Have you been trying to recover a payout from airlines after submitting a complaint to Canadian Transportation Agency? Well, that delay in the process may be for a reason, according to new documents obtained under Access to Information requests. CBC News reported that the CTA proposed charging airlines $790 for each eligible passenger complaint as a way to offset costs and reduce a growing backlog. Records obtained through access-to-information requests show repeated requests from Transport Canada officials asking the CTA to delay or reconsider the fee. By May 2025, the CTA informed then-transport minister Chrystia Freeland that it was ready to move ahead with the fee.

Judge Wayne Gorman granted a peace bond earlier this month to a young woman from Corner Brook. “Rather than conducting an investigation, the police recommended that a peace bond be obtained,” Gorman wrote. Again, instead of conducting an investigation and laying charges, police recommended she take her son to court to obtain a peace bond. (Colleen Connors/CBC )In the most recent case, Gorman said the advice given by police — to take her ex to court — could have placed the young woman at significant risk of harm. When one party decides to contest a peace bond, the case goes to trial — as it did for the young woman in Corner Brook.

TORONTO — A push to compel airlines to pay for passenger complaints resolved by the Canadian Transportation Agency has so far gone nowhere, highlighted by the CBC’s investigative unit, Go Public. Internal government documents, obtained by Go Public via an Access to Information request, suggest that Transport Canada, under two different Transport Ministers, “repeatedly intervened in the work of the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA), which is supposed to operate independently and was directed by Parliament to introduce a cost-recovery fee on airlines,” according to the CBC. In September 2024 the CTA launched a one-month consultation on the proposed reforms, which would apply to valid customer complaints processed and settled by the regulator. According to the proposal, airlines would be charged $790 for each passenger complaint resolved by the CTA, regardless of which party wins the dispute.

In addition, the United States and Denmark signed the 1951 Greenland defence agreement, two years after forming NATO, which allowed the U.S. to host military bases in Greenland. U.S. ownership would not change who can sail beside Greenland, or the ability of American ships to operate in those waters. Expanding our own Arctic presence and capabilities may further assuage American concerns about the region’s vulnerability to Russian and Chinese intervention. Any arguments or solutions — such as highlighting the valuable defence co-operation among NATO allies — must be directed at Americans themselves.

Greenland’s government said on Monday it will increase its efforts to ensure that the defense of the Arctic territory takes place under the auspices of NATO, and again rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s ambition to take over the island. Trump has said the United States must own Greenland, an autonomous part of the Kingdom of Denmark, to prevent Russia or China occupying the strategically located and minerals-rich territory in the future. “All NATO member states, including the United States, have a common interest in the defense of Greenland,” the island’s coalition government said in a statement. The European Union’s Commissioner for Defence and Space Andrius Kubilius warned on Monday that a U.S. military takeover of Greenland would be the end of NATO. Experts weigh in, Eye on the Arctic

Oleh Zadoretskyy's daughters are now nine and 14 and consider Halifax home. They feared Russia would invade the Baltic country as well and applied to come to Canada, where Zadoretskyy's brother-in-law is a citizen. In a statement, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada said "Canada is regaining control of its immigration system in order to restore balance and sustainability, while continuing to meet its humanitarian commitments." The statement said the number of Ukrainian applications outnumber the number of spots available in the immigration levels plan.
