As of Monday, the Federal Carbon Tax jumped $15 a tonne to $80 a tonne - a 23 per cent increase.

On Saturday, Feb. 24, 2024, at approximately 5:30 a.m., a 64-year-old male was on the ground level Churchill LRT platform waiting for a train when he was approached by a male suspect.

The two had a brief verbal exchange which resulted in the suspect attacking the 64-year-old, knocking him to the ground and violently assaulting him.

Five other suspects also reportedly joined the attack, robbing the man prior to fleeing the scene.

EMS attended and transported the man to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
