Alberta babies have been born with measles due to outbreaks, worrying doctors
As the province's measles case count approaches 1,000, health experts are raising the alarm about Alberta babies who are being born already infected with the virus. The provincial government has confirmed cases of congenital measles, which can lead to severe complications, including death, have already occurred as a result of this year's outbreaks. Pregnant Albertans are also testing positive. "Fewer than five cases of congenital measles have been reported in Alberta in 2025. In each case, the mother was not immunized. Information on whether the infants were born prematurely is not available," an official with Primary and Preventative Health Services said in an email. "To date, there have been 20 confirmed cases of measles in pregnant individuals. Fewer than five have been hospitalized due to the infection." The Alberta government does not publish this information publicly. CBC News asked for the data after Ontario reported a premature baby, born infected with measles, died. That province has reported seven cases of congenital measles since mid-October. When CBC News asked for more detailed data, an official said the province limits the release of information when case numbers are very small for privacy reasons. The data was up-to-date as of June 12. No measles deaths have been reported in Alberta since the outbreaks began this year. As of June 14, a total of 85 Albertans had been hospitalized due to the infection, including 14 intensive care unit admissions. By midday Thursday, the province's total measles case count had climbed to 996. Pregnant individuals are at higher risk of complications from measles. "We're extremely concerned about the potential for exposures for unimmunized mothers, in particular during pregnancy, given that there is an increased risk for premature birth and complications that are pretty significant for the mother," said Dr. Amber Reichert, an Edmonton-based neonatologist. "There is an extremely high risk to either pregnancy loss or potentially an early birth or potentially the babies becoming infected as well." A recent editorial in the Canadian Medical Association Journal warned of these serious consequences. Premature birth itself comes with risks, including underdeveloped lungs and babies requiring breathing support. In addition, pregnant people can get very sick from a measles infection, often due to pneumonia. "There is a ten-fold higher risk of death when a person who is pregnant gets measles," said Dr. Eliana Castillo, an obstetrician and clinical associate professor in the department of medicine at the University of Calgary. Congenital measles occurs when the mother passes the infection along in the final two weeks of pregnancy and the baby is born infected, according to Castillo. It can spark severe complications in the infant, including brain inflammation and even death, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "Those babies can be very, very sick," said Castillo. Ontario announced earlier this month that a premature baby born with congenital measles had died. The infant's mother was unimmunized. At the time, health officials said measles was a "significant contributing factor" to the premature death but that the baby also had other serious health problems. In addition to a fever and rash, babies with congenital measles can be born with other symptoms, including inflammation of the liver, physicians are warning. "They potentially could also present with pneumonia or potentially have an infection around the brain, which is called encephalitis," said Reichert. If the baby is born early — and has congenital measles — there is a higher risk of serious lung disease due to the immaturity of their lungs, she added. And beyond the immediate health concerns, there are several potential and serious long-term consequences, including a rare but debilitating neurological illness that manifests years later. Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis is a virus that hides in the brain for years. It eventually flares up, triggering brain inflammation and causing children or young adults to lose the ability to move and speak. In nearly all cases patients die. According to Reichert, the risk of this complication is believed to be higher when a baby is born with measles or is infected early in infancy. "It's a devastating consequence because it really isn't treatable," said Reichert. Babies can also experience immune system impacts that leave them more highly susceptible to illness, Castillo said. Measles is highly contagious and health officials have warned that given low immunization rates in parts of the province, official case counts are the tip of the iceberg and there are likely more cases going unreported. It's a major worry for physicians. "Everyone is concerned this is going to be happening for months at a time," Castillo said, adding that as case counts rise, so too do the chances that more babies will be infected and potentially face life-altering or life-threatening complications. She's concerned that Albertans don't fully understand the risks that go along with pregnancy and measles. "We have not had a concerted public health response, particularly to raise awareness about how serious it can be for babies and pregnant individuals," she said, adding she's glad the province shared the data it did when requested by CBC News. "But again they're not in the public domain. And that makes it very, very hard because we haven't had the concerted effort to raise awareness … and give people the tools to make decisions." CBC News asked the province if it will publish this information moving forward, but did not hear back prior to publication time. Reichert wants Albertans to understand the risks and she's urging everyone to ensure that they and their children are immunized to protect both themselves and others around them who may not be able to be immunized. Mothers who are immunized pass antibodies on to the fetus during pregnancy, offering protection during a baby's first few months of life. The measles vaccine (MMR) is not generally recommended during pregnancy in Canada. Pregnant Albertans who are unimmunized and have been exposed to measles and infants under six months of age are among the high risk groups who may be offered immune globulin, a short-acting antibody medication that can protect against the virus. It must be given within six days of exposure. According to the province, 52 people have received it including 37 infants since the outbreaks began in March. The province did not say how many of the adults were pregnant. Alberta is also offering an early and extra dose of the measles vaccine to babies as young as six months living in the harder hit south, central and north zones.

Alberta companies ordered to repay almost $165K to temporary foreign workers
Two Alberta-based companies are appealing Ontario labour ministry decisions that say they charged temporary foreign workers tens of thousands of dollars to be placed in retail jobs at a Canadian Tire. The companies were ordered to repay almost $165,000. Some of the workers were originally from the Philippines but ended up at a Canadian Tire in Etobicoke, Ont. Though they said they each paid up to $7,900 US to an Alberta company to get the position, once they got the jobs, they say they were underpaid and poorly treated. Many of the workers quit and found jobs in Atlantic Canada and other provinces around the country. An employment standards officer from the Ontario Ministry of Labour conducted an investigation following a series of complaints from workers in October 2023. The ministry issued repayment orders on May 14 against Allison Jones Consulting and AJ Immigration Group in eight cases. Both companies share an owner, Allison Jones, and a common address in St. Albert, Alta. Allison Jones declined an interview and told CBC News via email that the companies are appealing the decisions. "We trust the appeal process and are committed to a fair and accurate resolution based on a complete review of the facts," she wrote. One of the workers who received the recent decision was Rowell Pailan, who previously shared his story with CBC News from his home in Wolfville, N.S. Pailan says he came to Canada in 2023 after being offered a position as a stock clerk supervisor at an Ontario Canadian Tire. However, paystubs he showed CBC News indicated that while he started being paid at the wage in his contract, his wages were later reduced, making it challenging for him to pay his bills and provide for his family in the Philippines. He says he got the position after he paid the fee to Jones' company using money borrowed from family members. The Ontario Labour Ministry's employment standards officer said Jones should repay Pailan $10,655.52 in Canadian dollars, the calculated equivalent of the $7,900 US he paid in 2022, plus a ten per cent administration fee. "I [was] so happy and teary-eyed, because finally I got justice," he said in a phone interview. "Maybe they [were] thinking that they can do whatever they want, because we are eager to come into Canada," Pailan said, adding that he wants to send a message that people should not "take advantage" of temporary foreign workers. "We didn't have any idea about the amount in regards to the immigration fee, or whatever it is to come into Canada." Companies acted together, decision says It's illegal under federal and Ontario law for a recruiter to charge a foreign worker for a job placement; the recruiter is supposed to be paid by the employer. However, it is legal to charge a fee for immigration advice or assistance with immigration paperwork. In the written decision issued to Pailan and reviewed by CBC News, a lawyer for the two companies told the employment standards officer that Allison Jones Consulting and AJ Immigration are "separate and independent" companies, each with their own branding and invoicing. The lawyer told the officer that Allison Jones Consulting charged Canadian Tire for recruiting services, while AJ Immigration Group was a separate entity that provided immigration services to the foreign workers and charged them fees for these services. This did not convince employment standards officer Charles Beauparlant, who concluded the fees were not legal because both companies were related. He found they shared "common management" in the owner, Allison Jones. "It does not change the fact that both businesses functioned as one comprehensive and unified business," Beauparlant wrote in his decision in Pailan's case. Jones' position, according to the lawyer, was that she is the "directing mind" behind the recruitment company, but not the other company as she "does not participate in the day-to-day operation of AJ Immigration." In her email to CBC News, Jones re-stated her position. "We respectfully disagree with the findings and with the characterization of these two companies — Allison Jones Consulting Services Inc. and AJ Immigration Group Inc. — as a 'unified business,' " she wrote. "Each is a distinct legal entity, and both maintain that their respective practices fully comply with applicable legislation." Beauparlant found that evidence like employee emails and information on Jones' two business websites showed both companies were sharing employees and that Jones was the "controlling mind" behind both. He also noted that Jones was described as the leader of both companies in a sentence on the website for Allison Jones Consulting that read: "She has successfully led the companies since inception creating one of Canada's leading recruitment agencies and immigration consultancies." As well, Beauparlant wrote, "having AJ Immigration Group Inc. collect fees through a retainer agreement after each phase of recruitment demonstrates not only their involvement but further confirms that AJ Immigration was assisting in the process of finding the claimant employment." Pailan previously told CBC News that he had to pay in three stages. The officer issued identical orders to both of Jones' companies, but the Ontario Labour Ministry told CBC News the intent was that the companies should repay Pailan "jointly," not twice over. The ministry also fined Allison Jones Consulting $250 for each of the eight cases, totalling $2,000. 'An affront to our entire system' Chris Ramsaroop is an instructor at the University of Toronto and an organizer with Justice for Migrant Workers, which supported Pailan's case. He says it concerns him that workers must be the ones to ensure the process is followed. "There's an expectation that [the workers] need to come forward, rather than the province or the federal government taking steps to protect the interests of workers," he said. "This is an affront to our entire system — this is disgusting." Ramsaroop feels temporary foreign workers like Pailan are in extremely vulnerable positions, and placing the onus on them to pursue the case to the next level when there is an appeal is a high burden. Pailan says he worries that he won't get the money back after an appeal. "That amount is not a joke, it's totally big," he said, adding that he's trying to repay his relatives who lent him the money. Ramsaroop noted that temporary foreign workers are often tied to a single job by virtue of the closed-permit system, which makes their position in Canada vulnerable. "These injustices will continue as a result of a system where we have workers tied to a particular employer," he said. WATCH | Why this professor believes closed permit system should end: Canadian Tire store still under investigation The Ontario Ministry of Labour confirmed it's also investigating complaints against the Canadian Tire store where the workers were employed, but the case is still open. There is a separate federal investigation underway by Employment and Social Development Canada into that Canadian Tire, but as of early June, it wasn't complete either. The store owner, Ezhil Natarajan, previously told CBC News he "vehemently denies" all the allegations against him. Canadian Tire Corporation made a policy change in the fall of 2024 to prohibit its stores from using recruiters that charge fees to temporary foreign workers. The corporation said it made the decision together with its dealers, who own franchised stores and make their own hiring decisions.

Former N.S. school principal acquitted in historical sexual assault case
A former Halifax-area elementary school principal has been acquitted in a historical sexual assault case. Judge Alanna Murphy announced her decision in the matter of Steve Hutchins in a provincial courtroom in Dartmouth, N.S. on Tuesday. Hutchins, 60, was found not guilty in relation to one count each of sexual assault and sexual interference for offences alleged to have occurred in the late 1980s and early 1990s. "I cannot be satisfied to the degree that I need to be to make a finding of guilt and consequently it would be dangerous for me to make findings of guilt in relation to the two counts before the court," Murphy told the court. A woman, now 43, alleged Hutchins assaulted her when she was attending grades 3 to 6 at elementary schools in the Eastern Passage area where Hutchins was a gym teacher. A trial was held over three days in March. The woman, whose identity is protected by a publication ban, testified Hutchins would hold her in tight embraces in supply rooms adjacent to the gyms in the schools, or sometimes in Hutchins's office. Hutchins denied all of the complainant's allegations while under questioning by his lawyer, Don Murray. During his testimony, Hutchins used photographs and hand-drawn floor plans to demonstrate the layout of the schools to suggest the sort of encounters the woman described would not have been possible. "I cannot say that the complainant's evidence was so persuasive and compelling that it rendered Mr. Hutchins's evidence unbelievable," Murphy said while delivering her decision. "I can say that at the very least his evidence has left me with reasonable doubt," she said. Murray declined a request from CBC News for a comment from his client. Acquitted in separate case Hutchins was also acquitted in a different historical sexual assault case last fall. In a separate incident, a woman accused him of giving her an open-mouthed kiss and touching her body at a social function at a home in Hammonds Plains when she was 14. The woman said she did not go to police until stories surfaced about charges laid against Hutchins involving another woman. The judge in that case said while she found the complainant's testimony to be credible, she was left with some doubt and so had to acquit Hutchins. MORE TOP STORIES
