Air Miles cancels plans for expiry dates on points

You still may be able to fly south for a winter vacation after all.

Air Miles has changed its mind on putting a time limit on points. The reward program is cancelling plans that would have seen collectors lose any miles not used within five years. There are 11 million active Air Miles collectors. Some welcomed the news but others are angry because they’ve already cashed out their old points in anticipation of losing them.

Big fentanyl bust out west

A Montreal man is facing multiple charges after the seizure of a large amount of fentanyl-laced heroin at the Vancouver Airport.

The package came from China, which recently signed an agreement with the RCMP to crack down on such shipments. That seizure led officers to another bust in Saanich on Vancouver Island. They found over 6,000 individual doses of fentanyl-laced heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine.
