We'll hold Mark Carney accountable on bail reform, premiers warn
HUNTSVILLE, Ont. — Premiers from across the political spectrum are vowing to hold Prime Minister Mark Carney's feet to the fire on tougher bail rules for anyone charged with violent crimes like home invasions. Provincial leaders wrapped up their annual meeting Wednesday with notes of caution — and points of looming tension — on bail reform , immigration, asylum-seekers and health-care funding for Carney, who has enjoyed a glowing relationship with them amid an escalating trade war with U.S. President Donald Trump. Federal bail reform legislation is expected this fall. 'We talked about the need for real bail reform that keeps criminals behind bars and keeps our communities safe,' said Premier Doug Ford, who has chaired the premiers' Council of the Federation for the last year and passes the role to P.E.I Premier Rob Lantz on Aug. 1. 'Prime Minister Carney has made it clear in his comments to premiers, and we'll be holding him accountable,' added Ford, who freed up a bedroom for the PM at his cottage south of Huntsville on Monday night after a dinner with the premiers and a private chat in front of a roaring fire. 'We want full-fledged bail reform and I'd love to see mandatory sentencing so when someone breaks into your home, puts a gun to your head, terrorizes your neighbourhood, (he) doesn't get out on bail after being out on bail five times,' said the Progressive Conservative premier, who repeatedly blamed 'weak-kneed judges.' New Brunswick's Susan Holt, a Liberal, agreed on the importance of tougher restrictions on bail for 'people who do bad things' and David Eby, NDP premier of British Columbia, voiced support for a crackdown as well. 'I want to make sure intimate partner violence is a part of his (Carney's) considerations around bail reform,' Eby told reporters, calling for GPS tracking 'so that the victim is able to identify if the person is coming close to them.' In a first for the council formed in 2003, a prime minister joined the premiers at Deerhurst Resort to convene a first ministers' meeting Tuesday touching on issues of concern, while downplaying expectations for a trade deal with the U.S. by Trump's Aug. 1 deadline. 'There's a real desire to support each other, to learn from each other, and to work with the federal government that is showing a desire for collaboration and partnership that I don't think we've seen for a while,' said Holt. She told Ford that a steelmaker in New Brunswick produces I-beams for construction — something he didn't know was available from a domestic supplier as all premiers are looking for more opportunities to buy Canadian in the rush toward 'nation-building' infrastructure projects. The premiers also committed to erasing most interprovincial trade and labour mobility barriers by December, making it easier and cheaper for consumers and workers in one part of the country to buy products from or get jobs in other provinces. On the shrinking prospects of a trade deal before the deadline, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said it appears the U.S. is looking to do more sectoral agreements in areas such as automobiles and aluminum before fully renegotiating the Canada-U.S.-Mexico free trade agreement, which Trump is now breaking with his tariffs on steel and aluminum. 'If we can come up with some kind of common agreement on those issues, those sectoral agreements, by Aug. 1, we'll look at that as a win,' she said. Quebec Premier François Legault praised the gathering with Carney as a way of speeding up national consensus-building at a critical time, with Canada's economy expected to slow and more jobs to be lost because of Trump's tariffs. 'We were lucky to have a two-for-one,' Legault said in French before making it clear he's pleased other premiers share his province's concerns about a lack of provincial control over immigration and asylum-seekers, increasing pressure on Carney. 'You're used to hearing Quebec demanding full powers over immigration and what I heard today is this is pretty much a unanimous demand of all the provinces,' Legault said in French. Ford said the problem is asylum-seekers waiting too long — sometimes two years — for federal work permits, with provinces footing the tab for their accommodations, education and health care in the meantime. 'It's costing our province an absolute fortune,' he said. Accordingly, Ford added, premiers have agreed to use their authority under Section 95 of the Constitution to issue their own work permits, citing overlap between federal and provincial powers. 'I'm not waiting any longer,' he said firmly. It was not immediately clear how provincial permits could legally bypass the federal asylum claims approval process, but a source in the premier's office told the Star provincial legislation is likely required. Ontario's legislature is not scheduled to return until Oct. 20. Despite the focus on trade, health-care funding from the federal government was another hot topic for the premiers as costs rise with a growing and aging population, the higher costs of new technologies and more breakthrough drugs targeted at specific and rare diseases. The percentage of federal funding has been on the decline, said Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, calling for more flexibility in how money is spent. 'Things are very different in the territories versus the Prairies versus Atlantic Canada versus some of our more populated provinces, like British Columbia, Ontario or Quebec,' he said. Ford complained Ontario is paying an 'unfair' share into the federal equalization program, sending $26 billion more to Ottawa than it gets back.

Palm Beach eye doctor arrested for shooting ex-wife dead outside condo: deputies
Cynthia Sciarrone was two days shy of her 55th birthday when deputies found her dead on a Palm Beach County sidewalk in the predawn hours of July 15. She sustained a gunshot to her head, just 75 feet from the home she once shared with her ex-husband, a Martin County eye doctor who law enforcement officials are saying is the alleged killer, according to the suspect's arrest warrant. Around 3:30 p.m., Sciarrone was discovered after officers responded to a 'man down' call from Palm Beach Fire Rescue near the 4700 block of Lucerne Lakes Boulevard in Lake Worth Beach. A Spirit Airlines flight attendant, she was still in uniform and lay feet away from her suitcase when discovered, the report reads. No evidence of a firearm was found at the scene. Dashboard camera footage recovered later from Sciarrone's car, a grey Subaru, shows that she was shot hours earlier, around 11:50 p.m. Officials noted the shooter, who was just outside of the camera's view, was a man donning a baseball cap. Detectives were quick to single out a suspect — neighbors and an initial background check revealed that she was recently divorced from ophthalmologist Richard Seith as of May 5. The 53-year-old doctor, who owns Treasure Coast Eye Specialist in Stuart, owed her $285,000 and had to cede the Lake Worth Beach condominium to Sciarrone as part of the settlement, his arrest warrant detailed. Per one witness in the report, Seith's distinctive orange Jeep Wrangler — which sported the words 'Jack O' Lantern' — was regularly spotted staking out the Lucerne Lakes community and was seen as recently as July 13, two days before Sciarrone's death. Another, who said she briefly dated Seith in 2014 and befriended Sciarrone later, described their marriage as an 'escalating pattern of emotional and psychologically abusive behavior which Cynthia confided about.' Detectives began keeping tabs on Seith after a July 15 anonymous tip said he 'was stalking the victim and believed to have fired gun shots at places the victim would stay,' reads the report. Search warrants placed the following day turned up mounting evidence. Per his arrest warrant, Seith's cellular records matched surveillance footage of his Jeep traveling from Martin County to Lucerne Lakes the day Sciarrone was killed. His phone also showed that he searched Spirit Airlines flight departure information hours earlier and purchased a tracking device subscription that he canceled three hours after she was shot. A search of his Jeep Wrangler and eye clinic uncovered guns and gun paraphernalia in both. Seith was booked July 18 into Palm Beach County's Main Detention Center, where he remains and is behind held without bond. Stalking, abuse and a divorce While Palm Beach County officers have yet to release a motive, grim details on Seith and Sciarrone's six-year marriage could point to one. The eye doctor allegedly demanded she 'swing' with other sexual partners against her wishes and refused to pay for 'medically necessary dental care' if she didn't comply. In 2023, when she trained as a flight attendant in Houston to seek financial independence, Seith confessed his mind would go to a 'dark place' when thinking of what she did while away and admitted he considered killing his ex-wife during his first divorce, according to the warrant. Seith's dark musings and physically abusive tendencies led her to stay at a friend's Stuart home that the ophthalmologist was known to drive by frequently. According to the warrant, he sent repeated texts to Sciarrone and her friend laden with threats like 'Great knowing you' and demands to share her whereabouts. Sciarrone originally filed for divorce in January 2024 and moved to the Lake Worth Beach condo that she resided in until her death after her ex-husband kicked her out of their shared home and financially cut her off. Seith faces a charge of first-degree murder in connection with Sciarrone's death.

2 killed in 2 separate crashes in western Wisconsin within minutes of each other
Authorities in western Wisconsin are investigating two separate deadly crashes that happened Saturday within minutes of each other. The Dunn County Sheriff's Office says the first crash happened at approximately 9:25 p.m. on 960th Street, south of 1010th Street in Spring Brook. Upon arrival, deputies found a 1961 Keep in the ditch that had struck a tree and caught on fire. Bystanders were able to put out the fire, authorities say, and only a tire had been damaged by the flames. The Jeep sustained significant damage and the driver, a 36-year-old from Durand, had been trapped inside the vehicle, according to the sheriff's office. First responders determined he was already dead by the time they arrived. Authorities say a preliminary investigation shows the Jeep had been southbound on 960th Street when it appears to have had a mechanical failure, causing the driver to lose control. The vehicle entered the ditch on the northbound lane of the road, partially rolled and struck a tree. Two minutes later, the Dunn County Sheriff's Office says deputies responded to a head-on crash on state Highway 79 north of 790th Avenue in Sherman. Deputies arrived to find a 2015 Chevy Silverado in the southbound ditch and a 2006 Pontiac G6 in the northbound ditch. The driver of the Pontiac, a 36-year-old woman from Boyceville, had been entrapped in the vehicle and died, authorities say. The lone occupant of the pick-up truck was transported by helicopter to the hospital. His condition is unknown. Investigators believe the Pontiac had been traveling northbound on Highway 79 when it crossed the center line and hit the Chevy head-on. The two crashes occurred about 25 miles apart from each other. The identities of the deceased will be released after the families are notified.
