Canadian Army eyeing new weapons in response to lessons learned from Ukraine warOTTAWA — The war in Ukraine has identified critical gaps in the Canadian Army's ability to fight and survive on the battlefield, leading to an unanticipated rush to buy new military equipment. In an interview with The Canadian Press, Canadian Army commander Lt.-Gen. Joe Paul said that includes anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles as well as systems to protect against drones. "These are the capabilities that are making a difference right now in Ukraine," Paul said. For example, the Army has repeatedly warned that it needs weapons and other defences to protect Canadian troops from air attack. The Canadian Army currently relies on M777 howitzers for artillery support, which provide about 30-40 kilometres of worth of coverage.

Lower prices, better treatment for workers and an economy not dominated by a handful of mega-corporations. That’s the dream, at least, for some competition law reform advocates. The federal government is looking for input from experts as well as the public at large on its review of the Competition Act, which is set to wrap up on Feb. 27. As it stands, the Competition Act doesn’t mention workers as a factor to consider in mergers and job losses can actually be a positive factor for companies arguing that a takeover should be approved. Still, they said, a change to the “abuse of dominance” rules could lead to lower prices.

NHL’s Sidney Crosby, astronaut David Saint-Jacques among 99 named to Order of CanadaOTTAWA — David Saint-Jacques says he has always been "obsessed" with the notion of perspective — from the physical, like understanding where we are in space and what's beyond the clouds, to the philosophical.

Mary Simon announced Thursday that he and 98 others are being appointed to the Order of Canada. I do feel like certainly my accomplishments as an astronaut are really the result of huge teamwork," Saint-Jacques said.

© CBC News Ontario nurses Kristal Pitter, Kristen Nagle and Sara Choujounian, left to right, have faced discipline by the province's nursing regulator for their views on vaccines during the pandemic. An Ontario judge has dismissed a $1-million libel action by three nurses who faced disciplinary action for their anti-vaccine views during the pandemic, calling the plantiffs' decision to sue "puzzling" and "surprising." Ontario introduced legislation in 2015 designed to protect against such gag proceedings from using the courts to silence expression on matters of public interest. Numerous media reports about the the nurses, including articles by what the court called "high-profile media organizations." Vermette also called into question the plaintiffs' decision to sue in the first place, calling it "puzzling," given that similar information appeared in "numerous" other articles published in Canada.
