An estimated 39 acres of farmland is being lost to development each day on the Island. "We are gradually changing the landscape that supports farming and attracts tourists," federation policy advisor Satyajit Sen told the committee. We cannot turn back the clock, but we can do things differently in the future — Satyajit Sen, Federation of P.E.I. The department said the first step in that plan development is the release of the State of the Island report, expected by the end of March. "We cannot restore… the landscapes that we have altered or bring back the farmland that we have lost," Sen said.

Bill C-18—the Online News Act—received royal assent on June 22, 2023, and will take full effect by December 19, 2023. As many Indigenous communities are located in isolated regions, Meta’s ban on sharing news content due to Canada’s Bill C-18 makes it more difficult for such communities to access timely news reports. She referred to over 600 wildfires in the Northwest Territories and part of British Columbia—a region home to many Indigenous people. While Powless hopes that Meta will end its ban, the technology giant has taken steps to end news availability on its Canadian platforms. In response, the federal government has suspended all advertising on Facebook and Instagram from July onwards—when the government deemed Facebook uncooperative.

Trusted news and verified information from independent public service media has never been more important, nor more challenging to produce, warned the DG8, a group of eight international public media organizations, at the conclusion of its annual summit. News content blocking by intermediaries such as social media platforms and public authorities, which results in restricted access to audiences and decreased audience reach by public service media. The DG8 will also study the impact of blocking access to public media content and consider the implications for other countries. Collectively, DG8 members generate more than 1.5 billion user contacts every week in more than 75 languages, giving them a significant journalistic impact worldwide. Through their delivery of professional, balanced and verified news and information, DG8 members are at the forefront of the fight against fake news, content manipulation and propaganda.

An Alaska-based project has found salmon spawning in the Arctic Ocean watershed, suggesting that climate change is pushing certain salmon species into new areas. “In the Arctic, the water is getting warm enough and they’re starting to blink on.”To do the research, scientists studied 100 chum salmon on two rivers on Alaska’s North Slope, the Arctic part of the state. The Anaktuvuk and Itkillik rivers flow into the Colville River, which empties into the Arctic Ocean. The researchers noticed the conditions were similar to where salmon reproduce in the their usual habitats. The scientists are also analysing salmon bone and tissue to see if they’ve been in Arctic waters their whole lives.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Easter weekend vacation in Montana cost taxpayers nearly a quarter of a million dollars, CBC News has learned — far more than the sum reported to Parliament. Anthony Guglielmi, chief of communications for the U.S. Secret Service, said the Secret Service does not consider the motorcade as a gift. Federal law mandates that the United States Secret Service provide protection to any heads of state while on U.S. soil, he wrote in an email response. Guglielmi said information on the cost of the protection the Secret Service provided Trudeau was not readily available. As was the case with previous prime ministers, when travelling for personal reasons, the prime minister and any guests travelling with him reimburse an equivalent commercial airfare.

Stories produced by students in Concordia’s Department of Journalism and Kahnawake Survival School (KSS) in the Kahnawake Kanien’kehá:ka Territory will soon be featured on CBC Radio. After the stories were first broadcast in April on CBC Radio’s Let’s Go in Montreal, CBC Holiday Programming requested an hour-long show that could air network wide. She spearheads the collaboration, which is based at the Department of Journalism’s Institute for Inclusive, Investigative and Innovative Journalism (I3J). Another includes elementary school students at Kateri School in the community, singing traditional songs. “We had a few feature-type longer stories that we needed to create and most grew from KSS students’ ideas, which are great,” Snell says.

Often underappreciated is the impact on mental health and wellbeing that the climate emergency can have for Indigenous communities. This lack of response is not unique to Northern Canada. Communities are facing the layered mental health impacts of increasingly having to stay indoors after the long winter, disrupting cultural practices. These health system changes require mobilisation of funding that is not currently available, deep courage from healthcare leadership, and the true and real embodiment of the urgency we face to create change. We urgently need healthcare system transformation within Canada and abroad.

OTTAWA — As observers are looking to a slew of high-profile U.S. lawsuits that could determine if generative AI violates copyright, so is the federal government — which doesn’t know how Canadian copyright law applies to systems like ChatGPT. Martin launched last month in the United States against OpenAI is only the latest court case alleging generative artificial intelligence systems infringe copyright by using copyrighted works without permission. In Canada, it’s unclear how the Copyright Act applies to these systems, according to a briefing note from Canadian Heritage obtained through access to information. “Rights holders argue the use of unlicensed copyright-protected works in the training of AI models infringes their copyright, and that regulation is needed,” the briefing note outlined. “Many industry stakeholders wanting to promote innovation and technology will oppose any regulation of AI.

WestJet is temporarily suspending flights between Canada's two biggest cities this winter, but plans to resume service between Toronto and Montreal next spring. So they're trading off Montreal and Toronto to fly [for] longer haul Canadian flights, he said in an interview. They're using the assets that were in Montreal and Toronto now to fly other long-haul markets [and] focusing in on non-stop services to and from Calgary. Gradek says it's hard to ignore the trend that WestJet is consolidating its efforts in its backyard of Western Canada, while Air Canada beefs up in its home turf in the East. It's an evolution of the typical hub strategy, Gradek said, where WestJet will orient itself around Calgary while Air Canada centres on Toronto and Montreal.
