‘Something pretty special': N.S. cider appellation is a first in Canada
The Nova Scotia Cider Association has launched Canada's first cider appellation called 'Red Sky.' Poet Comeau, the owner of Lake City Cider and president of the Nova Scotia Cider Association, said the cider showcases the high quality of apples grown in the province. 'I think it's just about looking at what we have here in Nova Scotia and realizing that it's something pretty special,' said Comeau in an interview with CTV's Todd Battis on Friday. 'Red sky at night, sailors' delight. Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning. It's just that connection to where we are and how unique Nova Scotia is.' Comeau said a cider can only be recognized as a 'Red Sky' if it meets certain standards. 'There's quality control, there's a blank tasting and you need to submit samples for the blind tasting to get though the qualifications. There are even things around sugar levels, acid levels, and you need to have a blend of apples and not one particular type.' There are currently nine qualifying ciders available across the province, said Comeau, with all of them being available at the NSLC around the end of August for a short period of time. Reducing interprovincial trade barriers With provinces changing rules around importing and exporting alcohol across the country, Comeau said it's important that Canadian products are being consumed by Canadians. 'I think that the best products that are made in Canada should be enjoyed by Canadians,' she said. 'It's going to take a little bit of time and reworking just because we are used to the way things used to work, but I think the idea about reducing some of those barriers is really about getting great products across Canada.' Comeau said ciders are different from other products as apples cannot grow in every climate. 'Apples don't grow everywhere. I think it makes our product a little more unique. It does create opportunities and markets where maybe they don't have cideries. I think a great way to promote something like 'Red Sky' is with that restaurant experience and pairing it with food and enjoying it with others.'

Decades-old barbershop to shut its doors ahead of Westgate Mall demolition
One corner of Ottawa's Westgate Mall that's been filled with the sound of hair trimmers and laughter will soon fall silent, as Ramon Carballude and his barbershop prepare for the end of an era. Westgate Barber Shop will close its doors Thursday after decades of business. Carballude, who joined the barber shop in 1968 shortly after immigrating to Canada, says that while he feels "terrible" about the closure, it's inevitable. The city's oldest mall, located on the southwest corner of Merivale Road and Carling Avenue, is slated to close Oct. 31. It will be demolished to make way for a grocery store and residential towers, according to River ward Coun. Riley Brockington. For Carballude, the closure represents the end of decades of memories. 'All my life' Now 85, Carballude learned his trade in a small town in Galicia, Spain, before coming to Canada in 1965. Back then, barbers needed a licence to operate. After a few years working in construction, Carballude passed his Canadian licensing exams in 1968 on his first try and began working at the shop. Over the years he's done thousands of haircuts and made connections with people across the country. Customers have come from as far as Nanaimo, B.C., several times a year for his services, he said. "We try to be nice to the people. And people are nice to you," he said. "They don't get the same service in other places." Carballude plans to keep cutting hair, moving about a kilometre west on Carling Avenue to a new location owned by his long-time employees. It will be called The New Westgate Barber Shop. Still, he says, he'll miss the memories. "I've been here all my life," he said. "I deal with the people. I talk to the people. And people are nice. Why [do] you want [us] to disappear?" Juan Vo, one of the co-owners of the new location, said he's nervous about starting fresh. He's been working at the Westgate Mall shop for 27 years. "I will miss it very much," he said. "A lot of people come and go, you know." Community has 'evolving needs' The mall is owned by RioCan, an investment trust with properties across Canada. According to an emailed statement, RioCan confirmed all tenants — save for the Shoppers Drug Mart — will be required to move out by the fall as part of a "revitalization plan to support the community's evolving needs." "We are grateful to all our tenants for their long-standing support and presence at Westgate and remain committed to a smooth transition," the statement said. Brockington said the mall isn't as busy as it used to be. He added RioCan has been clear with the city about its process, and he has engaged in soliciting feedback from people in his ward. He said the revitalization plan will help implement the city's long-term strategic plans for urban intensification. "The city has to make room over 30 years for 400,000 more people, so we have to do our part. And when you look at a major artery like Carling, that's where you expect height and density to be built." Still, he says he understands the sentimental value in Westgate Mall. "As a councillor you have to thread the needle between respecting established mature communities and the need to facilitate infill and more growth. And that isn't always easy." ARCHIVES | Westgate opens in Ottawa 10 years ago Westgate was the first mall in Ottawa when it opened in the 1950s.

Delays, cancellations, compensation disputes, Canada's transport agency is drowning in airline complaints
Travellers look at the arrival and departure board at Montreal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport in Montreal, Friday, Sept.13, 2024. (Christinne Muschi/The Canadian Press) A backlog of 85,000 complaints from air passengers is piling up at the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA), and one advocate says the system is failing passengers. From delays and cancellations to compensation disputes, the CTA is drowning in complaints. 'It is going to take them more than two years to deal with just a current backlog,' said Air Passenger Rights founder Gabor Lukacs. Since the CTA resolution office launched in 2023, the number of complaints continues to grow. Lukacs said that the agency's method of dealing with grievances is complicated and ultimately fails customers. 'In Canada, they have this system where the airline will say, 'Well, it's outside our control, so we don't have to pay you anything,' he said, adding that, from the airline's perspective, it's easier and more profitable to refuse to pay and instead tell passengers to file a complaint through the CTA. 'So the Canadian Transportation Agency has the power to fine airlines that don't obey the law, but they're not using those powers,' he said. The CTA said it's proposing charging airlines nearly $800 for each eligible complaint, but for some airlines, the proposal is not welcome. 'Charging airlines $790 for each complaint, including the vast majority when we are found to have applied the legislation correctly, would not be balanced nor an equitable way of addressing the issue,' said Air Canada in a statement. "Air Canada cooperates with the CTA on a continuous basis, and our standard is to respond swiftly to all files transmitted by the agency and meet their response deadlines." 'The Canadian Transportation Agency's punitive proposal reflects a troubling disconnect between the Agency and the realities of Canada's economy and aviation sector,' said Westjet. 'Imposing additional costs on Canadian travellers, in an industry already oversaturated with high government taxes and fees, is very concerning—particularly during an affordability crisis in Canada." Westjet adds that the agency's priority should be dealing with improving its administration and reducing wait times. The CTA said, however, that in 2024-2025, the agency closed over 33,600 complaints, but did not say how many were resolved in favour of passengers. Lukacs said he's taking the CTA to court due to the agency's lack of transparency. 'Because not only that, it takes more than two years, and they have a huge backlog,' he said. 'They're also trying to gag passengers who have a case before them.' In the meantime, he says that if passengers have complaints against airlines, heading to a small claims court is a better option. CTV News reached out to Canada's Ministry of Transportation for comment, but did not hear back.
