Executives from Air Canada, WestJet and Sunwing are apologizing for the mass flight disruptions thousands of travellers endured in December 2022. What the execs were blaming for the chaos, and what one Saskatchewan couple did after their Caribbean vacation was cancelled. A hazardous waste facility in St. Catharines, Ontario has erupted in flames, forcing people out of nearby houses and businesses. The investigation, the challenges for firefighters, and why some residents won’t be able to return home for at least one night. After a year-long search at the site of a former residential school, the Star Blanket Cree Nation in Saskatchewan has discovered more than 2,000 “anomalies,” with some believed to be unmarked graves. The long road ahead to finishing the investigation, as Human Rights Watch give Canada’s treatment of Indigenous people another failing grade. Wenzhou Friendship Society, a British Columbia group with charitable status in Canada, is part of an RCMP investigation into activities allegedly targeting members of the Chinese-Canadian community. Police in Canada are just starting to untangle what’s alleged to be a state-security apparatus operating out of handful of centres. And stranded in space: Russia’s risky rescue mission to the International Space Station.
