Earlier this month, the whale became stuck in shallow waters in Wild Cove, on the north shore of the Bay of Islands.

How employers can check whether they can submit an LMIA application.

Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) updated its unemployment-rate figures on October 9, 2026, increasing the number of affected census metropolitan areas (CMAs) from 26 to 30. The changes mean employers in Halifax, Fredericton, Kingston, St. Catharines–Niagara, Regina and Lethbridge face new restrictions on hiring foreign workers through the low-wage stream of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP). However, restrictions have been lifted in Kamloops and Chilliwack, British Columbia, after unemployment rates in both areas fell below the government’s six per cent threshold.

The Liberal government quietly ordered a pause on a modest, but important purchase of 16 U. S.-made UH-60M Black Hawk helicopters just before trade negotiations began last summer with the Trump administration, CBC News and Radio-Canada have learned.  The aircraft, which are intended for use by Canada's special forces, are manufactured by Sikorsky, a subsidiary of the U. S. defence giant Lockheed Martin. The decision to suspend the acquisition is linked to trade and diplomatic tensions with the Trump administration, according to several sources within the government and defence industry. The purchase had been signed off by the U. S. State Department agency that handles foreign military sales and was headed for congressional approval when the halt was ordered before trade negotiators met in Washington, according to two confidential sources.

The decision, the sources said, was partially related to the trade talks, which ultimately failed.

Too many Canadians continue to be homeless, often because of several contributing factors. A Statistics Canada study released last year estimated that, in 2022, about one in eight households (12.1%) reported experiencing some form of previous homelessness in their lifetime. That rate was more than double the proportion among Indigenous households (27.4%). Forms of homelessness include hidden (those without a permanent address and/or staying temporarily with others), which was the most common form, and visible (unsheltered in public spaces not meant for habitation or emergency sheltered). Using Canadian Housing Survey (CHS) data, the study examined factors contributing to regaining and maintaining housing. The study found that, in 2022, almost half of people cited more than one factor that helped them regain and maintain housing, following their most recent sheltered or unsheltered (including streets, alleys, parks and other public places) homelessness experience. Nearly one-quarter cited three or more factors, highlighting the complexity of homelessness. Financial factors were cited most often, especially income from employment.
