Airline fines, pipeline politics, bad allergy season, and more

Ottawa is raising fines for airlines that repeatedly violate passengers’ rights. But advocates for those passengers question whether a $1 million penalty will stop bad behaviour. They say the key is in enforcement. And: A new cross-border oil pipeline could mean more jobs, and more money here in Canada. It could also mean tying Canada more closely to the U.S., just when the federal government has said it’s time to pull away. Also: Sneezing, sniffling, scratching? You might be able to blame climate change. Scientists say it’s making allergy season worse. Plus: Weather prediction markets, B.C. health cuts, U.S./Iran war politics, Liberals use majority on committees, and more.
