Canada likely to drop vaccine requirement for entry by September: Official

Canada will likely drop the vaccine requirement for people who enter Canada by the end of September, an official familiar with the matter told The Associated Press on Tuesday. Canada, like the United States, requires all people to be vaccinated when entering the country. It is not immediately known whether the U.S. will make a similar move by September 30. The official said that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau needs to give final sign off on it but that the government will likely be dropping the requirement as well as ending random COVID-19 testing at airports. Filling out information in the unpopular ArriveCan app will also no longer be required. The official spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter. Unvaccinated professional athletes like major league baseball players would be allowed to play in Toronto in the playoffs should the Blue Jays make the postseason. They currently are not allowed to cross the border into Canada. When ne

Canada's Conservative party elects populist Pierre Poilievre as new leader

Canada's opposition Conservative Party has elected its go-to attack dog as its new party leader. Pierre Poilievre is a firebrand populist who opposes vaccine mandates and blames Canada's inflation on Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He won the party leadership on the first ballot on Saturday, defeating a moderate, centrist candidate with 68% of the votes cast by the party's members. The 43-year-old Poilievre is a career politician and was a Cabinet minister in then Prime Minister Stephen Harper's government. He embraced Canadians who were against vaccine mandates and supported the freedom truck convoy that paralysed Canada's capital and blockaded the border with the US. Tonight begins the journey to replace an old government that costs you more and delivers you less with a new government that puts you first, Poilievre said. By tackling Liberal inflation we will put you back in control of your life and your money. Poilievre won the party base, attracted large crowds and signed

Judge restores oil lease on land sacred to Native Americans in US, Canada

A federal judge ordered the Biden administration to reinstate a drilling lease that has been in dispute for decades on land near the Blackfeet Indian Reservation that is considered sacred to Native American tribes in the US and Canada. The 10-square-mile (25-square-kilometer) oil and gas lease in the Badger-Two Medicine area of northwestern Montana was first issued in 1982. It was cancelled in 2016 under then-US Interior Secretary Sally Jewell, at the request of the Blackfoot tribes and conservation groups. There have been efforts to declare the area a national monument or make it a cultural heritage area, and tribal leaders have bitterly opposed drilling in recent decades. But US District Judge Richard Leon on Friday said Jewell lacked the authority to withdraw the lease so many years after it was sold and after several prior studies examined the environmental and other impacts of drilling in the area. He ordered Interior Department officials to reinstate the lease and a issue a .

Canada stabbings suspect has long criminal records, community blames drugs

As a Canadian Indigenous community comes to grips with a deadly stabbing rampage by two of its own, many blamed rampant drug and alcohol use on the reserve that they linked to repeated failures by the government over many years. One of the alleged attackers, Myles Sanderson, has 59 criminal convictions, according to parole documents. He'd been serving a sentence of four years and four months on charges that included assault with a weapon, assault on a peace officer and robbery when he was released. Public Safety Minister Mendicino said he's been told by the parole board there will be an investigation into its assessment of Myles Sanderson. I want the know the reasons behind the decision" to release him, he said. I'm extremely concerned with what occurred here. Many of his past crimes happened when he was intoxicated, and he told parole officials substance use made him out of his mind. He had been sought for a parole violation since May. The drug problem and the alcohol problem o

Fears run high as police search home for stabbing suspect in Canada

Canadian authorities are reporting a possible sighting of the suspect in a series of deadly stabbings on the Indigenous reserve that was the scene of many of the crimes. An Associated Press reporter heard people screaming and running on Tuesday afternoon and saw police surround a home on the James Smith Cree First Nation. An emergency alert to phones warned people to shelter in place. It's not clear if the remaining fugitive, Myles Sanderson, is inside the house. Police have been saying they believed he was in a different part of the province. The other suspect, his brother, Damien, was found dead Monday near the stabbing sites. Authorities are investigating whether Myles Sanderson killed his brother. The series of stabbings killed 11 and wounded 18 people.

Canadian police search Saskatchewan province for suspects in stabbing case

Canadian police searched across the expansive province of Saskatchewan for two suspects believed to have stabbed to death 10 people in an Indigenous community and a nearby town in one of the deadliest mass killings in the country's history. The suspects also injured 15 people in the series of knife attacks that led the James Smith Cree Nation to declare a state of emergency and badly shook residents of the nearby village of Weldon. No one in this town is ever going to sleep again. They're going to be terrified to open their door," said Weldon resident Ruby Works, who was close to one of the victims. Police, meanwhile, said a vehicle reportedly carrying the two suspects had been spotted in Regina, about 335 km (208 miles) south of the communities where the stabbings occurred. Regina police chief Evan Bray said late Sunday they still believe the suspects are in Regina. If in the Regina area, take precautions & consider sheltering in place. Do not leave a secure location.
