Counterfeit $50 and $100 bills are floating around the Battlefords. RCMP say they have received several complaints from businesses. In one case, two males tried to purchase inexpensive items at businesses with large denomination bills. Employees noticed the poor quality counterfeits before the transactions were completed. In another case, a First Nations female bought fuel with a fake $50 bill before staff realized it was phony. There are also two Caucasian males who are wanted. Police say the suspects have been identified. Anyone with information is asked to contact Battlefords RCMP or Crime Stoppers.

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.
The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.
T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
