Multiple Events Dominate Headlines: Shooting in Canada, US Job Growth, and Legal Battles
Ottawa, Canada - Several significant events are making headlines this week, including a mass shooting in British Columbia, a surprising surge in US job growth, and a legal defeat for plant-based drink maker Oatly. Former co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck's return to "The View" also sparked reactions, and Swiss bar owners face questioning over a fire disaster.
In Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, a mass shooting claimed the lives of nine people, with the assailant also deceased, according to The Guardian. Mark Carney, visibly shaken, addressed the nation, promising that "we will get through this." Flags were flown at half-mast across the country following the attack.
Meanwhile, the US job market showed unexpected strength in January. Employers added a greater-than-expected 130,000 jobs, pushing the unemployment rate down to 4.3%, as reported by BBC Business. This growth comes after a weak 2025, when only 181,000 jobs were added, according to the latest data. The White House has pushed back against concerns, according to BBC Business.
In other news, Oatly, the plant-based drink maker, lost a long-running legal battle over its use of the word "milk." The UK Supreme Court ruled that Oatly could not trademark or use the phrase "post-milk generation," upholding Dairy UK's argument that "milk" should only refer to animal products, as reported by BBC Business.
In Switzerland, bar owner Jacques Moretti was questioned by lawyers representing victims' families regarding a New Year's Day fire disaster in Crans-Montana that resulted in 41 deaths and 115 injuries, according to BBC World. His wife, Jessica, is scheduled to be questioned on Thursday. One mother told Swiss TV that she needed to know what had gone wrong and why.
Finally, "The View" co-host Joy Behar and show producer Brian Teta discussed fan reaction to Elisabeth Hasselbeck's return to the show while Alyssa Farah Griffin is on maternity leave, according to Fox News. Behar noted that there was a lot of reaction to Hasselbeck's return.
