The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced today a significant seizure of cocaine at the Blue Water Bridge port of entry in Point Edward, Ontario.

On June 12, 2025, a commercial truck arrived from the United States at the Blue Water Bridge port of entry and was referred for a secondary examination. During the inspection of the trailer, border services officers, with the assistance of a detector dog, discovered 161 bricks of suspected cocaine contained in 6 boxes.

Federal bank loaning $1B for BC Ferries to buy Chinese-made ships

A federal Crown corporation is loaning BC Ferries $1 billion to help buy four Chinese-made ferries, a purchase that federal transport minister Chrystia Freeland recently said was dismaying and should involve no federal funds. Canada Infrastructure Bank confirmed the loan on Thursday, saying the new electric ferries "wouldn't likely be purchased" without the financing. It says the low-cost loan consists of up to $690 million to buy the vessels and up to $310 million for electrification infrastructure. Freeland wrote to the province on June 16, asking B.C. to confirm "with utmost certainty" that

No, school zones are not changing to 24/7

Some disreputable websites are claiming that all Canadian school zones will be in effect 24/7 starting July 1, 2025. These websites are completely wrong, and social media and AI are amplifying the misinformation, says Corporal Michael McLaughlin with BC Highway Patrol. School zones are a provincial jurisdiction.
