Rescue crews in Pakistan’s largest city recovered additional bodies from the ruins of a multi storey shopping plaza in Karachi, raising the confirmed death toll from a major fire to at least 15 as dozens of people remain unaccounted for. Officials warned the number of fatalities could still increase as search operations continue inside the damaged building. Firefighters brought the blaze at Gul Plaza under control late Sunday, nearly a full day after it first erupted, allowing emergency teams to enter areas that had been inaccessible because of intense heat and smoke.

Inflation edges up to 2.4 per cent in December as earlier tax break skews comparison

Canada’s inflation rate rose slightly at the end of last year, with consumer prices increasing at an annual pace of 2.4 per cent in December, according to new data from Statistics Canada. That marked an uptick from 2.2 per cent in November. The national statistics agency said the increase was partly driven by comparison effects linked to a temporary federal tax holiday that had been in place a year earlier. Prices that were held down during that period have since returned to more typical levels, pushing the year-over-year inflation figure higher. Economists often point to these base-year eff

PQ leader calls for renewed sovereignty debate following Legault resignation

The leader of the Parti Québécois says Premier François Legault’s decision to step down has reopened the question of Quebec sovereignty and created an opportunity to reset the province’s political direction.

Legault founded the CAQ on the idea of moving beyond the long-standing divide between fe
