      Farmer frustrated about missing climate action in Sask. budget

      The words "climate change" show up once in Saskatchewan's latest budget document, but only in the context of how budget pressure will be driven by — among other things — federal climate change policy. The Saskatchewan government is projecting a $1-billion surplus for 2023-24, opting to use that money to pay down debt and touting an increase to health care and education spending, but a Saskatoon climate activist and farmer says he is frustrated with the lack of money earmarked to fight climate ch

      MI5 hikes Northern Ireland terror threat level to 'severe'

      LONDON (AP) — The U.K.’s MI5 intelligence service on Tuesday raised the terrorism threat level in Northern Ireland’ to “severe” amid an increase in activity by dissident Irish republican militants.

      Planting a garden from seed is easy and can start now

      The catalogs have been thumbed through, and the seed racks are sprouting like weeds at local nurseries and garden centers. There is now enough daylight across the country to start garden seeds without the aid of artificial lights. Some seeds can be planted directly outdoors. Others will have to be started inside. Either way, where I come from you are not a real gardener unless you start at least one thing you grow from seed. Sure, you can always buy already started plants, but seeds give you bra

      Education sector says Sask. K-12 budget insufficient

      The Saskatchewan government increased operational funding to K-12 education by 2.5 per cent in the 2023-24 budget, but the Saskatchewan Teachers' Federation (STF) and the Saskatchewan School Boards Association (SSBA) say that falls short of what's needed. "Saskatchewan students are losing out with this budget," STF president Samantha Becotte said after the budget release on Wednesday.

      California farmers flood fields to boost groundwater basin

      A field that has long grown tomatoes, peppers and onions now looks like a wind-whipped ocean as farmer Don Cameron seeks to capture the runoff from a freakishly wet year in California to replenish the groundwater basin that is his only source to water his crops. Taking some tomatoes out of production for a year is an easy choice if it means boosting future water supplies for his farm about 35 miles (56 kilometers) southwest of Fresno.

      Unaffordable affordable homes: Rent at some single room occupancy units more than $1,000

      Across downtown Vancouver, there are more than 160 single-room occupancy [SRO] buildings that contain small single rooms, usually with a shared kitchen and bathroom facilities. The rental units serve as part of the city's affordable housing stock, typically offering a cheaper option than market rental apartments. SRO housing is often seen "as the last stop before homelessness," according to the City of Vancouver's website. But without any control measures in place, the price of rent at certain p

      Uncrewed Russian spacecraft that leaked coolant lands safely

      MOSCOW (AP) — A Russian space capsule safely returned to Earth without a crew Tuesday, months after it suffered a coolant leak in orbit. The Soyuz MS-22 leaked coolant in December while attached to the International Space Station. Russian space officials blamed the leak on a tiny meteoroid that punctured the craft's external radiator. They launched an empty replacement capsule last month to serve as a lifeboat for the crew. The damaged capsule safely landed Tuesday under a striped parachute in t

      In April 2022, a deadline loomed in the Northwest Territories village of Fort Simpson. Somehow, the community needed to pay back a massive loan for a new church. The problem had begun years earlier. Almost a century after it was built, Fort Simpson's Sacred Heart Church was beginning to fall apart. Originally constructed in 1920, the building had welcomed generations of residents to be baptized, married and eulogized within its walls. It also carried other reminders of the past.

      BIPOC USHR unsurprised as P.E.I.'s number of hate crimes doubles

      A rise in the number of hate crimes on P.E.I. is not at all surprising, local advocates say. Nineteen cases of hate-motivated crimes were reported by police in 2021, data from Statistics Canada shows. That's more than double the number of cases reported the year previous — eight cases were reported in 2020. The increase means the rate of police-reported hate crimes on P.E.I. per 100,000 people is now the highest in the country. They represent 11.6 cases per 100,000 people, compared to 8.8 cases

      Canada steps up clean tech investments in budget to compete with US

      Canada on Tuesday sought to close competitive gaps with United States with a budget aimed at attracting investment in the low-carbon economy, including tax incentives for electric-vehicle (EV) manufacturers and expanding the electricity grid. The 2023-2024 fiscal document, delivered to the House of Commons, also has a "grocery rebate" for 11 million low-income Canadians, an expansion of dental care to households, and investments in healthcare announced earlier this year. The small New Democrat Party, whose support keeps Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's minority government in power, in a statement welcomed the grocery rebate and dental care measures.
