The latest phase is expected to run until mid-March, at which point the sensors will be removed from the desks, Justice Canada spokesperson Ian McLeod said in an email. The timing raised concern among many Department of Justice (DOJ) employees that the sensors could eventually be used to track their compliance with the government’s return-to-office policy. According to the memo and a Justice Canada spokesperson, they are used to track workplace use for planning purposes only, not for attendance. Heat and motion together help ensure the information is accurate while remaining anonymous.”But despite their employer’s assurances, many Justice Canada employees simply don’t believe it. But he argued that it’s within an employer’s rights to track office usage and employee attendance, within certain limits.

Premier Danielle Smith wants to hold a referendum in October on measures to limit immigration to Alberta and changes she believes would give the province more rights under the Constitution. Smith blamed the shortfall on low oil prices and “out-of-control federal immigration policies.”While Alberta will need to make cuts, Smith said there will be no “drastic” slashing of social services.

The armed group piloted drones while rifle-wielding men, on the back of pickup trucks, roamed the area during the day, said the former Panuco Project workers. Vehicles with the Vizsla Silver Corp. logo are seen parked inside the Celmentina gated residential compound. The site, sealed by Sinaloa's state Attorney General's Office, is believed to be the place where 10 Vizsla Silver workers were kidnapped on Jan. 23. Vizsla Sliver's on-site management also dismissed, downplayed or mocked concerns from workers, said the former Panuco Project workers.

Nicholas Barz was one of the Lunenburg District RCMP officers dispatched to look for an emu wandering around a back road at night. "They're pretty tall and they have pretty long claws and quite the beak on them so I was being pretty cautious. The officer said he tried herding the bird with his baton, but the emu had other ideas and took off into the woods. “I still haven't found out the correct way to wrangle an emu but maybe next time I'll have more experience," Barz said.

As expected, perceived frontrunner Avi Lewis took the brunt of the attacks, which he shrugged off as “dim sparks” in his closing statement. Edmonton MP Heather McPherson and union leader Rob Ashton also looked to break through in what’s widely considered a three-way race. The 2016 Leap Manifesto debacle has left lasting scars with some in the Alberta NDP. Shannon Phillips, who was Alberta’s environment minister at the time, called the Leap Manifesto an “exercise in privileged political vanity” and “piece of self-indulgent posturing” in a recent blog post. ‘Violent agreement’ on electoral reformAll five candidates said they favoured changing Canada’s first-past-the-post electoral system, with Lewis trotting out 2012 NDP leadership candidate Nathan Cullen’s old “violent agreement” line to characterize the consensus.

While it is unclear whether Smith’s proposed referendum would pass legal challenge, Smith’s promise of a referendum later this year points to growing frustrations among Albertans over soaring immigration rates. “The changes we need to make to immigration are a significant departure from the status quo, and therefore, I am seeking a referendum mandate from Albertans to implement them,” Smith said. For those who are not eligible, the third referendum question proposes charging a fee to non-residents who use social support programs. Smith said she was broadly supportive of immigration into the province, saying Canada’s system had for years been a “huge strength” to Alberta and other provinces. In the second quarter of 2022, 32,090 residents came to Alberta from other provinces, the province’s most ever.

A third-generation Indigenous basket maker is setting the record straight about his craft — it's a part of his culture, it's valuable, and artists can make a living off of it. Spencer Lunham Jr. makes both utility baskets and traditional fancy baskets, he said, the latter featuring intricate colourful designs. Using traditional methods to gather and prepare the black ash wood for weaving is a day-long process, Spencer Lunham Jr. said. Basket weaving is an important craft, he said, and just one part of a larger phenomenon taking place in Indigenous communities: the revival of their own cultural traditions and languages. One of the most recent baskets that Spencer Lunham Jr. completed.
