Flight leaves Libya without Canadian Passengers

An airplane that was intended to take Canadians out of Libya Friday reportedly left without any passenger. A Canadian Government official says that no Canadians were at the airport at the time. The aircraft could not stay. 

It is unclear why there were no Canadians at the airport. As many as two-hundred Canadians have left Libya on flights so far. But the Canadian Government has struggled to get its citizens out. A previous flight had to be cancelled due to security reasons.

Get ready for more snow.

Environment Canada is predicting about 15 centimetres of snow Friday, with winds up to eighty kilometres an hour. The snow is likely to start in the morning, with the temperature around freezing for most of the day.

Drivers are being asked to drive with caution as the high winds will cause blowing snow.
