Documents show that more than 200 Quebec prison inmates have been accidentally released since 2015
More than 200 inmates, some serving time for violent crimes, have been inadvertently released from Quebec province prisons over the past eight years.
Correctional staff, as well as court clerks and police, confused inmates, miscalculated sentence lengths, and miscommunicated with one another. These errors resulted in the early release of 175 people between January 2015 and January 2022. In addition to those cases, 29 others were released early between April 2022 and March 2023, said Louise, a spokeswoman for the Department of Public Safety said Quintin.
It was also previously reported that hundreds of people have been illegally detained for days to months in Quebec over the past decade due to administrative errors. An alleged victim of unlawful detention is now seeking authorization to file a class action lawsuit against the provincial government.

Calls coming from Alberta for resolution to B.C. port workers' strike
With B.C. port workers poised to renew their strike on Saturday morning, Alberta's premier is renewing her call for the federal government to legislate the union back to work.
"The federal government must reconvene Parliament and legislate these workers back to work. Albertans and Canadians cannot afford to have hundreds of millions of dollars daily in products delayed at these ports," Danielle Smith said in a tweet Tuesday night.
Alberta beef producers agree. While the majority of exports from the province go south to the United States, Canadian beef producers are working hard to re-establish a market in Asia, particularly Japan, which re-opened its borders to Canadian beef in March, 20 years after closing them due to an outbreak of BSE.
"It's essential that other countries can depend on the fact that our ports are available and functioning properly to get product to market," said Brad Dubeau, general manager of Alberta Beef Producers.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford calls Ottawa’s light rail “a mess” during the recent nationwide shutdown
For the third straight day, the light rail system serving the country’s capital was paralyzed on Wednesday due to technical problems. A routine inspection Monday found one car had an axle assembly with excessive grease and was looser than allowable for safety reasons.
“We put a tremendous amount of money into the LRT. We handed it over to the City of Ottawa and, I don’t know, it was a mess, is all I can say. The inquiry said everything,” the premier told reporters Wednesday while in Ottawa
A public inquiry into the $2.1 billion system that was reported last December found, among other things, that the system was rushed into operation before it was ready.

Homeless encampment dismantled in St. Thomas, Ont.
City of St. Thomas staff were accompanied by city police as a homeless encampment was dismantled Wednesday.
A mechanical claw attached to an excavator was used to dismantle makeshift structures on the site along Victor Street, near where it intersects with Chester Street. Neighbours said the property was the site of an industrial building that was dismantled years ago.
St. Thomas police officials said the decision to dismantle the encampment was made after a violent assault at the location in the early morning hours on Tuesday.

Protesters chase Trudeau out of Belleville
An event for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was cut short in Belleville, Ont., today after nearly 100 protesters surrounded him and his motorcade.
Trudeau was in the city to mark the seventh anniversary of the Liberal government's Child Care Benefit, to meet with the mayor and to visit a farmers' market.
Trudeau was set to meet with about 10 vendors, but he couldn't make his way to the other side of the public square after being swarmed by the dozens of protesters.
Not exactly the level of support that a Prime Minister should have.

Majority of Canadians think Trudeau government spends too much and on the wrong things: poll
🔹Two in three Canadians think the amount they pay in income taxes is too high and fewer than one in four Canadians believe the federal government spends on the right priorities, a study found.
🔹Other findings include that two in three Canadians recognize that increased government spending contributes to inflation.
🔹Quebec residents, in particular, have taken issue with the federal government’s spending, with 64 per cent of respondents in La Belle Province saying Ottawa is overspending. Countrywide, 55 per cent of Canadians agree.
🔹Respondents were also more likely to be against carbon pricing (45 per cent) than in support (41 per cent), with the Atlantic provinces representing the strongest opposition at 68 per cent.

🇨🇦🇺🇸‘No choice’ but to retaliate against Canadian digital tax, U.S. ambassador says
The United States could target digital trade if it decides on retaliatory measures against a proposed Canadian digital services tax, U.S. ambassador to Canada David Cohen said.
The Liberal government confirmed this week it plans to go ahead with the tax targeting Big Tech in 2024, despite 138 other countries and jurisdictions agreeing last week to delay similar measures.
U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai has previously warned Canada should not implement a unilateral tax.
The Canadian tax, estimated to bring in $3.4 billion over five years, is aimed at large companies that operate online marketplaces, social media platforms and earn revenue from online advertising. This includes Amazon, Google, Facebook, Uber and Airbnb.
The Liberal government first promised the tax in the 2021 budget. It would be retroactive to 2022, meaning the companies would be on the hook for more than $1 billion once it comes into effect.

Some young Canadians would rather die earlier or not have sex than lose social media, study shows
A study of 750 Canadians ages 16 to 30 has yielded some shocking results. It asked the sample group what they would rather give up than social media.
🔹While most would only sacrifice things like alcohol or video games, nearly 10 per cent of respondents said they would accept being unable to have children, give up sex, or forfeit one-year of their life to maintain their social media connections.
🔹Five per cent said they'd forfeit five years of life expectancy, and three per cent said they'd gladly die a decade earlier.
🔹Five per cent also said they'd be willing to contract a sexually transmitted infection or be diagnosed with a life-threatening illness like cancer, according to the survey.

RCMP failing to fulfill provincial policing contracts across Canada
The RCMP is falling well short of staffing levels in multiple jurisdictions across Canada where it has provincial policing contracts, with as many as one in six positions unfilled, leaving communities with fewer officers and detachments short-staffed.
The force is suffering significant officer-vacancy rates in all eight provinces and three territories where it provides contract policing as of February 2023.
In Newfoundland, for example, the vacancy rate for RCMP positions was at 17 per cent. The vacancy rate is the gap between the number of officers the force is committed to under policing contracts with the province and the numbers the RCMP is actually providing.
In Prince Edward Island, the Mounties providing 16-per-cent fewer officers than the province has contracted for. In Alberta and the Northwest Territories, it is 15 per cent.
The vacancy rate is 13 per cent in New Brunswick, 10 per cent in Manitoba and eight per cent in Nova Scotia.

Canadians work from home more often than employees in other countries
🔹The Global Survey of Working Arrangements found that Canadians work an average of 1.7 days per week from home, ranking first among English-speaking countries and globally.
In comparison, employees in the U.S. work remotely for an average of 1.4 days per week, while those in the U.K. and Australia work 1.5 and 1.3 days on average respectively.
Employees in other Western countries, such as Germany, France, and Italy, spend significantly less time working from home, less than a day, on average.
🔹Although Canadians have the highest number of paid remote working days among all countries surveyed, it is not enough for them, the report found.
On average, Canadian employees desire to work from home 2.5 days per week, while their employers plan to offer only 1.8 days per week for remote work.

Wildfire crews burn area around B.C. airport to protect it from encroaching blaze
The forest and brush around the international airport at Cranbrook, B.C., has been scorched in an all-out effort to protect the vital transportation link from an encroaching wildfire, airport manager said Friday.
Wildfire crews were at the Canadian Rockies International Airport in southeastern B.C. overnight Friday monitoring the fires that were purposely lit as a guard from the out-of-control St. Mary’s River fire.
The controlled burns did their job and are adding to previous wildfire mitigation measures taken by airport officials.

Retired RCMP officer charged in a case of alleged foreign interference
The RCMP has charged one of its former members in a foreign interference investigation, alleging he helped the Chinese government identify and intimidate a person.
Police say William Majcher, who is from Hong Kong, used his network of Canadian contacts to obtain intelligence or services that benefited the People’s Republic of China. They also say the case does not have to do with election interference.
Majcher was arrested in Vancouver on Thursday and appeared by videoconference in a Longueuil, Que., court Friday. He is being held in custody until another court date Tuesday.

The strike by writers and actors in the U.S. is starting to impact the Manitoba film industry.
As the Writers Guild of America strike enters its third month, and since the Screen Actors Guild joined the picket line two weeks ago, projects slated for Manitoba over the next few months have ground to a halt.
Rod Bruinooge, interim CEO of Manitoba Film and Music, said in any given year, 60 to 65 per cent of the company’s revenue comes from American productions that employ local workers and actors.
Manitoba IATSE union president Nicolas Phillips said he has no work on film sets scheduled in the near future, leaving thousands of employees out of work.

Government expected to take losses in Trans Mountain project, expert says
The federal government’s Trans Mountain pipeline project is nearly 80 per cent complete, but at least one expert believes it might never turn a profit.
The beleaguered pipeline was originally supposed to cost upwards of $15 billion, but cost overruns, higher tariffs and delays have nearly doubled the price tag, with further delays possible. As of March, Trans Mountain Corporation projected costs at $30.9 billion and completion in 2024.
Stephen Ellis, equity strategist at Morningstar Research Services, was in favour of the project in the beginning, as it was meant to more easily transport oil from Alberta to Asia, but now he said project costs have made it nearly impossible to turn to a profit, and companies have found cheaper solutions.
“We just can’t put numbers together that make the pipeline worth anywhere close to the $30 billion it’s going to be costing,” he said.
While the original plan was to use the pipeline for export to Asia, Morningstar suggests most of the oil from Trans Mountain will still end up in the U.S., while other options for U.S. shipping will still be cheaper.

🇨🇦⚽️ Canadian footballer Quinn becomes the first out trans and non-binary player to feature at a World Cup
Some strange things are happening at the women's World Cup. Canada has announced that the first openly non-binary and trans person will play for their team. Quinn, formerly known as Rebecca Quinn, has already played in Friday's match between Canada and Nigeria.
First of all, how can somebody be both trans and non-binary at the same time?
Secondly, a biological woman participates in the women's World Cup, but somehow they manage to make it about trans and queer pride.
For some reason, Quinn, being trans, doesn't want to participate in the men's World Cup. Could it be because the men would have a physical advantage over her? Then it makes sense where this whole non-binary show is coming from.
