The city now wants a do-over and will be seeking proposals that emphasize affordable housing as one of the uses. That requirement is prescribed in the state Surplus Land Act, which is the guiding document for the 7th and Market parcel. The city didn’t care about a project with a Ritz-Carlton and a lot of affordable housing. They want to see if they can now get more affordable housing. Bibler said she expects that there will be a lot of interest in the 7th and Market site, given its location.

Mengo Senior School will this year play at the finals of the National Post Primary Schools Championship for the first time. After several years of trying, it was Samuel Mulondo, the kits manager for the Uganda Cranes who delivered the much needed success. The coach now believes that this qualification can be a stepping stone for the school. “I believe this is just the start and I hope we can use this as a stepping stone for further developments.” He said. Mengo SS joined Kibuli SS, Uganda Martyrs, Kawempe Muslim and Old Kampala SS as the five schools that will represent Kampala at this year’s National Post Primary Championship in Fort Portal.

OTTAWA - If Pierre Poilievre wants to “defund the CBC” while maintaining its French-language programming, he’ll have to overhaul the country’s broadcasting law in order to do it. Past Conservative leaders have also taken aim at the CBC, which receives its share of public money through Parliament when MPs vote on its federal budget. Poilievre’s pitch to strip the CBC of its public funding is widely popular among Conservatives and earned loud cheers from the crowds who packed rooms to see him during last year’s leadership campaign. In 2021-22, the CBC received more than $1.2 billion in government funding, a decrease from about $1.4 billion in 2020-21. It also draws a distinction between “government” and “public” funding because of the fact that the money it receives is granted through a vote made in Parliament.

In the event of a strike, some employees will be deemed essentialHundreds of federal public servants in the North could walk off the job as part of a Canada-wide labour disruption in the next 58 days. There are about 600 federal employees across Nunavut, N.W.T. and the Yukon who are now in a legal position to strike after the union representing them voted in favour of a strike mandate. The workers poised to strike come from four different bargaining units: program and administrative services (which is the largest bargaining unit in the core federal public service), operational services, technical services and education and library services. Rousseau said the public might feel the effects of a strike or a lockout the most at Services Canada, Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada, and at RCMP detachments.

OTTAWA -If Pierre Poilievre wants to "defund the CBC" while maintaining its French-language programming, he'll have to overhaul the country's broadcasting law in order to do it. Past Conservative leaders have also taken aim at the Crown corporation, which receives its share of public money through Parliament when MPs vote on its federal budget. Poilievre's pitch to strip the CBC of its public funding is widely popular among Conservatives and earned loud cheers from the crowds who packed rooms to see him during last year's leadership campaign. "Almost everything the CBC does can be done in the marketplace these days because of technology," he told host Andrew Lawton. "I'm not sure politicians really want to go down the (road of) ... 'We are going to give francophones better service with public money than we're going to give anglophones,"' he said.

From Swedish singer-songwriter The Tallest Man on Earth (aka Kristian Matsson) comes an enchanting, upbeat third single, “Looking for Love,” from his forthcoming album, Henry St. For the track, Matsson worked with producer Nick Sanborn of Sylvan Esso. “The first day in the studio, Nick created this hissing noise while I was feedbacking electric guitar,” Matsson shares in a statement about the song’s origin. “We had so much fun jamming like that. Then Nick put down some piano to overdub my guitar, and we knew we had the song.”

VANCOUVER - Canada’s federal health minister says he’s working with provinces to prevent the mass exportation of essential medications after thousands of doses of the diabetes and weight-loss drug Ozempic were shipped from British Columbia to the United States. Jean-Yves Duclos says the level of “abuse” was “outrageous” after a Texas-based doctor with a licence to practise in Nova Scotia wrote 17,000 prescriptions for the drug that were filled by two pharmacies in B.C. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Nova Scotia says it suspended the doctor’s licence on an interim basis after learning of the prescriptions. Duclos says legal ways to prevent medications being exported in mass quantities in future will be explored through the Food and Drugs Act. Dix says assistant deputy health ministers from both the federal and provincial governments have met to discuss preserving Ozempic supplies for Canadians and will be looking for permanent solutions.

McGill has been named to the Montreal’s Top Employers list for the 15th consecutive year. For Diana Dutton, Associate Vice-Principal, Human Resources, the key to the University’s success is commitment – employee commitment to McGill and McGill’s commitment to employees. “McGill University maintains an action plan to address anti-black racism and is committed to increasing the representation and career opportunities for Black administrative and support staff as well as tenure-track or tenured professors (with targets for 2025 and 2032),” read the citation. Top Employers also highlighted McGill’s family-friendly benefits, from maternity leave top-up payments for new mothers to parental top-up for adoptive parents. The list compares employers to other organizations in their field to determine which offer the most progressive and forward-thinking programs.

Economic reconciliation is central to Canada’s efforts to reach carbon net zero — and in the energy sector, it makes good business sense. Many challenges presented themselves, including navigating our way out of the Indian Act and developing a land management regime under the First Nations Lands Management Act (FNLMA). First Nations must have an active leadership role and an equity stake in clean energy projects. An equity stake supports self-determination and provides a path to economic reconciliation. Wayne McQuabbie is the chief of Henvey Inlet First Nation; Gregory Newton and John Beaucage serve as CEO and vice president, respectively, of Nigig Power Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Henvey Inlet First Nation.

Despite its stated intention, Elon Musk’s Twitter is in fact contributing to misinformation by labelling U.S. outlet National Public Radio as “government-funded media,” one expert says. “NPR literally said ‘Federal funding is essential to public radio’ on their own website (now taken down). “Guess they won’t mind losing Federal funding in that case ... Defund NPR!”A day earlier, Canadian Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre asked Twitter in a letter to label CBC accounts as “government-funded” media. That is why I’m asking Twitter and Elon Musk to accurately label CBC as ‘government-funded media,’” Poilievre tweeted on Tuesday. Correction — April 13, 2023: Jeffrey Dvorkin is a senior fellow at Massey College, and a former managing editor at CBC Radio and vice-president of news and information at NPR.

The U.S. Treasury Department awarded more than $10 million to three San Diego County Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) to bolster pandemic recovery and small business lending in low-income regions. Vice President Kamala Harris announced on Monday that more than $1.73 billion would go to 603 CDFIs across the country. “This dollar amount is extraordinary.”Many of the federally backed loans Neighborhood National Bank provides go to businesses hit hard by the pandemic. Their clients include minority-owned businesses like restaurants, gas stations and markets in Southeastern San Diego and Imperial County. Phillips said funds may also go toward loans to housing developers tackling San Diego’s housing needs by building low-income and middle-income homes.
