Singh "has been placed in a special handling unit and has had limited access to counsel and the outside world since then," his lawyer Christopher Lutes said at a brief hearing on Wednesday.

Two people have died in Canada after donating plasma at a chain of clinics that has been under scrutiny by federal inspectors for failing to keep accurate records, screen donors or maintain its machines.

In late January, Toronto was hit with what many experts said was the heaviest single day of snowfall in the city's history. In some spots, nearly 23in fell, driven in part by a collision of weather systems. The city had already removed 264,000 tonnes of snow from 1,100 km (680 miles) of roads, sidewalks and bike lanes by mid-February.
Three USB sticks were used, all with the correct code, but none of them worked. By the close of polling on Sunday, its e-voting system had collected 2,048 votes, but Basel-Stadt officials were not able to decrypt them with the hardware provided, despite the involvement of IT experts.

Even modest equipment purchases can reach $600 to $1,500 in the first year alone.

Life in Newfoundland is tied to the sea. For nearly 500 years, people here pulled a seemingly endless supply of Atlantic cod from the waters of the Grand Banks, then one of the world's richest fishing grounds. But by the early 1990s, industrial bottom trawlers had decimated cod stocks, and in 1992, the Canadian government instituted a moratorium on cod fishing, devastating the industry and ending a long-standing way of life.
Canada enters the matchup needing a strong performance after splitting its first two games.

Back for 2026, the program is providing $100,000 in grant funding for founders who are ready to pitch, learn, and grow.

This is an opportunity for the membership to decide not only who the next leader is going to be, but what the future of the party is going to look like. That gives me hope that despite the election result, the NDP is here to stay.
Ontario's premier has repeatedly pushed back in recent weeks against criticism that his government is not providing the province's hospital system with enough funding to address problems like hallway health care.

It works, it's fast, it's reliable. People who rely on the line are saying how much of a great addition it is to their daily commute. Rolling out Line 5 in phases was the right decision. Tempering expectations is really important. I think that [the TTC] could have saved themselves a lot of harm and damage if they were more clear about that with Line 6.

Sales are down nearly 70 percent at Jahn Engineering, a tool and die shop that serves automakers here and in the United States. Dozens of workers have been let go following decisions made in the White House.
