Applause erupted over and over at the Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg Sunday as the son of Murray Sinclair, a former judge, senator and chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission into residential schools, spoke about his father.

Niigaan Sinclair said his dad "was a first" in every room he walked into.

"It was impossible to go through a mall without 17 people, two of them he'd sentenced to jail at one point, coming up to him and saying how much they appreciated him," Niigaan Sinclair said.

A labour dispute continues to paralyze cargo shipping at British Columbia ports, and the union for locked-out workers is accusing employers of abruptly ending contract talks early.

The International Longshore and Warehouse Local 514 says the BC Maritime Employers Association ended federally mandated talks with a mediator less than an hour after they began late Saturday afternoon.

The employers association said in an evening statement each side met separately with a mediator in Vancouver, but that there was "no progress made."

British Columbia's Ministry of Health says the first suspected human case of bird flu contracted in Canada has been detected in B.C. 

A statement from the office of the provincial health officer says a teenager in the region covered by Fraser Health tested positive for bird flu, and the teen is currently getting treatment at BC Children's Hospital. 

The statement says the positive test was done by the BC Centre for Disease Control, and samples are on their way to Winnipeg's national microbiology lab for confirmatory testing.

On Monday, the Trudeau government introduced draft regulations for an emissions cap on Canada’s oil and gas sector, aiming to cut emissions by 35% from 2019 levels by the decade's end. This policy, expected to stir a new chapter in the ongoing debate between Ottawa and the Prairie provinces, seeks to cap greenhouse gas emissions while allowing the industry to continue production growth.

Ajara DIas and Jiyeong Lee or Morse risked their lives in an attempt to save their neighbour from a burning building.

For their heroism, the Royal Canadian Human Association awarded them silver medals for bravery.

On March 8th of this year, Lee and Dias were returning to Morse with family and saw smoke rising from a home in the area.

On their Facebook page the RCHA said that as others stood watching the fire, Jieyong called 911 and then went with Ajara to the front door to check on a 78-year-old man they knew was living in the home.

Moose Jaw, SK – The Moose Jaw Warriors will hit the road on Saturday night to battle the Medicine Hat Tigers at Co-op Place.

Both teams will be looking to bounce back from losses to open the weekend after the Warriors fell 7-3 to the Lethbridge Hurricanes, while the Tigers dropped a 4-2 game at home to Edmonton.

The Warriors have dropped back-to-back games after finishing their BC Division road trip with a 6-2 loss in Vancouver last Saturday.

Moose Jaw, SK – The Moose Jaw Warriors’ struggles in the third period continued Friday night.

The Warriors went into the third period tied at 2-2 with the Lethbridge Hurricanes, but Lethbridge struck for five goals in the frame and beat Moose Jaw, 7-3, at the Moose Jaw Events Centre.

“The third period starts off and we give up two goals in the first 40 seconds and that’s just a matter of not being ready to go after the intermission, so no excuse there, we need to find ways to be better,” Warriors associate coach Scott King said.

Contract negotiations resume today in Vancouver in a labour dispute that has paralyzed container cargo shipping at British Columbia's ports since Monday. 

The BC Maritime Employers Association and International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 514 are scheduled to meet for the next three days in mediated talks to try to break a deadlock in negotiations.

The union, which represents more than 700 longshore supervisors at ports, including Vancouver, Prince Rupert and Nanaimo, has been without a contract since March last year.
