Calgary official compares strain on water system to revving car's engine for too long

As daily water use in Calgary remains above target during repairs to a major feeder main, a city official warns the effect on pumps and other infrastructure is like a car's engine running too hard for too long.

The city used 496 million litres of water on Saturday, and was above 500 million litres in the days before that. The city says it's on track t

Justin Trudeau may be in for an earful as he meets with caucus in B.C.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau may be bracing for an earful from his caucus when Liberal MPs gather in Nanaimo, B.C. today to plot their strategy for the coming election year. It will be the first time he faces them as a group since MPs departed Ottawa in the spring. Still stinging from a devastating byelection loss earlier this summer, the caucus is now also reeling from news that their national campaign director has resigned and the party can no longer count on the NDP to stave off an early election.
