U.S. Tariffs Target Canada Over Forced Labor |...

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

2026/07/24

The U.S. is slapping new tariffs on Canada and 59 other nations, citing forced labor failures — but experts question the real motives, calling it a recycled excuse. Canada, caught off guard, now faces 10% duties on non-USMCA-compliant goods, despite weak evidence of its own enforcement gaps. As trade talks hang in the balance, the move underscores a growing rift between Washington’s enforcement demands and its partners’ concerns over fairness and justification. Listen in comfort:Get a

2026/07/24

Canada’s Gaza immigration program is moving slowly—just 2 of 37 study permit applications approved, 14 denied, with the rest pending—despite urgent calls to fast-track refugee students. The government is using remote biometric screenings in Gaza and third countries to speed up vetting without compromising security. A separate family-reunion program offered 5,000 temporary spots, but only 1,000 have arrived so far. Canada waived key rules to welcome Gazans, offering tax-free grants, healthcare,

Alberta Referendum Costs Spark Debate | Calgary News

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

2026/07/24

Alberta’s opposition is demanding transparency on the referendum’s cost, estimating up to $132 million — a figure echoed by a former chief electoral officer — while the government remains silent on its own numbers. Adding to the expense: a $1.5 million secession study, $300K for the referendum website, and alleged $160K in TV ads and $200K in promo videos. The Premier defends the spending as essential to inform Albertans about the referendum’s implications — a vote for more provincial

2026/07/24

Calgary’s massive water pipe replacement project is halfway done—and it’s about to get even more critical. The aging Bearspaw South feeder main, built in 1975 and dubbed “terminally ill,” has ruptured twice already, triggering water restrictions. A brand-new pipeline, running parallel and stretching from Montgomery to Bowness, is now being installed using high-tech micro-tunnelling and open-cut methods. While the new line is expected to be fully operational by December, a four-week shutdown of

2026/07/24

Alberta’s sweltering heatwave is here — with triple-digit days and teens at night — fueled by a stubborn high-pressure system and worsened by wildfire smoke from the north. This combo is making it harder for bodies to cool down, especially for those with breathing issues. Climate change is turning these extreme heat events into the new normal, with Canada’s warmest years on record happening just recently.

Bridge Deal Sparks Political Heat | Calgary News

2026/07/24

The Gordie Howe International Bridge is set to open next week, but the deal to get it done sparked political drama. Prime Minister Mark Carney initially misled the public about toll revenue splits, admitting he could’ve explained it better—especially while wearing a cowboy hat at the Calgary Stampede. The new agreement, still a proposed deal, shifts Canada’s role: for 15 years, Canada will split half of net bridge revenue with a U.S.-controlled economic development fund, unlike the 2012 deal

Dru Brown is heating up in Winnipeg, leading the Blue Bombers to two straight wins since stepping in for the injured Zach Collaros — including a jaw-dropping OT victory over his old team, Ottawa. With a perfect 4-0 record against Calgary and a calm, commanding presence that’s steadying the offense, Brown’s poised to keep rolling this Friday against the Stampeders.

2026/07/24

Calgary’s beloved outdoor pools are drowning in demand as the city swells by 20% in five years, straining aging facilities built in the 70s. With capacity limits and timed slots now the norm, locals are booking swim spots weeks in advance. COSPA’s creative fixes—like extending seasons and keeping pandemic-era entry systems—help ease the crush, but new pools remain out of reach due to soaring costs. Meanwhile, just north, Airdrie’s first outdoor pool hints at a broader trend: more recreational

Alberta’s Premier Danielle Smith is pushing for a referendum on whether the province should stay in Canada or begin the process of leaving, with a vote set for October 19th — but critics are sounding the alarm. Opposition leader Naheed Nenshi calls it political theater, citing a staggering $333,000 already spent just to publicize the vote — money Albertans are paying for, he argues. While Smith frames the referendum as a way to settle the issue once and for all, skeptics believe it’s a

Carney Clarifies Bridge Revenue Deal | Calgary News

2026/07/24

Prime Minister Mark Carney admits he could’ve clarified the Gordie Howe Bridge toll revenue deal with the U.S. better—especially while sporting a cowboy hat at the Calgary Stampede. The new agreement, unveiled this week, means Canada won’t count debt servicing costs as operating expenses before splitting net revenues 50-50 with the U.S. for 15 years. This contradicts Carney’s earlier July 12th explanation. The bridge, built to ease congestion since 2018, originally had a 2012 deal where Canada

The search for missing 11-year-old Parker enters its second week, taking a heavy emotional toll on first responders, volunteers, and the community.

A man convicted of sexually assaulting a woman with a crowbar—after she was incapacitated and a neighbor intervened—is sentenced to eight years, and his appeal fails as three judges uphold the ruling, calling the attack predatory and rejecting his claims of insufficient remorse or mitigating factors, especially given his prior conviction for causing his wife’s son’s death.

Grande Prairie is bringing its speed camera program back in-house, ending its long reliance on outside contractors and keeping the revenue within the city. After the province slashed camera sites—limiting them to school zones and banning them from highways—Grande Prairie used its own data to prove cameras reduce speeding and serious injuries. Now, by running the program internally, the city aims to prioritize safety, maintain consistent enforcement, and boost its budget—all while reclaiming

The Bank of Canada is facing mounting pressure after being ordered twice this month to stop using replacement security workers — a move stemming from a June strike by unionized officers. Despite rulings from the Canada Industrial Relations Board that contractors from Pinkerton, Garda, and even union members were illegally hired during the strike, the bank insists it’s complying while dodging specifics. Represented by the Public Service Alliance of Canada, the security workers are demanding the

The University of Calgary is barred from marching in this year’s Calgary Pride Parade after organizers cited its handling of protesters in 2024 — though the university’s sports policy, tied to a provincial law, was not the issue. While the school can’t march as an institution, individual students, faculty, and alumni may participate without using the university’s name or logo. The university plans its own Pride Week events, but student leaders argue that dismantling equity offices and cutting

British Columbia’s Premier David Eby is firing back at U.S. tariffs with a bold threat: Canada could block U.S. access to critical minerals if the tariffs on Canadian lumber and other goods continue. Calling the U.S. hypocrisy, Eby insists Canada won’t back down from its boycott of American alcohol. With 13.7% of B.C.’s exports at risk — the highest in the country — the dispute is escalating. Other premiers are weighing in too: Ontario suggests blocking oil and potash, but Saskatchewan quickly
