Natasha Lawyer's ceramics sales have taken a nosedive due to tariffs, forcing her to take a side job to make ends meet. (Submitted by Natasha Lawyer)A Kentville, N. S., woman says she has had to take on a side job to make ends meet because the Canada-U. S. trade war has cratered sales for her ceramics business. Natasha Lawyer said Sugarhouse Ceramic Co. two years ago brought in $4,000 US to $5,000 US a month from U. S. sales, which accounted for 80 per cent of her total customer base. Last month, her U.

Class Action in Rough Halifax Plane Landing Certified in Supreme Court - VOCM
The Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador has certified a class action on behalf of passengers on board Air Canada Flight AC 2259 which landed hard at Halifax in December of 2025 after the plane’s landing gear collapsed. The flight had taken off from St. John’s International earlier that evening, and officials at YYT later confirmed that debris was found on one of its runways after the flight took off. They wouldn’t say at the time whether the discovery was related to the incident at Halifax. The class action names Air Canada, Provincial Aerospace Ltd, St. John’s International Airport Authority and the Halifax International Airport Authority, all of whom have consented to certification. Stephen Barnes of Bob Buckingham Law says they want to understand what went wrong that night and make sure that passengers have an opportunity to be fairly compensated for what they went through. The case will examine whether the defendants met their responsibilities for aircraft safety, runway safety and emergency response, and whether any failures caused injury or loss to passengers.
