Alberta has unveiled its plan to fight the Federal Firearms Buyback Program. An order paper filed by the province's justice minister says Alberta will use all legal means possible to push back against implementation. That includes refusing to provide prosecution and police resources to enforce the federal laws. The Alberta government says Ottawa's gun policies are unconstitutional and infringe on the rights of law-abiding Albertans. Quebec is the latest province to try to tackle sky-high resale ticket prices for sports and entertainment events.

A new bill demands greater transparency from the websites to ensure fans know what they're buying. Sarah Levitt has more. consumer protection minister Simon Jean-Lain Barrett says resale ticket sites are getting out of hand. The new law will put the onus on resale sites to make it clear they're selling the tickets at a higher price and they must post the original price.

The government was prompted to take action following a tribute concert to the late frontmen of the group Le Cowboy Fringen. The group opted to hold a public event for free at the Bell Center. Tickets were snagged, with some being resold for upwards of $500. Sarah Eve Lavek is with Option Consumateur, a consumer advocacy group. What we've seen is that sometimes consumers will buy tickets on a resale site and not know they're on a resale site.

The Quebec bill won't go as far as the United Kingdom, though, where reselling tickets will be banned outright unless sold at face value. Sarah Levitt's CBC News, Montreal. Donald Trump is threatening to expand his... attacks on a led South American drug traffickers. So far, the strikes have hit boats in Caribbean waters. But as Katie Simpson reports, today the U.S. President repeated his threat that targets on land will be next. Welcome to the final cabinet meeting of 2025. U.S. President Donald Trump kicked off what would become a lengthy and unusual meeting, unexpectedly announcing his plan to expand

U.S. attacks on international drug traffickers, beyond the American airstrikes, currently targeting boats in the Caribbean. And we're going to start doing those strikes on the land, too. You know, the land is much easier. It's much easier. And we know the routes they take. Trump didn't specify when this phase of the campaign would begin, other than to say, soon. The U.S. military has already surged resources to the Caribbean as tensions intensify.

And while Trump says Venezuelan drug traffickers have been the target of attack so far, that's not necessarily going to be the case moving forward. Anybody that's doing that and selling it into our country is subject to attack. Katie Simpson, CBC News, Washington. And that is your world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Neil Hurland.
