The former Canada Malting plant is an iconic landmark in the Sud-Ouest borough of Montreal. (Wikimedia Commons)The owners of the Canada Malting plant in the Sud-Ouest borough say the site will soon be partially dismantled in response to collapse risks highlighted in a recent engineering report. The report, released earlier this month, found the structure represented an "imminent danger" to public safety. One of the biggest risks was deemed to be a brick facade wall that engineers warned is “hanging by a thread" after having detached from the roof, prompting concerns it could collapse onto St-Ambroise Street, potentially injuring pedestrians and damaging parked vehicles.

Federal Energy Minister Tim Hodgson speaks during a news conference in Mactaquac, N. OTTAWA — Canada can give foreign wind power companies the certainty they aren’t getting south of the border to attract billions of dollars in investments in new wind farms off Nova Scotia, Energy Minister Tim Hodgson says. “What developers want is regulatory certainty. Quite frankly, that’s what developers have not seen in the United States,” Hodgson said Thursday in an interview with the Star, after announcing Ottawa will contribute $100 million toward research on wind speeds and ocean conditions.

Sean Devine said he's feeling good about his campaign for re-election in Knoxdale-Merivale, but he isn't always hearing the same thing from people watching the race from outside. "'Hey, Sean, how's it going?'" he recalls some asking. "And they asked that question as if they heard that I got a diagnosis for a bad disease. "Past and present politicians, including some of his colleagues on city council, are coming out to support one of his challengers in Ward 9, federal public servant Anna Ielo-Tal. Devine said his gut tells him it's an organized push from outside to unseat him. "Absolutely, it does feel like the ward's being targeted from outside," he said. Devine expressed confidence that he's building on his 18-point margin from 2022, when he took the ward in old Nepean in a wide-open race with no incumbent. Now, with a record to run on, he said his door-knocking is turning up strong support and he feels he has a significant lawn sign advantage. But also he's facing a well-financed challenger in Ielo-Tal, who told CBC last week that she'd already raised about $20,000 — in the same league as the roughly $24,000 in donations Devine mentioned for his own effort.

NDP leader David Eby is being forced to defend his government’s actions after reports emerged about a confidential land deal. According to confidential documents obtained by Northern Beat, the NDP government is proposing to change compensation rules for some of the roughly 400 parcels of Crown land being transferred to First Nations ownership. Cabinet has not approved legislation but instead authorized the engagement on options for potential legislation, according to the BC NDP. The engagement is to consider an adjustment to how compensation works in the limited number of cases where transfers impact land on which there are tenure licenses. Only about half of the parcels have any potential forestry impacts, the BC NDP added. The plan was put on hold when the election was called. Forestry companies were briefed under non-disclosure agreements. Story continues below advertisement
