B.C. closes coal mine after methane leak
After reports of a methane leak at a coal mine in B.C., the provincial government has closed the mine down. The leak was caused by an underground fire, which officials say posed an "extreme" risk to population and environment safety.
It's unclear how many people were affected by the closure, but local businesses have been impacted.
Canadian Economy
The Canadian economy is slowly but surely recovering, with unemployment dropping to 7.0% in October from 7.3% a year earlier and the country's two largest banks posting better than expected third-quarter results.
The government has also been doing its part with stimulus measures such as a lower interest rate on federal student loans and a $35-billion infrastructure fund. But experts say more needs to be done, including further reductions in red tape and improving trade ties with the United States.
