Ottawa to make pathway for newcomers who lack official status, speed up deportations

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says some immigrants to Canada who lack official status need a pathway to help them stay, while in other cases Ottawa must speed up deportation procedures.

The office of Immigration Minister Marc Miller says he is on track to present a proposal to his fellow cabinet ministers before Parliament rises for its summer break next month. Trudeau says Canada must avoid anti-immigrant sentiment by preserving the integrity of the

Crews fighting wildfires near Fort Nelson hope skies open up after rainy Thursday

A rainy Thursday in and around Fort Nelson was exactly what fire crews were looking for. In a video released late Thursday night by the B.C.

Canada sanctions four Israeli 'extremist settlers' accused of attacking Palestinians

Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly is imposing sanctions on Israelis she accuses of "extremist settler violence" in the West Bank, three months after pledging to do so.

Last October's Hamas attack in Gaza prompted Israel to b
