  • Anti-hate bill could mean 10 years in prison for obstructing access to places of worship
    A new federal anti-hate bill would make it a crime, punishable by up to 10 years in prison, to obstruct someone from accessing a place of worship or other sites where Jews, Muslims and other identifiable groups gather, including by blocking doors, driveways and roads. The Combatting Hate bill would also criminalize the promotion of hatred toward religious and ethnic groups by publicly displaying terror or hate symbols, including the swastika and insignia of the Nazi SS.

Cenovus Energy Inc. CVE-T says its cash-and-stock bid for MEG Energy Corp. MEG-T offers a premium valuation and certainty over a rival all-stock offer by Strathcona Resources Ltd. SCR-T
