This mother says Air Canada ignored refund plea for months after her child's death
|
|
|
A grieving mother says Air Canada left her fighting for answers — and a refund — after her 10-year-old daughter died.
What's happening: Becky Cable-Munroe says following her daughter's death in a tragic boating accident last October, Air Canada failed to refund one of the flights she'd booked as part of a mother-daughter trip to see Sabrina Carpenter in Toronto. The experience left her chasing down answers for months during an already devastating time.
What's next: Air Canada says its policy is to refund both the deceased customer and any immediate family member travelling with them — a policy the airline says "was not correctly applied" in this case. Experts say the experience highlights a deeper problem where customers are left without clear answers or accountability during their most vulnerable moments.

Her sexual allegations against a sergeant were finally being investigated. Did a jealous officer trigger it?
|
|
|
A woman who came forward about sexual misconduct while she attended an Ottawa police college in 2021 says she's angered over her experience potentially being leveraged by another officer who was passed over for a promotion.
What happened: Ottawa police sergeant Robert Cleroux was up for a promotion, then suspended from duty with pay, then investigated for sexual misconduct in January. The investigation centred on the accounts of two former students of Collège La Cité's police foundations program who said Cleroux touched them without consent and sent sexually explicit messages. Cleroux died by suicide in March, raising questions about the handling of the case.
A question of timing: The former student who first reported misconduct to the school and later posted a warning on social media says she is angered that an investigation might have started over a promotion. Sources told CBC News that an officer who didn't get the promotion made the complaint against Cleroux. "Sexual assault shouldn't be used as blackmail to get a position," the former student said. The allegations should have been dealt with sooner, she added, not when it was convenient for them.

Poilievre argues Carney has 'wasted an entire year' on possible Alberta pipeline
|
|
|
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says the prime minister has "wasted an entire year" deliberating a potential new oil pipeline out of Alberta.
What's happening: Poilievre told reporters at a news conference in Toronto on Sunday that Prime Minister Mark Carney needs to "get out of the way" by ditching the industrial carbon tax and the B.C. oil tanker ban. "He's been prime minister for a year and he still hasn't even made up his mind whether he supports a pipeline," Poilievre said. "He's wasted an entire year."
What's next: In an interview on Rosemary Barton Live, Energy Minister Tim Hodgson said the MOU Carney signed with Alberta stipulates that the proponent must choose the route and spend the money. Alberta said it will deliver a pipeline submission by July 1. Hodgson said Canada is focused on diversifying its energy trade partners. "We trade almost all of our natural gas and oil with the United States. We think it's in our interest to diversify that."
