them. We know speed cameras work. So can we improve it? Absolutely. We're in the middle of doing it and then bang, gone. Do I see any rationale behind it? No. Mayors also say with the cameras gone, municipalities are losing an important source of revenue. The Ford government says it will provide more than $200 million for alternative road safety measures like speed bumps and raised crosswalks. The Supreme Court of Canada has upheld the federal law on drunk driving tests. It sets the same. standard that all provinces and territories have to follow, but it was challenged by two men from New Brunswick convicted of drunk driving. Olivia Stefanovic has those details. In 2018, the federal

government introduced changes to impair driving laws, including mandatory alcohol screening across the country. The move authorized law enforcement to demand a breath sample at the roadside from any driver. Now, the Supreme Court of Canada has upheld those criminal code amendments. It dismissed appeals from two men in New Brunswick convicted of drunk driving. They challenged who can administer breathalisers and the quality of evidence. In response, the top court released two decisions Friday morning. In separate eight to one rulings, the High Court upheld the convictions against both men and ruled any changes to impair driving cases would go against Parliament's goal of making drunk driving cases simple and efficient.

Ottawa. The Saskatchewan Rough Riders will face off against the Montreal Alouettes in the 112th Grey Cup this weekend. This is the last game before some controversial CFL rule changes take effect next season. Karen Pauls explains. The new rules

embrace innovation and perpetual improvement while protecting what makes Canadian football special. In September, the league's new commissioner, Stuart Johnston, announced a series of changes to take place in the next two years, including shortening the field in end zones, moving the goalposts to the back of the end zone,

and eliminating one of the quirkiest rules in the CFL, known as the Rouge. A single point awarded when the ball is kicked wide of the goalposts and goes out the back of the end zone. Some fans and players worried that changes are too much like the NFL. Friday, Johnston said he is committed to the Canadian version of the game. Three downs, 12 players, unlimited motion, 65 yards wide, and Q Genzo. Meanwhile, the Great Cup is sold out. Winnipeg already buzzing with passionate fans.
