Four dead grey whales have been found off B.C.’s coast over 10 days this month, and officials with the Fisheries Department say there are signs of more deaths to come. Paul Cottrell, the marine mammal co-ordinator with the department, said five dead grey whales have been found already this year, while the record is 11 deaths over all of 2019. “We’re hoping it’s just a blip, but the indications are that we’re likely going to see more mortalities, and of course, the great work that’s going on with the sampling and necropsies will inform body condition and cause of death,…

NEW YORK (AP) — A firefighter whose truck collided with an Air Canada Express jet last month on a runway at New York’s LaGuardia Airport, killing both pilots, heard an air traffic controller warn “stop, stop, stop” but didn’t know who it was for, federal investigators said Thursday.

The City of Toronto has passed a motion opposing the Ford government’s takeover of Billy Bishop Airport.

It would also take ownership of city-owned lands at the airport, including one-third…

Ontario’s opposition parties called on Premier Doug Ford to apologize for a personal insult he hurled — and repeated — at a Liberal member of provincial parliament Thursday during a debate about a law that restricts public access to his records. Most of the day’s question period was focused on amendments in the budget bill that will shield records of the premier, cabinet ministers and their staff from freedom-of-information laws. Liberal critic Stephanie Smyth, who worked for decades as a broadcast journalist before entering politics, asked Ford why a premier who claims to be highly accountable is making it hard…
