Ongoing Water Emergency Leaves Kashechewan First Nation Facing Uncertainty

Ontario (Rajeev Sharma): Residents of Kashechewan First Nation continue to struggle as a worsening water emergency shows no clear sign of resolution, forcing families to ration bottled water and prepare for large-scale evacuations. With tap water no longer safe to use, households are being provided with just one case of bottled water per day — a supply many say is far from sufficient. For families living in overcrowded homes, the shortage has become especially difficult. Fifteen-year-old Keisha Paulmartin, a resident of the community, said the limited water supply does not meet daily needs. Many homes shelter multiple families and large…

Canadian Job Market Sees Modest Gains in December; Unemployment Edges Up

Ottawa (Rajeev Sharma): Canada’s labour market added a modest 8,200 jobs in December, according to Statistics Canada, while the national unemployment rate rose to 6.8 per cent, up from 6.5 per cent in November.
