BREAKING: Officials at Air Canada say they are slashing six major routes out of Calgary this winter. They say it is in part due to an industry-wide pilot shortage. The country’s biggest airline says it will no longer offer non stop flights from Calgary to Ottawa, Halifax, Los Angeles, Honolulu, or Frankfurt as of the end of October. Officials say the industry wide shortage of regional pilots is expected to have a prolonged impact. Air Canada also says they are running into supply chain problems making it more difficult for the airline to obtain parts and complete airplane maintenance on time.

Lethbridge Police are issuing a public warning after discovering candy-bear shaped fentanyl in Galt Gardens. On June 20th a member of the Downtown Policing Unit located a bag on the east side of the park. Inside was a small quantity of suspected fentanyl coloured greenish-blue in a bear shape that could be mistaken for candy. The container holding the bear also included suspected fentanyl pieces in other colours. Authorities sent the substance away for analysis and it was determined the bear contains fentanyl, bromazolen, and caffeine. Police have not since located any additional fentanyl bears, nor have there been any further reports. LPS says using bright colours or molds to create certain shapes is not uncommon in the illicit production of fentanyl. Anyone who locates a suspicious substance is advised not to touch it and immediately call police at 403-328-4444.

Politicians, not Hinshaw made decisions on health restrictions, judge rules
The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms says an Alberta court has struck down public health orders from Dr. Deena Hinshaw that violated charter freedoms during the pandemic. In the case of Ingram versus Alberta it says the court essentially struck down the lockdown measures because they were issued by Cabinet and not from the Chief Medical Officer of Health at the time which was Dr. Deena Hinshaw. To chat about this case in more detail is one of the lawyers who worked on this case, Leighton Grey who chats with BCN’s Hal Roberts.

Dozens gather outside Lethbridge Courthouse
Dozens gathered outside the Lethbridge Courthouse Wednesday morning to mount pressure on the judge and Crown to deny bail to a 52-year old male and 31-year old female. The couple face charges in relation to a weeks-old infant that is currently in hospital following allegations of assault and sexual assault. BCN's Naveen Day was at the rally and spoke with the event organizers, while Jeannette Rocher attended the court hearing and shares what happened inside of the courtroom.
The case of a Lethbridge man accused of abusing a six-week-old baby and a woman charged for failing to provide the necessaries of life has been adjourned until January 27th. The defence lawyer requested a remand of disclosure, saying he only received the information late Tuesday. The Crown told the court they will oppose bail for the couple. There is also a publication ban in effect so no names are being released to protect the identity of the child who remains in critical condition at the Alberta Children’s Hospital in Calgary. The defence attorney made a point to clarify the couple are not co-accused. Only the male is being charged with assault, while the woman is charged with failure to provide necessaries.
