Stelco has reportedly pushed back on accusations it breached its agreement with the federal government, saying they are “false,” and it “stands ready to protect its interests.” This comes as Stelco begins laying off hundreds of workers, and faces threats of legal action from the federal government if those jobs are not preserved. The Ontario-based steel manufacturer sent a letter responding to Industry Minister Melanie Joly after she sent a letter to Cleveland-Cliffs, the U. S.-based company which acquired Stelco in 2024. She also gave the company five days to respond. Cleveland-Cliffs told Global News it sent a letter in response to Joly’s office on Oct. 9, although the response was not initially shared publicly.

A media investigation by The Outlaw Ocean Project links farmed salmon to depleted fisheries and labour abuses, but Canadian producers say it paints an outdated picture of how salmon are fed in Canada. A high-profile international investigation linking farmed salmon to depleted fisheries, pollution and labour abuses is facing pushback in Canada, where producers say it paints an outdated picture of how the fish are fed and where those ingredients come from.

As the Canadian national teams look to continue evolving with the global game, head coaches Casey Stoney, Jesse Marsch and Canada Soccer technical director Kenneth Heiner-Møller have come up with a plan. Instead of adopting different styles of play every time Canada gets a new head coach at the youth or senior levels, a national identity is being created. The hope is that grassroots coaches start teaching players to adopt styles that will eventually prepare them to play internationally. Japan is often cited as an example of a similar project that has flourished over the years.

A species can be assessed as endangered in Canada and still spend years waiting for Ottawa to decide whether to protect it — while the habitat it needs to survive keeps changing. A new study found that of 288 species assessed as at risk since 2017, just 17 reached the Governor in Council — the federal cabinet body that makes the final listing decision — within the recommended timeline. Another 153 — more than half — were overdue and still waiting as of Jan. 25, 2025. That includes populations of caribou, beluga whales and lake sturgeon that have been assessed as endangered or threatened while they wait for listing decisions that can trigger habitat protections and a recovery plan. The researchers say the bottleneck falls in a gap in the Species at Risk Act (SARA). Ottawa has recommended timelines for moving assessments forward, but no statutory deadline for one crucial stage of the process. The study doesn't say why the delays happen. Critics say the gap allows governments to put off tough choices between conservation and economic interests.

Noelle Menu, 37, says the pain began to darken her reality at a pivotal moment in her life — once she and her husband decided to try for kids, when she was 26. She stopped taking her birth control, which she had been on for a long period, and said she began experiencing pain she'd never had before. The pain came to define and limit her life, she said, and it seemed nothing could relieve it. She suffered through delays in diagnosis, as well as emergency room visits, a hysterectomy and being placed on waitlists stretching years to see specialists and receive treatment. At that point, it was "literally destroying my life," she said, "and to hear it’s about three to four years to see somebody here, I was just so emotional, so devastated. "Soon, she realized: "We can’t deal with it in Canada. "So Menu and her husband pulled from their savings and went into debt to seek private treatment at EndoGlobal in Tijuana, Mexico, which cost about $35,000 including airfare, a multi-day hotel stay and other costs.  It’s a journey some Canadian women suffering from endometriosis are taking because they feel their health-care system has failed them.
