Kelowna-Lake Country MP Tracy Gray doesn’t care what former premier Christy Clark thinks of the federal Conservative party. On Thursday, Clark endorsed Jean Charest in the party’s leadership race, saying the Conservative Party of Canada is fighting “for the ends to play to the ends of the political divide.” Gray, along with most of the party’s other MPs, have lined up behind clear front-runner Pierre Pouliev. “Those of us from B....

Kelvin Edmondson first rented out his Tillsonburg home in August of last year before starting work on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. While he was away, the tenants neglected to pay rent, including heating and hydro, and significantly damaged his property by housing certain pets contrary to their original agreement. Edmondson said the tenants refused to leave on the agreed-upon move-in date of July 31. Now he owes about $13,000 and is on the verge of losing the house....

Wilfried Zaha’s first-half goal gave Palace the lead and when Nunes foolishly reacted to a push from Joachim Andersen, Jurgen Klopp’s side looked set for a miserable defeat in their first Premier League home game. With his team needing something special, Diaz gave them a fine solo goal that completely changed the mood at Anfield. It was impressive Palace who came closest to a winner when Zaha hit the post, but the draw means both sides remain winless this season....

Brennan Othmann and Joshua Roy each scored and contributed a pair of helpers for Canada (2-0-0), while Connor Bedard, Will Cuylle, Logan Stankoven and Olen Zellweger each added one. Zack Ostapchuk also scored. Matej Kaslik gave up the only goal for Slovakia (0-0-2) midway through the second period. Making his first start of the tournament, Canada’s Dylan Garand made 22 saves. Tomas Bolo stopped 33 of 44 shots for Slovakia....

L’histoire ne doit pas continuer à répandre des mensonges. Après tout, nous sommes censés lutter contre la désinformation, n’est-ce pas ? La religion est une idéologie Un : la religion n’est pas la race. Nous naissons noirs. Asiatique. Ou blanc. Mais nous ne naissons pas musulmans. Ou catholique. Ou bouddhiste. Il n’y a pas d’enfants musulmans (ou catholiques ou bouddhistes). Il y a des enfants dont les parents ont embrassé la foi musulmane (ou catholique ou bouddhiste) et veulent transmettre cette foi à leurs enfants....

Lors de la compétition, Pommery (21 ans) a pu se hisser sur la troisième marche du podium, grâce à un saut de 8,06 mètres à la quatrième tentative. Seulement le deuxième de sa jeune carrière sur 8m, après son record personnel de 8,17m fin mai. Mais il a rebondi au sixième et dernier saut lorsque le Suédois Thobias Montler a sauté exactement aussi loin que lui. Tout comme le britannique Jacob Fincham-Dukes....

CBS said in a statement, which was first reported by the Globe and Mailwas tasked with looking at ways to meet the demand for immunoglobulins in Canada and that “dialogue with commercial suppliers is necessarily part of that.” CBS’ statement comes amid ongoing shortages in plasma collection in Canada. “We’ve tried for a long time to get more and more plasma, to collect more plasma. But like every other country in the world that doesn’t compensate donors, we find that we’re constantly falling behind in collections,” said Peter Jaworski....

« C’est insultant et tout à fait inacceptable de voir que celui qui ne parle qu’anglais au Québec gagne plus que celui qui ne parle que français », a fulminé Jean-Paul Perreault, président d’Impératif français, un organisme de défense et de promotion du français. Selon l’étude réalisée par l’Office québécois de la langue française (OQLF) à partir des données du recensement de 2016, les personnes qui utilisent uniquement l’anglais au travail gagnent en moyenne 46 047 $ par année, soit 20 % de plus que le revenu moyen de 38 346 $ des personnes qui n’utilisent que le français; dirigeants riches Jean-Pierre Corbeil, professeur de sociologie à l’Université Laval, explique qu’il y a, dans la population qui ne parle que l’anglais au travail, «beaucoup de travailleurs immigrants pauvres, mais aussi des gens très riches»....

Special elections and regular primaries for the U.S. Senate, U.S. House, governor and lieutenant governor, and state legislative seats are on opposite sides of a two-sided ballot. It could take until Aug. 31 to find out if Palin or one of her rivals prevailed in the special election. The three candidates competing in this race are Republicans Palin and Nick Begich and Democrat Mary Peltola. The winner will serve the remainder of the late Congressman Don Young’s term....

The research findings were published in the journal Science. “Bandages, glues and stickers are common bioadhesives used at home or in clinics. However, they usually do not adhere well to wet skin. It is also difficult to control where they are applied and the strength and duration of the adhesion created,” said McGill University professor Jianyu Li, who led the research team of engineers, physicists, chemists and clinicians. “We were surprised to find that by simply playing with the intensity of the ultrasound, we can very precisely control the stickiness of the adhesive bandages on many tissues,” said lead author Zhenwei Ma, a former student of Professor Li....

Amini said she felt fear and began seeking asylum for herself and her family to escape Kabul. “We were worried about everything — our situation, our lives and especially our safety,” she told CNN in an interview from west London, where she now lives in temporary housing with her husband and four daughters. Before they left their house, Amini grabbed a pair of scissors, needle and thread. She cut rips in the lining of her dress and sewed in her most prized possession: her law degree....

UPDATE: 3:22 p.m Police shot and killed a suspect Sunday near Walhachin following an alleged kidnapping involving a woman and a child. Mounties were first alerted to the situation just before 5:30 p.m. when a woman called 911 from a vehicle asking for help. A short time later, a second caller reported a vehicle was driving erratically on the Trans-Canada Highway and a woman was trying to flee. A third party then called 911 to report that a family member and a child had been kidnapped....

Zimmer, 29, has held down a spot on Toronto’s roster since being acquired in an Opening Day trade that sent righty Anthony Castro back to Cleveland. He had an extremely limited role this season and struggled mightily when he entered the lineup, hitting just .105/.209/.237 on the season. Of course, despite appearing in 77 games this year, Zimmer has just 87 plate appearances — a total that reflects his status as a purely defensive replacement and late-game pinch hitter option....

Imagination runs wild in the absence of facts. The most tantalizing detail is that 11 sets of documents were classified. It sheds light on the classification system by which the government withholds information from its own people in the name of national security for all. More than a million people have top secret clearance It’s actually a very large universe of people with access to top secret data. The Director of National Intelligence publishes what is described as an annual report, “Security Clearance Determinations,” although the most recent I could find was from 2017....

In the 12 months since the chaotic withdrawal of the United States, some Afghans have welcomed improved security but have struggled with poverty, drought, malnutrition and women’s fading hope that they will have a decisive role in the country’s future. Some men fired shots into the air in Kabul and a few hundred people, including supporters, militants and officials gathered in the square in front of the US Embassy to mark the day....

Capping off an unusual week in Donald Trump’s post-presidency, a New York judge on Friday ordered his company and its longtime chief financial officer to stand trial in the fall on tax fraud charges stemming from a long-running criminal investigation into Trump’s business practices. Manhattan District Judge Juan Manuel Merchan scheduled jury selection for Oct. 24 in the case, which involves allegations that the Trump Organization gave CFO Allen Weisselberg more than $1....
