Terrorism charges notable, expert saysJessica Davis, president of Insight Threat Intelligence, told CBC News Network's Power & Politics that the terrorism charges in this case differ from most such charges laid in Canada. Davis said most terrorism charges are aimed at potential attacks, plots or travel to engage in terrorist activity. He said that while he welcomes Macdonald's arrest, the difficulty of bringing forward terrorism charges puts law enforcement in a tough situation.

FRISCO – Development camp for an NHL team can be home for a variety of different players. AdvertisementRich Peverley, the Dallas Stars’ director of player personnel, hopes there’s a common takeaway from all players at the team’s development camp, which wrapped up on Monday.

Fifty-two per cent of racialized workers are in occupations in the bottom half of the wage distribution compared with 48 per cent of white workers and 60 per cent of Black workers. And though wages increased during the pandemic, racialized and Black men still earn less than their white counterparts, and Black and racialized women face even greater hurdles.

Racialized women earned 71 cents and Black women earned 68 cents for every dollar white men earned.

A look at the flag that inspired "The Star-Spangled Banner" CBS News' Christina Ruffini explores the historical significance of the Star-Spangled Banner, the American flag that inspired Francis Scott Key to write the national anthem.

Trilling’s insight goes some way toward explaining the success of another American literary giant, Cormac McCarthy, who died last month. But, when I read what many consider to be McCarthy’s finest novel, “Blood Meridian” (1985), I wondered, as Trilling once did about Dreiser, what exactly this author was appealing to in his audience. Let me begin by stating the obvious: “Blood Meridian” is a shocking book, as blood-soaked as its title promises and then some. But the human heart contains many other regions, about which “Blood Meridian” is worryingly silent. The very act of writing “Blood Meridian” attests to the fact that curiosity and concern are also features of the human heart.

BERLIN (AP) — Switzerland plans to take part in a Europe-wide air defense project initiated in response to Russia’s attack on Ukraine, officials said Tuesday. The Alpine country is the second neutral nation after Austria to signal its intention to join the European Sky Shield Initiative launched by Germany last year. The European Sky Shield Initiative, or ESSI, was proposed by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in August of last year as a means of bundling the continent’s efforts to defend against possible aircraft or missile attacks. It will complement existing air defense systems established by the NATO alliance, which Austria and Switzerland aren’t members of. France has criticized the project because key elements — the Israeli Arrow 3 system and the U.S. Patriot system — originate outside Europe.

“She would not have worried about it touching the floor or violating any codes,” says Lisa Moulder, director of the Ross House. ‘AN AFTERTHOUGHT’“The flag was really an afterthought,” says Scot Guenter, author of “The American Flag, 1777-1924” and a professor emeritus of American Studies at San Jose State University. Americans were in the mood for a good story, and William J. Canby, grandson of Betsy Ross, had one.

In the 1950s, that gets appropriated by the anti-communists.”Burning American flags dates back at least to the Civil War.

Meta Platforms plans to launch a Twitter-rivalling microblogging app called Threads, days after Twitter boss Elon Musk attracted criticism by announcing a temporary cap on how many posts users can read on the social media site. Threads is expected to be released on Thursday and will allow users to retain followers from photo-sharing platform Instagram, and keep the same username, a listing on Apple's App Store showed. The rollout represents a direct challenge to Twitter, which has faced numerous controversies since Musk bought the company for $44 billion US in 2022. Twitter ad revenue drops, defections riseWhile alternative microblogging sites — such as Mastodon and Blue Sky — have reported an uptick in user numbers since Musk's acquisition, neither has been able to challenge Twitter. Meta did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on a similar launch on the Google Play Store.
