Sudden snowfall snarls traffic in some parts of B.C.'s Lower Mainland
Heavy snow hit Metro Vancouver on Thursday, causing delays, collisions, and spin-outs on major routes. Vancouver Fire Rescue Services urged people not to drive unless necessary, particularly on hills. Approximately 30 vehicles crashed in the city, and a crash involving over 25 vehicles occurred on Highway 91 in Richmond. Slippery conditions led to the closure of the southbound counterflow lane of the George Massey Tunnel, reopening after plowing and salting. A transit bus lost traction on Highway 1 in North Vancouver, causing delays. TransLink reported detours and delays on bus routes and the SkyTrain's Millennium Line. Despite challenges, Environment Canada indicated that the worst of the snowstorm was over. The City of North Vancouver deployed trucks for road salting, and crews worked to clear roads overnight.

City has settled $23M in Westboro bus crash claims, but more remain
Five years after the tragic double-decker bus crash that killed three passengers and injured dozens more, the City of Ottawa's outside lawyers are still mediating claims and have paid out more than $23.5 million. While most of that cost is borne by its insurers, the city is responsible for a $6-million deductible.
Twenty cases stemming from the Jan. 11, 2019, tragedy have already been settled, including those brought by the families of Judy Booth, Bruce Thomlinson and Anja Van Beek.

He drives an electric truck in Yellowknife, but his home can't handle the charger it came with
When Ben Baird purchased a fully electric truck, he expected to install the Level 2 charger it came with at his Yellowknife home.
Ford's F150 Lightning comes with an 80 amp charger. It would have required Baird to upgrade the 100 amp panel in his home to a 200 amp panel — an expense he was prepared to pay.
But in order to provide that level of power to his home, Baird said, power distributor Northland Utilities told him he'd have to pay $12,000 to upgrade the transformer in his neighbourhood as well.
"It was not something that I was expecting," said Baird.

As weather-related disasters mount, some Canadian homeowners can't get insurance coverage
After heavy rain last May, artist Humberto Pinochet faced devastating floods in Baie-Saint-Paul, Quebec, resulting in the complete loss and demolition of his home. The floods in this region contributed to 2023's extreme weather insurance claims becoming the fourth-highest on record, surpassing $3 billion in insured losses for the second consecutive year, as per a report by the Insurance Bureau of Canada. The findings highlight the increasing economic impact of climate change-induced severe weather events and the escalating challenges homeowners face in obtaining affordable insurance coverage or coverage at all.

2 major storm systems are expected to hit parts of Canada
Two storm systems are poised to hit Canadian coasts, bringing snow, rain, and high-speed winds after a mild December. A Texas low from the U.S. prompts winter storm warnings in provinces like Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada, with variable snowfall expectations.
Southern Ontario may get 5-10 cm of snow, washed away by 20-30 mm of rain. Northern regions like Sudbury and Timmins could see 20-30 cm. Quebec faces snow and ice pellets, while Atlantic Canada anticipates snow, rain, and increased winds, reaching 60-90 km/h. Freezing rain is possible in parts of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and P.E.I. Newfoundland's western coast might experience gusts of 130-150 km/h.

Roundabout, special U-turn among options proposed for site of Manitoba highway crash that killed 17
A roundabout, a wider median and a setup that forces drivers to make a U-turn instead of turning left are all options to improve safety at a southwestern Manitoba highway intersection that was the site of a deadly crash in June.
Those options are in a new report released Monday on the safety of the intersection of Highway 5 and the Trans-Canada Highway near the town of Carberry, Man.
The report was commissioned following a collision there on June 15 between a semi-trailer truck and a bus full of seniors on a day trip to a casino. The crash killed 17 people and injured eight others.
Another crash at the same intersection the following month injured three people when a pickup truck collided with a sport utility vehicle, causing both to collide with a third vehicle.

Switch carriers? How? Ottawa gives mixed messages over rising mobile prices
Even as the minister responsible admitted there aren't enough competitive options for mobile service in Canada, another federal official said consumers can and should search for other service providers when faced with price increases.
That message — from Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED) Canada — came just hours after the Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne said Canadians "still pay too much and see too little competition" for cellular services.
"Customers could consider switching service providers," an ISED Canada representative wrote Thursday, when asked for a response to price increases at Rogers Communications and reported hikes at Bell.
Rogers said earlier this week some of its wireless customers will see increases of less than $7 to $9 per month in the coming weeks. On Friday, it said the average increase will be $5.
Some customers have reported that Bell is raising the monthly cost of their existing wireless plans in February. This was first reported by tech news outlet MobileSyrup.

Why some homeless Edmontonians choose to camp outside the inner city
As a snowstorm blows in around him, Anson Palmer makes his way through a camp set up on the side of Gateway Boulevard.
Tucked into trees and sandwiched between the busy roadway and construction fencing, a tarp hangs as a wind block for a tent. Wood scraps, bags and cardboard are also piled around the site.
Palmer is one of the many homeless people who have set up camp far from shelters and social agencies, which are largely concentrated around Edmonton's downtown.
On this snowy Tuesday, Palmer is just visiting. His friend lives in the tent. Palmer cycled over to check that he was staying warm, and helped him set up a wood stove.

The burning of St. Gregory's, a century-old Catholic church on the Osoyoos Indian Band reserve in central B.C. Chief Clarence Louie expresses anger over the arson, suspecting local youth from area reserves. Similar incidents occurred, with 33 Canadian churches burning since May 2021; 24 were deliberate, possibly influenced by Canada's colonial history and revelations of potential burial sites at residential schools. No one has been charged in the Osoyoos or Penticton fires.

Bowled over: Why some Canadians are feeling duped by their breakfast cereal
Ken Bennett, an avid hiker and recreational hockey player, wanted a cereal packed with protein. So last month, he picked up Kellogg's Vector. Bold lettering on the box declares that it has "high protein" — more specifically, that it "provides 13 g of protein" per serving.
"[It's] actually pretty high for a breakfast cereal. That's why I bought it," said Bennett, who lives in Chilliwack, B.C.
He felt good about his choice — until he noticed the fine print on the box one morning during breakfast.
The fine print reveals that a serving of Vector flakes alone contains just 5.6 grams of protein. The rest of the advertised 13 grams comes from the recommended 200 millilitres of skim milk to be added to the flakes.
"I felt tricked. I felt duped," said Bennett. "I took it for face value that these breakfast cereal flakes had 13 grams of protein."

Trudeau says government looking at ways to designate Iran's IRGC a terrorist organization
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has stated that the Canadian government is exploring ways to designate Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization. Trudeau mentioned this during a ceremony commemorating the victims of Flight PS752, which was downed by the IRGC in 2020. While the government has taken previous steps to address IRGC actions, Trudeau indicated a commitment to finding responsible ways to list the IRGC as a terrorist organization. The decision is significant, considering past resistance to such a designation due to concerns about its potential broad impact.

New study investigates threat of 'watermelon snow' to mountain glaciers
"Watermelon snow," caused by red algae, is accelerating glacial melt in North America, according to a study led by researcher Lynne Quarmby. The red-pigmented algae, thriving in near-freezing temperatures, contributes to glacial melt by darkening snow, absorbing carbon dioxide.
The study covered over 4,000 square kilometers, estimating the algae contributed three centimeters of meltwater per season. While impactful, the broader threat comes from climate change. As temperatures rise, the disappearing snow will mean the loss of a valuable ecosystem scientists are just beginning to understand.

Quebec, public sector unions reach agreement in principle on wages, working conditions
After weeks of negotiations, Quebec's common front of public sector unions, known as the Front commun in French, is one step closer to ending its strike. It reached an agreement in principle with the provincial government on both pay and working conditions.
At a news conference on Sunday, the common front, which represents about 420,000 public sector heath-care and education workers, announced that it had reached the agreement at the end of December.
It said the next step is for its members to sign off on the agreement.
On salaries, the common front leaders have agreed to a 17.4 per cent increase over five years, with a six per cent increase for the first year — what it calls the largest salary bump since 1979 — retroactive to April 1, 2023.
That's lower than the 20 per cent the common front called for when workers first hit the picket lines, but higher than the 12.7 per cent over five years the Quebec government proposed in early December and nearly double the 9 per cent Quebec proposed the previous year leading up to the strike.

Canadian airlines, including Air Canada, WestJet, Flair Airlines, and Lynx Air, have stated that they don't operate the Boeing 737-9 Max jetliners that were recently grounded by U.S. regulators after an Alaska Airlines plane experienced a blowout during flight. The incident involved a 737-9 Max jetliner, while the Canadian carriers primarily use the 737-8 Max jetliners, which have different configurations. Transport Canada had grounded Boeing 737 Max aircraft in 2019, but the order was lifted in January 2021.
