Elections Canada workers say issues in 2 Cape Breton offices made April vote a 'nightmare'
Several Elections Canada workers in a newly reconfigured Nova Scotia riding say a number of issues made April's voting process a "nightmare" for poll workers and voters alike. The complaints were brought forward by a handful of people who staffed two offices in the riding of Cape Breton-Canso-Antigonish. The riding takes in all of Cape Breton Island outside of the new urban riding of Sydney-Glace Bay, as well as all municipal units found within Antigonish and Guysborough counties. Liberal candidate Jaime Battiste, who had served two terms in the former Sydney-Victoria riding, won the newly redrawn district on April 28. While the Elections Canada workers who spoke to CBC do not dispute the result, they are critical of their offices' employee training, inaccurate election materials that were also in short supply, and lengthy delays in receiving payment. 'There was a lot of pressure' Megan Rankin of Lower River Inhabitants, Richmond County, was originally hired as a service agent for the Port Hawkesbury Elections Canada office. But on the day of her orientation session, she was abruptly reassigned to be the office co-ordinator, she said. Rankin, who had previously worked in provincial electoral offices, said she immediately sensed a lack of communication and organization as the April 20 advance poll approached. "Because this election was important to so many, there was a lot riding on it to make sure everything worked out really well. So there was a lot of pressure," she said. "Somebody would come in and tell you what you were supposed to be doing, and you'd be doing it, and someone else would come right in after them and say, 'No, no, scrap that, you're not supposed to be doing that, we need something else done.'" Rankin said the confusion extended to voters, with some sent to polling stations several kilometres out of their way. Elections Canada cards mailed to voters in St. Peter's, in eastern Richmond County, advised them to travel to a polling station in St. Francis Harbour, Guysborough County. Multiple polling stations were established in small communities, while larger neighbouring communities had only a single polling station. Elections Canada did not respond to the specific complaints when contacted by the CBC to address the workers' concerns. Communications officer Matthew McKenna said in a statement only that late-campaign staff vacancies were filled by a new assistant returning officer and co-ordinator brought in from outside Cape Breton-Canso-Antigonish. Rankin said she feels a lack of knowledge — both at the local and national levels — about the new riding's size hindered the efficiency of the process. "We had over 200 polls, from advance polls to the regular polling. And we ran from Antigonish right up to Neils Harbour, and Louisbourg, and all the little places in between. And we had to make sure they had all the right materials," she said. "So, logistically, it was a nightmare." Payment delays frustrate election workers Lisa Skinner, one of two central poll supervisors in her home community of Arichat, echoed Rankin's concerns about low morale, poor office organization and placement of polling stations in areas outside of their traditional communities. Skinner also criticized a payment system that meant some workers didn't receive their remuneration until nearly two months after the federal campaign ended. She said the 2025 election was the third straight federal vote that was followed by lengthy payment delays. "When I called the Elections Canada payroll line, they were very quick to blame the Cape Breton-Canso-Antigonish returning office," Skinner said. She said she received calls from numerous election workers wondering when their paycheques would arrive. While Skinner said workers were told in the early stages of the campaign that their pay might not arrive quickly, she asserted that Elections Canada has to "do better" in future votes. "You might not be shovelling dirt or you might not be out on a fishing boat, and everybody says 'Oh, you're working in an office,' but it's still hard work. It's mentally draining, and we work hard," Skinner said.

Sask. premier, industry leaders, highlight nuclear energy among tariff concerns
As Hallee Mandryk tells us, Premier Moe answered questions alongside industry leaders about the importance of nuclear energy amid U.S. tariffs. The future of nuclear energy in the midst of a trade war proved to be a particularly timely discussion at the Midwestern Legislative Conference (MLC) Tuesday morning. Lawmakers from four provinces and eleven states have gathered in Saskatoon for the annual event, and the 'Fueling North America's Energy Sector' panel featured industry leaders and lawmakers discussing the future of energy. '[There's] no better place to have that broader, longer-term discussion on our collective energy security. We will find our way through this trade tariff discussion. I'm concerned that it's going to get tougher before it gets better,' Premier Scott Moe told media following the panel. 'But we need to find our way through it so that we can get back to doing what we do best, and that's trade with products north and south of the 49th parallel.' Much of the panel was spent discussing how North America is shifting towards nuclear energy. Cameco CEO Tim Gitzel was also on the panel, and shared how while the tariffs are a barrier, they are not a roadblock. 'We know we need electricity whether there's tariffs or not. The world and North America needs a lot more electricity, and so we continue to work on that. And, we're getting great cooperation between Canada and the U.S. on nuclear electricity, and so we'll continue,' Gitzel said. While Canada/U.S. relations have been strained since President Donald Trump imposed tariffs, the conference provided an opportunity for officials on both sides of the border to discuss the relationship between the two countries. 'For many of us, it's been embarrassing ... kind of horrific knowing that for years I've spent my whole life 60 years we have seen Canada as a very close ally,' Ann Johnson Stewart, a state senator from Minnesota said. 'Many of my friends are from Canada. We go to Canada. You know, I live in Minnesota, so I really appreciated what [the] premier said about we just need to push forward.' The state senator highlighted that this conference is an opportunity to build cross border relationships away from the shadow of the White House. 'We need to get back to ignoring the politics and ridiculous things coming out of Washington and work forward towards more collaboration, especially around energy. Johnson Stewart added. Both industry leaders and politicians agreed that the demand for energy is as important as ever, thanks to the rise of new technology such as artificial intelligence – which requires an immense amount of electricity. 'You need baseload 24/7 reliable power – and that's got to be hydro or nuclear or gas and so we're going to need all of the above,' Gitzel said. The discussion highlighted a desire for nuclear energy not only in Saskatchewan – but also for North America to become the main producer of nuclear technology and fuel for other nations. 'This is what makes free and free and fair trade between Canada and the U.S. such an advantage for us when it comes to determining our own future with energy security or general security,' Moe noted. '[But it] also provides us with the opportunity then to cost effectively export this type of technology to places like Western Europe where they're trying to move away from Russian reactors.'

PM Carney assembling cabinet today to talk U.S. trade, Middle East
OTTAWA – Prime Minister Mark Carney is meeting virtually with his cabinet today to discuss the state of trade negotiations with the U.S. and the situation in the Middle East. The meeting is scheduled for 2 p.m. ET. Minister responsible for Canada-U.S. Trade Dominic LeBlanc is in Washington today meeting with U.S. officials. Carney said Monday that Canada's negotiations with the United States are in an 'intense phase' after President Donald Trump clinched a critical agreement with the European Union. Trump told reporters last week that Canada wasn't a priority ahead of his Aug. 1 deadline to make trade deals. Ministers are also expected to discuss the situation in the Middle East after the government announced Monday that it's adding $30 million to its humanitarian funding for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and $10 million to 'accelerate reform and capacity-building for the Palestinian Authority.' This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 30, 2025.
