⚛️ Ontario set to begin construction of Canada's 1st mini nuclear power plant
Premier Doug Ford's government has given Ontario Power Generation the green light to start construction on Canada's first small modular reactor, a new nuclear energy technology to be built next door to the Darlington power plant.
The small modular reactor (SMR) would provide 300 megawatts of power, enough electricity to supply about 300,000 homes.
It would be the first of four such reactors that OPG aims to build on the site, at a total project cost of $20.9 billion.

📈 Quebec reports high immigration, record low fertility in 2024
Despite a downward trend, Quebec still reported nearly record-high population growth last year owing to immigration, even as the province’s fertility rate reached its lowest level on record.
Non-permanent residents – including temporary foreign workers, international students and asylum seekers – were responsible for much of the province’s population growth in 2024, according to a new report from Quebec’s statistics agency.
Quebec’s total population increased by about 155,000 in 2024, owing entirely to immigration, and reached about 9.1 million in January, 2025.

Saskatchewan NDP introduces anti-separation bill
The Saskatchewan NDP, led by Carla Beck, has introduced a bill to increase the threshold for initiating a plebiscite on provincial separation from Canada to 30% of eligible voters, up from the current 15%.
Beck argues this ensures broader public support for such a significant decision, citing economic concerns. Premier Scott Moe agreed to a free vote but accused the NDP of trying to silence public opinion.

💩 Frustrations rise over human waste on Vancouver streets, prompting return of ‘poop fairy’ program
As public defecation in Vancouver reaches new heights, residents, business owners and Business Improvement Areas leaders are calling for action that goes beyond the routine clean-ups.
Executive director of the Gastown Business Improvement Society says he was forced to implement his own initiative, affectionately dubbed the “poop fairy program,” after other waste-collecting programs proved ineffective.
In 2021, the City of Vancouver introduced its Feces Removal Response Program to address the fouling minefields, with patrols and collections carried out on weekdays across Chinatown, Downtown, Strathcona, Gastown, and Hastings Crossing.
A spokesperson from the city says the program had seen 1,870 removals in the first two months of this year alone. In 2024, 327 calls regarding human waste were made, an average of six calls per week.

Alberta overhauls election laws to allow corporate donations, change referendum thresholds
The Alberta government wants to bring back corporate and union political donations, eliminate the process of vouching for a voter's identity at election polling stations, and lower the threshold for recalls and referendums.
The bill, which amends seven pieces of legislation including the Election Act, would also ban the use of electronic vote tabulators, a measure that was promised by Premier Danielle Smith's United Conservative government.

🏫 Quebec court overturns out-of-province tuition hike for English universities
A Quebec Superior Court judge overturned the provincial government’s 2023 tuition hike for out-of-province students attending English-language universities like McGill and Concordia.
The 33% increase ($3,000) was deemed unreasonable due to insufficient evidence supporting claims it would protect French or address low student retention. The court also rejected a requirement mandating 80% of out-of-province undergraduates achieve intermediate French proficiency by graduation, calling it unfeasible.
McGill and Concordia universities, which saw enrolment declines after the hike, challenged the policy as harmful to their financial stability and Quebec’s educational reputation.
