Federal Court of Appeal set to rule on Ottawa’s single-use plastics ban

The case stems from a 2023 Federal Court ruling that found the federal government went too far by designating all “plastic manufactured items” as toxic under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act. That designation was used a year earlier to justify regulations banning the manufacture and import of six common single-use plastic items. The prohibited products include gro

Signs of slowdown emerge as Canada’s economy faces possible GDP decline in final quarter

Canada’s economy is showing renewed signs of strain, with new data suggesting the country’s gross domestic product may have contracted in the fourth and final quarter of 2025. Economists point to ongoing trade pressures, particularly from U.S. tariffs, as a key factor weighing on growth in a trade-dependent economy. According to Statistics Canada, economic activity stalled completely in November, marking zero growth for the month. This followed a 0.3 per cent decline in October, making it the second consecutive month without any measurable improvement in overall economic output. Analysts s
