OTTAWA — Cowessess First Nation Chief Erica Beaudin says she is "disappointed' that Conservative House Leader Andrew Scheer used clean drinking water legislation as a political "tactic." Bill C-61 recognizes First Nations have an inherent right to clean drinking water and commits the government to providing "adequate and sustainable" funding for water services in First Nations. It remains stalled at third reading in the House of Commons because of an ongoing privilege debate that has prevented the consideration of bills since late September. Today Liberal MP Jaime Battiste asked for unanimous consent to forward the First Nations Clean Drinking Water Act to the Senate but several MPs said no. Scheer, who's riding includes Cowessess, rose immediately afterward for a similar motion that also condemned the Liberal government for inaction but it was also defeated. While Cowessess doesn't currently have a boil water advisory, Beaudin says people in her community rely on bottled water because they don't trust what comes from their taps.

The ministry said landings at the airport were suspended until 0300 local time (0000 GMT) while authorities towed the plane from the runway. All 89 passengers and six crew were safely evacuated from the Sukhoi Superjet 100 passenger plane operated by Azimuth Airlines from the Russian Black Sea resort of Sochi, the ministry said. A video shared on social media by Airport Haber news website showed emergency units responding at the site of the fire, with flames and smoke coming out of the aircraft's engine. Videos shared by the transport ministry following the incident showed the aircraft with fire extinguishing foam underneath as firefighters continue to spray the left-side engine to cool it down. Azimuth Airlines said the plane had made a rough landing owing to wind shear. Russia's Federal Aviation Authority, Rosaviatsiya, said it was investigating the incident. Flight tracking website FlightRadar24 said the aircraft was seven years old. Russia is short of aircraft due to Western sanctions imposed in connection with Moscow's 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

It’s that magical time of year when the nights sparkle. But before the celebrations can truly begin, the fun part is transforming your home and giving it some festive spirit. This year’s trends are all about warmth, luxury, and an elegance that is eco-conscious. A key part of any Christmas decor are metallics and this year they are taking centre stage. But instead of limiting yourself to traditional silver and gold, consider mixing metals in a way that adds subtle glamour. Bronze, champagne gold, copper and matte silver create a fresh, luxe feel when combined with warm textures like wool, velvet, and faux fur. For instance, gold-rimmed glassware or copper candle holders keep things festive and elegant.

Indianapolis Colts coach Shane Steichen seemed to sense the question might arise after his club was eliminated from playoff consideration Sunday with a ghastly 45-33 loss to the host New York Giants in East Rutheford, N.J. The Giants were 2-13 and had lost a franchise-record 10 straight games entering the contest and their season-high point total Sunday more than tripled their season average of 14.3 points per game. It was the type of bad loss that leads to head coaches being asked about their job security. "I control what I can control," Steichen said of the employment situation. The Colts (7-9) were outplayed all contest by the team that entered the day with the worst record in the NFL -- and with their playoff hopes on the line. Last season, Steichen's first as Indianapolis coach, the Colts also fell short, losing to the Houston Texans in the final week of the season to miss the playoffs. "It was as disappointing as it gets," Steichen said of the setback against the Giants. "As the leader of a football team, shoot, I always say I've got to be better, we've all got to be better. That's a group effort, everyone's got to chip in and do their part, so stuff like that doesn't happen." Giants quarterback Drew Lock passed for 309 yards and tied his career high of four touchdowns while also running for a score. Meanwhile, the Colts also went with a reserve quarterback in veteran Joe Flacco and he turned the ball over three times on two interceptions and a fumble. He also passed for 330 yards. Flacco started because rookie Anthony Richardson couldn't play due to back and foot injuries. Indianapolis completes the season next weekend at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars. "I know it's a tough situation, obviously, when you're out of the playoff hunt, but again, I told (the team) we've got to be professional about it," Steichen said. "That's the biggest thing. We've got to show up and do our job still with one week left." The Colts last made the playoffs in the 2020 season. Their last playoff win was two seasons earlier. --Field Level Media
