Your winter tire swap deadline is closer than you think in Ontario — Here's the timeline - Inside Halton

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.

Autonomous agents are the hottest thing in AI. OpenAI, Meta, Google, Instinct, and others promise their agents can scour the internet on your behalf, doing anything from booking a dinner reservation and cleaning out your inbox to buying new shoes. But what happens when the rest of the internet won’t play nice? In recent weeks, users of services like Meta’s Muse, xAI’s Grok, OpenAI’s Dots, and Instinct have reported blocks preventing their AI agents from performing tasks across top websites. Yelp told TechCrunch that it only allows AI agents that pay for its data licensing program, while Delta Air Lines is preventing them from booking tickets on behalf of users. JPMorgan Chase and Charles Schwab have also confirmed that they’re blocking AI agents from accessing accounts due to security concerns. Some users say sites that previously worked with their AI agent are no longer accessible, including Cars.com and Amtrak, suggesting other companies could be quietly blocking them. Amazon was already fighting off AI agents last year when it banned Perplexity’s agentic shopping feature and sued the AI startup, raising legal and practical questions about the future of agents on the web.

Mr. El-Sayed has condemned Donald Trump’s 'disastrous' tariffs. Rebecca Cook/ReutersIn Maine, it’s the importance of Canadian concrete and road salt. In New Hampshire, it’s the disappearance of Canadian tourists. In Michigan, it’s Labatt beer and the weirdness of a trade war waged against an unassuming neighbour. In Minnesota, it’s the rising cost of construction materials imported from Canada. In Montana, it’s the cost of fertilizer. In Idaho, it’s worries about dairy exports to Canada. Across the continent-spanning sweep of the U. S. northern border, Canada is on the lips of candidates and voters as they near an election that will determine the balance of the country’s legislative power. Not for many decades – if ever – has this country occupied such an important place in the political debate south of the border. The introduction of Canada to American political conversation was, initially, the work of President Donald Trump, who accused Canada of shipping fentanyl into the U.
