Create Account Moe says he can hardly be called a member of the 'Liberal booster club' and it's unusual for him to express support for that political stripe. But he says Carney's talk about moving forward nation-building projects to get Canadian resources to new markets is encouraging, though it must be backed up with action — and soon. Moe was speaking alongside Alberta Premier Danielle Smith at an event hosted by Enserva, an energy services industry advocacy group. The theme of the talk was the ambitions both Prairie provinces have to double their respective oil and gas production. Moe touted the idea of a 'port-to-port corridor,' through which energy and other products could travel to the northwest coast of British Columbia for export to Asia and to Hudson Bay for export to Europe.

Man gets prison for killing in Kentwood hotel hallway
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A deadly shooting in the hallway of a Kentwood hotel is sending the convicted gunman to prison for a minimum of 13 years. A Kent County judge on Thursday sentenced Ateivise Smith for second-degree murder in the March 2023 shooting at Delta Hotel, which investigators say happened while the victim was attending his son's birthday party. Smith received a 13- to 40-year term for the murder and a mandatory two-year sentence on a felony firearms conviction. He was credited for 699 days served since his arrest. , 22, of Georgia, was in a second-floor hallway at the Delta Hotel on 28th Street and East Beltline Avenue SE just before 7 p.m. on March 4, 2023. He had been shot five times, including three times in the back, according to police. Garrett had been living in Atlanta, but returned to his hometown of Grand Rapids for the first birthday party of his son, which was held at the hotel. Officers found six .40-caliber shell casings in the hallway, which matched a Glock handgun that Smith later dropped while running from Grand Rapids police in May 2023 during an unrelated incident. Smith, then 21, was booked into the Kent County jail in July 2023. Hotel surveillance footage showed Smith wearing a ski mask and clutching the front of his waistband, leaving the hotel through the front lobby on the night Garrett was killed. In court records, Smith was identified as part of the 30boyz gang, which has been tied to other crimes, officials said. Before the killing, 30boyz had , asking where to find him and making threats, according to an arrest warrant affidavit. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Defence resumes questioning woman in sexual assault trial for ex-Team Canada junior hockey players
Defence lawyers representing players on Canada's 2018 world junior hockey team will continue to cross-examine the complainant today. Over the course of the week, counsel has grilled E.M. about her own conduct in London, Ont., in 2018. They have asked her how much alcohol she drank, how she danced at Jack's bar and how she was 'acting' in the hotel room during the alleged assault. The lawyer representing Carter Hart, one of the accused, said her client and his teammates 'assumed' E.M. consented to the group sexual activity at the Delta hotel because she was behaving in a certain 'way' and putting on a 'performance.' E.M. said she might have appeared to be OK in the room, but her body was on 'autopilot' as she struggled to grasp what was happening to her. E.M. said the men should have known she wasn't agreeing to the sexual activity because she was outnumbered and heavily intoxicated. The players – Hart, Dillon Dubé, Cal Foote, Alex Formenton and Michael McLeod – are on trial for sexual assault. They have all pleaded not guilty.

Moe says he's Canadian but wouldn't stop vote on Saskatchewan separating from Canada
Published May 01, 2025 • 1 minute read Premier of Saskatchewan Scott Moe speaks at The Food, Fuel, Fertilizer Global Summit inside the Delta Hotel on Tuesday, April 8, 2025 in Regina. Photo by KAYLE NEIS / Regina Leader-Post REGINA — Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says he's a true Canadian but wouldn't stop a public vote on separating from the country if it came forward. Moe says residents are allowed to trigger provincial legislation for a plebiscite on the issue. He says he does not judge people for having different opinions but says he supports a united Canada. Saskatchewan law allows the public to bring forward a petition for a plebiscite as long as 15 per cent of eligible voters sign on. Opposition NDP Leader Carla Beck says Moe should rule out a vote on separation. She says the idea is irresponsible and plays into the hands of U.S. President Donald Trump, who has mused about annexing Canada.

Upcoming election most important in 'decades' for struggling workers, labour campaign says
"Rent? Utilities? Gas? Not on this paycheque," read a sign at a Canadian Labour Congress press conference Monday, launching the organization's new platform advocating for the working class. Slogans like that one illustrate what president Bea Bruske calls an "economic crisis," and the the Labour Congress wants federal election candidates to take note. "All elections are important, we know this," Bruske said in a speech Monday morning at the Delta Hotel in St. John's. "But this one, I think, is the most significant we've had in many decades. "This election comes at a pivotal time for Canadian workers, and the choices that we make at the ballot box this year is going to decide the fate of our economy," Bruske continued. Bruske said Canadian unions want the next prime minister to have a plan to support workers, and the Labour Congress has a specific wish list: A "worker-first" response to tariff threats. Tackling cost of living. Strengthening public health care. Addressing the housing crisis by building one million affordable homes. Supporting workers and their families. Workers' issues at the fore As tariff threats continue to haunt the Canadian economy, workers are taking the hit, according to Bruske. "You need workers to keep our economy growing and strong. However, [the candidates] all have different policies in terms of how they would implement various different changes, and not all of them actually benefit workers," Bruske told reporters. Some of the changes Bruske said workers would like to see include using money from counter-tariffs to offset the impact on workers in affected industries, and making sure Canadians can put food on the table and pay the rent by creating sustainable jobs. Craig Dyer, president of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers in St. John's, witnessed firsthand the struggle. In November, over 50,000 Canada Post workers walked off the job in a strike, but were ordered back to work in December. "We are at a pinnacle as we speak right now, locally, regionally, and nationally and globally," Dyer said in a speech. "We need strong leadership in Ottawa that are going to make decisions to help the working class, the unionized workers, that will benefit everybody." Dyer said now is the time for voters to challenge candidates on the issues that most affect workers' rights. Newfoundland and Labrador Federation of Labour president Jessica McCormick said about 20,000 jobs in Newfoundland and Labrador may be affected by Trump's tariffs. With that in mind, she said federal candidates are very aware of growing concerns. "Workers' issues are really at the forefront of the party agenda," McCormick said at the event. "I'm really looking at what are the track records of those parties when it comes to the key issues." While Liberal Leader Mark Carney and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre make promises to cut income taxes for the average worker, McCormick said she is more interested in plans for affordable housing and reducing cost of living. "When I talk to our members … it's about trying to make end meet," she said.
