The Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage has called out the planned bonuses to CBC's executives after the public broadcaster announced early this month that it plans to cut jobs. "Given the job cuts announced at CBC/Radio-Canada for the year 2024, it would be inappropriate for the CBC to grant bonuses to executive members," the committee said in Parliament on Tuesday. The statement comes amid questions on whether executives of the public broadcaster would be getting bonuses after it announced that around 10% of its workforce would be laid off due to budget pressures.

San Diego could be a top real estate market in 2024 if mortgage rates drop and sales pick up, a new forecast says. She forecasts the San Diego metro, which includes all of San Diego County, will see sales increase by 11 percent in 2024 and prices will increase 5.4 percent. The top market was Toledo, Ohio, which the website said would see 14 percent sales growth and 8.3 percent price growth. It was followed by Oxnard (18 percent sales increase, 3.3 percent price growth) and Rochester, New York (sales up 6.2 percent, 10.4 percent price growth). Lawrence Yun, chief economist at the National Association of Realtors, was less optimistic about high-cost markets like San Diego.

Nova Scotia-based Canadian cannabis advocate Chris Enns has been targeted by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) audit, which claims that Enns didn’t report $2.5 million in taxes from illegal cannabis-related income. CBC.ca reports that the program includes 80 auditors to target illegal businesses. The case targets Enns and 59147 Nova Scotia Ltd., which controls operations for the Grow Shop, an industrial park in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. CBC.ca believes that Enns’ is being targeted because he was arrested on trafficking charges when police raided his cannabis businesses in 2013 and 2014. Judicial Committee of the Privy Council ruled that an Ontario “garage owner” was trafficking liquor and was forced to pay income tax on illegal sales.

This document will help guide climate policies and commitments, and a new stocktake will take place every five years. In place of calls to phase out fossil fuels, the document instead states that parties could take actions to reduce “both consumption and production of fossil fuels, in a just, orderly and equitable manner so as to achieve net zero by, before, or around 2050 in keeping with the science.”Canada, the U.S., the U.K., Japan, and Australia are part of an umbrella group of nations demanding stronger commitments to transition off fossil fuels. The Climate Action Tracker, an independent scientific project monitoring climate progress, said in a recent report that current policy pathways are unchanged since the 2021 climate summit in Glasgow. Though Canada is a member of the umbrella group pushing for stronger language in the COP28 deal, it has stopped short of agreeing to fully cutting fossil fuel use. In a statement released on Dec. 12, Canada again said it is committed to “phasing out unabated fossil fuels,” meaning those which don’t use carbon capture and storage for emissions.
