OTTAWA — As of today, individuals and businesses are no longer able to import restricted handguns into Canada, with limited exceptions. The move announced earlier this month is aimed at expediting a key pillar of the federal effort to cap the number of handguns in the country. In May, the Liberal government announced a plan to implement a freeze on importing, buying, selling or otherwise transferring handguns to help quell firearm-related violence. The measure is part of a broader firearms-contr

Locks at the Rectory Art House next to the main building were swapped out on Thursday, so only the owners of the property and the artists who rent from them can access it. "There is no lease anymore. Now they're basically squatting," said Dave with Cease Bailiff Services. "That won't last very long."
