2026/08/12

Canada’s sky is getting a double cosmic treat this week — a partial solar eclipse by day, followed hours later by the dazzling Perseid meteor shower. The eclipse, most visible in Newfoundland and Labrador, demands certified eye protection — no peeking without proper glasses, even if it’s just a sliver of sun. For those without glasses, a DIY cardboard projector works wonders. Then, as night falls, the annual Perseid meteor shower peaks with fireworks across the sky — think shooting stars like

2026/08/12

Heather Reisman, once a longtime ally of a prominent statesman, now fiercely opposes him over his rightward drift and expansion of West Bank settlements, arguing that many in the political middle are yearning for change in Israel. She lays out three key drivers behind rising antisemitism: critical race theory’s impact on campus DEI policies that sideline Jewish voices, problematic dynamics within Canada’s left-leaning union movement—including a controversial former leader’s post-October 7

2026/08/12

A lawyer for the complainant in Frank Stronach’s sexual assault case is furious, claiming he was manipulated into revealing damaging emails that triggered a mistrial — a move he says was orchestrated by the defense to derail justice. The judge, who initially convicted Stronach on two charges, later reversed her own verdict after those emails exposed a stark contradiction: the complainant, protected by anonymity, had publicly downplayed trauma during trial but now claimed decades of pain and

BC Drownings Surge This Summer | Vancouver News

2026/08/12

Drownings in British Columbia are surging this summer, with 39 accidental deaths already reported — a 50% jump from last year and on track to shatter records. The Lifesaving Society warns that most victims weren’t wearing life jackets, and tragic incidents like a 13-year-old falling from a paddleboard highlight the danger: drowning is the top cause of accidental death for kids, and it can happen in just a few inches of water.

Smoke Lies Behind Refund | Vancouver News

Vancouver News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! ·

2026/08/12

A camper in Manning Park got stuck in wildfire smoke so thick he couldn’t breathe—and was denied a refund because air quality data from a station 70km away showed clear skies. While official B.C. Parks policy allows refunds for high pollution levels, the Hope station’s readings didn’t trigger it—even though local smoke maps showed dangerously unhealthy air. This exposes a critical gap: remote areas lack real-time monitoring, forcing campers to rely on outdated or inaccurate data. Berlin’s case

Construction kicks off at CFB Esquimalt for North Naden Accommodations — five new two-story buildings replacing 1950s-era housing, with the first set to open early next year and the whole complex done by 2030. The $20M first-phase contract could balloon to $86M total, shifting from temporary to permanent housing before a single brick was laid.

New data reveals a troubling shift in Canadian attitudes toward faiths, with Judaism experiencing the most dramatic change—more negative views and fewer positive ones over the past year and a half. While Islam still faces the strongest overall negativity, anti-Jewish sentiment is surging, even as hate crimes against Jewish people have dropped to 788 from 943 last year—still making up 71% of all religion-motivated hate crimes.

Forty-seven migrant workers from Mexico, stranded by wildfires in B.C.’s Okanagan, were evacuated and forced into emergency shelters with only two nights’ stay allowed—despite being essential farm laborers. Some were rescued on foot or by helicopter after their vehicles broke down, and while community groups stepped in with donations like backpacks, most left behind their belongings, including passports.

Salmon Counts in Crisis | Vancouver News

2026/08/12

For forty years, Ralph Nelson has kayaked and hiked remote streams to count salmon — a vital job now fading as Fisheries and Oceans Canada slashes its patrol force. With critical data missing, First Nations like the Heiltsuk step in, but it’s unsustainable. Salmon runs have collapsed from 40 million to just four million in the Fraser River — yet DFO claims no major changes to its monitoring. As veteran counters age out and younger people walk away, some still paddle on, determined to keep watch

When WestJet and Air Canada flight attendants went on strike, millions of passengers were left stranded — sparking a critical debate: how do we protect workers’ right to strike while keeping air travel reliable? Canada’s current system forces a binary choice — chaos or government intervention — but smarter models from Italy and Germany show it’s possible to strike with predictability.
