8 Round Trip Flights From Vancouver For Under $500

British Columbia NDP Leader David Eby is defending draft plans by his previous government to limit the compensation of forest companies when land is transferred to First Nations.

Confidential documents published in the Northern Beat, an online publication, say Eby's government was planning to transfer about 400 parcels of Crown land to First Nations, while limiting compensation for companies with timber rights on the land.

The Manitoba government says it plans direct revenue from a levy on crypto operations to reducing hydro rates.

Finance Minister Adrien Sala says the government expects the measure to bring in about $20 million based on current crypto operations, which he said would translate into $50 a year in savings per ratepayer household.
