Court to hear Saskatchewan's case to stop collection of carbon levy money
Federal Court in Vancouver is to hear a case today from the Saskatchewan government asking for an injunction to stop the Canada Revenue Agency from collecting millions in carbon levy money.
Premier Scott Moe's government argues it's unconstitutional for Ottawa to take from its bank account, and that it's unfair for Saskatchewan to pay.
Earlier this year, Saskatchewan had stopped remitting the carbon levy on natural gas to Ottawa, after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau exempted home-heating oil users from paying.

Western Canada heat wave to stretch into Saskatchewan, then Manitoba
A blistering heat wave is moving across Western Canada, pushing record temperatures and the threat of wildfires into Saskatchewan today.
Environment Canada meteorologist Jennifer Smith says a ridge of high pressure from Northern California crept into British Columbia on the weekend before invading the Northwest Territories and Alberta on Monday.
She says the heat will travel into Manitoba by Wednesday and may reach the edge of the northwestern Ontario border before it moves south into the United States again.
Calgarians put water crisis aside, prepare for fun at Stampede
Calgary residents are getting a happy diversion from their water woes, as its annual Stampede summer festival begins today with a downtown parade.
The parade comes a month to the day after a major water main broke in the city’s northwest, flooding streets and turning off the taps to 60 per cent of the drinking water for the city and surrounding communities.
Crews scrambled to repair the line and, in the process, found five more weak spots to fix.

A First Nation community in northern Manitoba says ground-penetrating radar has found 150 anomalies at the site of a former residential school, including 59 unmarked graves at a nearby cemetery.
The chief of Pimicikamak Cree Nation also says 37 anomalies have been found off-site, more than a kilometre away from St. Joseph's Residential School.
The anomalies — places where the ground has been disturbed — were found at depths of between one and two metres, Chief David Monias said Wednesday.
Lt.-Gen. Jennie Carignan named Canada's newest chief of the defence staff
The federal government says it is naming Lt.-Gen. Jennie Carignan as defence chief, making her the first woman to hold the Canadian Armed Forces' top job.
Carignan is currently the military's chief of professional conduct and culture, a job created in the wake of the sexual misconduct crisis.
Several high-ranking leaders were forced to step down from their posts after they were accused of sexual misconduct in 2021, prompting a damning external report that called for culture change.
Manitoba murder conviction deemed likely a miscarriage of justice by federal minister
A Manitoba man convicted of murder 50 years ago is getting another court date and a chance to clear his name.
Clarence Woodhouse was found guilty in 1974 of fatally beating and stabbing a restaurant worker in downtown Winnipeg.
Woodhouse was granted parole in 1983 and filed last year for a ministerial review of his conviction.
His lawyers have said a confession Woodhouse supposedly made was in fluent English, although he primarily spoke Saulteaux.
Trudeau missing Calgary Stampede this summer, his only absence outside COVID-19 years
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's summer campaign circuit will not include a stop at the Calgary Stampede.
The annual 10-day rodeo and festival is usually a must-do event for politicians and Trudeau hasn't missed a summer except for the COVID-19 years of 2020 and 2021.
But his office confirms there will be no pancake flipping, cowboy-hat tipping or crowd-hopping for the prime minister this year.
There was no immediate explanation provided for his absence.
The Stampede officially begins Friday with a parade and runs until July 14.
"Full resumption of operations will take time" after reaching tentative deal: WestJet
WestJet flight disruptions are expected to continue this week, after a deal was reached over the weekend to end a strike by its mechanics.
The airline said in a statement Monday morning that "full resumption of operations will take time and further cancellations will be required over the coming days."
Some 680 members of the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association had walked off the job on Friday evening despite a directive for binding arbitration from federal Labour Minister Seamus O'Regan.
