on weekdays across Chinatown, Downtown, Strathcona, Gastown, and Hastings Crossing.
A spokesperson from the city says the program had seen 1,870 removals in the first two months of this year alone. In 2024, 327 calls regarding human waste were made, an average of six calls per week.

A former MP who was barred from running in the federal election for the Liberal Party because of alleged ties to India has formed a lobby group for Hindu Canadians.
Chandra Arya, who served as a member of Parliament for the Ottawa riding of Nepean for more than nine years, was removed as the Liberal candidate for the district shortly before the election campaign began in March.
