According to a recent report by TD Bank, Canadian parents, including Albertans, are worried about their kids facing financial challenges.

In the report, TD Bank stated that nearly three in five (57 per cent) Canadian parents expect to financially support their children after they become adults. However, two-thirds (61 per cent) don't feel very confident in their ability to do so.

Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland says the Canada carbon rebate for small businesses will be tax-free.

In a statement posted to X late Tuesday, Freeland clarified the parameters of the program after an advocacy group for small business raised concerns that the rebate would be a taxable benefit.

Dan Kelly, president and CEO of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, posted on X soon after that post that he had received a call from Freeland, who offered "assurance" that the rebate would be tax-free.

Donald Trump's second administration is filling up with some of his most loyal supporters and many of the people landing top jobs have been critical of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and security at Canada's border.

One expert says there are not many Canadian allies, so far, in the president-elect's court.

The Cochrane RCMP detachment will hold two significant media briefings on Wednesday morning, addressing recent developments in human trafficking and drug enforcement cases.  

Crews will be out at Veterans Boulevard and the East Lake ramp tonight at 10 p.m. to replace the traffic signal pole.

During this work, the signal will flash red in all directions, acting like a four-way stop, and a temporary stop sign will be set up on the southbound side.  

Drivers are reminded to treat flashing red signals as a stop and approach the intersection with caution.

If you're heading that way tonight, please drive carefully and plan for a short delay.

You remember the award-winning, Canadian pop-punk band STEREOS? Of course you do! With bops like, "Summer Girl," "Throw Ya Hands Up" and "Body Move," it's hard to not STILL love them! Well, they are still together and are still playing shows here and there, but they're no longer a full-time band. 

With that, their lead singer, Patrick Kordyback, now has a solo country project called, Delta Sweet. He's so good!

Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon intervened Tuesday to end work stoppages at ports in both British Columbia and Montreal, directing the Canada Industrial Relations Board to order the resumption of all operations and move the talks to binding arbitration.

But labour experts and other groups say the minister's decision to intervene in the dispute sets a dangerous precedent that undermines workers' rights.
