      No security threat from RCMP's dealings with China-linked firm, minister tells MPs

      OTTAWA — Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino says there is no reason to believe Canada's national security was under threat at any time due to the RCMP's dealings with an Ontario company that has links to China. Mendicino tried on Monday to reassure members of a House of Commons committee who are looking at the RCMP's standing offer with Sinclair Technologies for radio-frequency filtering equipment. The standing offer was suspended and a stop-work order for undelivered goods was issued last m

      Court upholds Minnesota 'Clean Car Rule' tied to California

      ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Court of Appeals on Monday upheld the state's “Clean Car Rule,” which ties the state's vehicle emission standards to California regulations, as judges accepted assurances that California's planned phaseout of gasoline-powered cars won't automatically apply in Minnesota. A three-judge panel rejected the arguments of Minnesota's auto dealers, who argued that state pollution regulators exceeded their authority and unconstitutionally delegated their rulemaking au

      It doesn’t matter what the groundhogs say.

      Judge says Federal Court lacks jurisdiction for Uyghur genocide case

      OTTAWA — A Federal Court judge has thrown out a Uyghur group's attempt to sue the Liberal government over its lack of response to a possible genocide in China. The judge says courts can only rule on whether the government is following existing laws and policies, instead of delving into global agreements. The Uyghur Rights Advocacy Project had asked the Federal Court to find that Ottawa was breaching a United Nations convention against genocide by ignoring events in China. Two years ago, the Hous

      Treasury to increase borrowing amid debt ceiling standoff

      WASHINGTON (AP) — The Treasury Department said Monday it plans to increase its borrowing during the first three months of 2023, even as the federal government is bumping up against a $31.4 trillion limit on its legal borrowing authority. The U.S. plans to borrow $932 billion during the January-to-March quarter. That's $353 billion more than projected last October, due to a lower beginning-of-quarter cash balance and projections of lower-than-expected income tax receipts and higher spending. The

      Ontario hospital nurses start contract talks, plan 'escalating actions'

The nurses, and other broader public sector workers, have been subject for three years to a wage restraint law known as Bill 124, which capped increases at one per cent a year. Bernie Robinson, the interim president of the ONA, said the last contract left nurses feeling disrespected and devalued. "Safe to
