Correspondingly, that total construction activity could decline dramatically, from approximately $31.7 billion in 2024 to just $10.4 billion by 2030. At today’s historically low sales levels, the foregone revenue for the province would be approximately $472 million per year. At traditional sales volumes, it would rise to roughly $1.4 billion annually – which is far less than the predicted fiscal consequences outlined above.

Two endangered whooping cranes found dead in fields near Saskatoon this fall tested positive for avian influenza, the first time the virus has been detected in the species’ wild bird population. This whooping crane's carcass was sent to Saskatoon's Western College of Veterinary Medicine, where pathologists confirmed avian flu. A member of the public found another dead crane about 100 kilometres northwest of the first, just as test results were confirming avian flu killed the first whooping crane. The second whooping crane was found about 100 kilometres away from the first dead bird. In September, a captive whooping crane in a Wisconsin breeding program died and was confirmed to have avian flu.

The regulations were set to kick in this year, with car companies required to hit a 20 per cent sales target. The mandate, known formally as the Electric Vehicle Availability Standard (EVAS) , is still in effect for the following years — with the target jumping to 100 per cent by 2035. Despite the government’s pledge in its Nov. 4 budget to “announce next steps on electric vehicles in the coming weeks,” there’s been no announcement yet. “Auto manufacturers are currently making critical production and potential credit purchase decisions that require clarity on EVAS,” the letter continued. WATCH | The Big Three ask for clarity on EV mandate: Automakers seek clarity on EV sales mandate | Duration 2:13 Canadian leaders of the Big Three automakers wrote to Prime Minister Mark Carney seeking clarity on Canada's electric vehicle sales targets, which were put on pause last year pending a review.

OTTAWA — A provincial policing association raised concerns about the “readiness” of a federally developed case management system to track the handing over of government-banned firearms, according to a letter sent to federal Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree. The letter, released to National Post under federal access-to-information legislation, was also sent to B.C.’s public safety minister. When it was initially launched, the federal government said it could have accepted a maximum of 200 guns. The RCMP has confirmed that its firearms program would assist in contacting affected gun owners to participate. “This is no doubt a challenging program, and appreciate all the hard work!” wrote Bryan Larkin, the force’s senior deputy commissioner.

Alberta, meanwhile, says it isn’t treating Montana any differently than it does its Canadian neighbours. Advertisement AdvertisementAdvertisement AdvertisementLast year, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative listed Alberta's non-profit electrical grid operator, the Alberta Electricity System Operator, or AESO, as a trade irritant. Zolnikov, who is chair of a Montana legislative committee studying technology and energy, said uncertainty around how transmission lines between Alberta and Montana are used is deterring investment in new infrastructure. The dispute between Alberta and Montana is tied to the practical challenges of running a modern electricity grid, said Ian Nieboer, managing director and head of energy transition research with Enverus Intelligence Research.
