As Hurricane Ian rips through Florida, the immense destruction is also being felt by Canadian property owners. Florida is a second home to hundreds of thousands of snowbirds who were preparing to fly south for the winter, such as Alison Collins and her husband Greg, who bought a second home in Fort Myers last April. "We just found out about an hour ago that some of the flashing across the side of our house was blown off," she told CTV National News. "Being about 90 degrees (32 C), it becomes increasingly concerning every day that we don't have power due to the risk of mould." Windsor, Ont. resident Joe Di Ponio, who also owns a second home in Bonite Spring, Fla., says it's been a struggle to reach his friends and neighbours down south as Ian tore through his community. "I mean it's extremely terrifying for the people who are there, for the people who decided to stay and not evacuate. They said the noise was deafening. The shaking of the building...

Hurricane Fiona is well on its way to being the costliest storm to ever hit Atlantic Canada — and most of its financial toll won't be covered by insurance. Analysts at DBRS Morningstar estimate that the storm, which ripped through Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Eastern Quebec last weekend, caused between $300 million and $700 million worth of insured losses to the local economy. But that figure is nowhere close to the true cost of the storm, because gaps in the insurance system make it so that most of the damage won't be covered. While most residential home and property insurance policies typically cover damages from things like strong winds, downed trees and water damage caused from leaky roofs, that isn't the case for the type of flooding caused by storm surges — which were a huge part of Fiona's wrath. "Sea surge is not covered in most cases," said Marcos Alvarez, the global head of insurance with DBRS Morningstar. ...

Maritime Electric is close to restoring electricity to one third of its customers following post-tropical storm Fiona's strike on P.E.I. over the weekend, but no closer to providing an estimate of when the work would be done. Fiona hit P.E.I. early Saturday morning, leaving widespread destruction and power outages. As of Wednesday morning, about 57,000 Maritime Electric customers were still in the dark — with power restored to only about 26,000 customers on day five of the outage. With crews about to return to work Wednesday morning, spokesperson Kim Griffin said things are particularly bad in the eastern part of the province. "We do not have all the essential services on. That's certainly something that our crews are focusing on," said Griffin. "They worked until about midnight last night, many of them, before they timed out, and expect to be on the road maybe 6:30, 7, this morning." Inspections Tuesday found more broken poles than expected, and the co...

Photo: Pacific Salmon Foundation Sockeye in the Adams River. Pacific salmon are struggling to survive. From endangered Sakinaw sockeye salmon to threatened Interior Fraser coho, about half of Pacific salmon populations are in some state of decline, according to the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC). On the Fraser River, sockeye returns sunk to 293,000 fish in 2020, the lowest since record-keeping began in 1893. This year was supposed to be different. As a dominant year for the iconic salmon species, the Pacific Salmon Commission initially forecast nearly 9.8 million Fraser sockeye would return in 2022. And while that’s since been downgraded to 6.7 million fish, the spectacle of millions of individual salmon fighting the flow of B.C.’s biggest river will go on. Ending their life at sea, salmon use their incredible keen sense of smell to trace the chemical signature of their home stream. As Pacific salmon return to their natal creeks, streams an...

A purported slip of tongue from Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar , addressing his deputy Tejashwi Prasad Yadav as “mukhyamantri” at an event here, became the source of taunts and counters among BJP and ruling allies JD(U) and RJD on Tuesday. The BJP took a dig at the Chief Minister, saying it’s time for Nitish to “go to ashram”. The allies used the “slip-up” to flaunt their growing bond. Introducing other leaders on the dais at an Animal Husbandry and Fisheries Department event to hand over appointment letters to those selected as veterinary and district fisheries officers, Nitish called his deputy “mananiya mukhyamantri (honourable chief minister) Tejashwi Prasad Yadav”. Nitish did not correct his “slip of tongue” and went ahead with the speech. Not letting the slip-up opportunity slip, BJP spokesperson Nikhil Anand said, “It appears Nitish Kumar has consciously or subconsciously accepted Tejashwi as CM. It is really time for Nitish Kumar to go to (an) ashram.” Subscriber Only...

For staff at the Queensway Carleton Childbirth Unit, the latest baby boom feels especially personal. Nurses and doctors aren’t just delivering babies for others. They’re having their own. “So, we’ve had a total of 16 nurses, including some of our physicians as well, having babies in the last year. Most of them within the last six months,” said Shannon Adams, clinical manager for the Mother, Baby and Special Care Nursery at the Queensway Carleton Hospital. After helping countless other moms for years, the frontline healthcare heroes at the QCH are welcoming their own bundles of joy. “We all love babies, so why not,” said Tima Hijaza, who just delivered her third child.
