The River Run townhouse complex in Eau Claire stands in the way of the Green Line LRT project. (Bryan Labby/CBC - image credit)The River Run townhouse complex in Eau Claire is not even 30 years old, but it will soon be demolished to make way for a new underground LRT station as part of the multibillion-dollar Green Line project. The city officially filed its intention to expropriate 23 units in the four building complex that is adjacent to the fading Eau Claire Market and the Bow River. The city says the Eau Claire station will be "designed in a way to allow private development to occur above the station in the future." Tynan says negotiations with property owners started about three years ago.

SUNRISE, FLA.—Of course the Maple Leafs can win a game. Of course the Leafs can win a game. But for these Leafs, one game might be all they have left. So Game 4 is a last chance to show something more after Game 3, unless they earn another one, and maybe to dream of the impossible comeback. The Leafs need to win one game, they say.

David Salvo says the Alliance for Securing Democracy has been mapping and cataloguing Russian and Chinese interference since 2000. Salvo was speaking to the procedure and House affairs committee, which is studying foreign interference in response to allegations that China tried to meddle in the last two federal elections. Chiu told the committee he did not experience foreign interference in either the 2015 or the 2019 elections but the most recent vote was different. Salvo says his group aims to show that the tools used by Beijing are not partisan or politically motivated, for the most part. Asked whether he thinks the government ought to call a public inquiry into foreign interference, Chiu said yes.

CBC resumes activity on some of its Twitter accounts after hitting pause over labels May 9, 2023 | 6:29 PMThe CBC and Radio-Canada are returning to Twitter after pausing activity last month over their designation as “government-funded media” by the social media platform. CBC News editor-in-chief Brodie Fenlon says in a blog post that it is resuming activity on a handful of umbrella accounts but will “significantly reduce” its overall Twitter footprint. In April, Twitter CEO Elon Musk applied tags to accounts belonging to the CBC and other outlets, including the BBC and National Public Radio, labelling them as “government-funded media.”The tags had their wording changed multiple times without warning or explanation, before ultimately disappearing.

SEATTLE — The Stars skated with Joe Pavelski, Roope Hintz and Jason Robertson together again on the top line Tuesday morning. It’s a line that has been together for more than two years and ranked right at the top of the NHL in goal production. Pavelski suffered a concussion in Game 1 against Minnesota and was replaced by Tyler Seguin on that line for the rest of the series. When Pavelski returned for Game 1 against Seattle, he scored four goals while playing alongside Max Domi and Mason Marchment. He said the line change should help him, “but you’ve got to help yourself too.

Canada's public broadcaster CBC and its French-language arm Radio-Canada are returning to Twitter after the social media platform removed the "government-funded media" labelCanada's public broadcaster CBC and its French-language arm Radio-Canada said Tuesday that they were returning to Twitter after the social media site removed a "government-funded media" label. The outlets had paused posting on Twitter on April 17 because of the tag which they said unfairly questioned their editorial independence. Luce Julien, executive director of Radio-Canada, said it and the CBC would now resume posting on certain Twitter accounts because it is essential to provide credible information to the public. "We owe it to ourselves as a public media company to be active there and to continue to disseminate verified information." Julien also said Radio-Canada will not pay to receive a blue verification tick from Twitter, saying the checkmarks are no longer a guarantee of credibility.

Chinese diplomat Zhao Wei was handed his walking papers Monday. The action came after drawn-out deliberations as politicians and bureaucrats weighed what to do in the face of inevitable retaliation by Beijing. Diplomats in Canada have been warned that if they engage in this type of behaviour, they will be sent home,” Joly said in a statement. However, the government’s action would been more forceful and sincere had it occurred when the activities of the Toronto-based Chinese diplomat first became known. That was in 2021, when a report by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service identified a campaign by Chinese operatives.

SECAUCUS, N.J. — The Chicago Blackhawks won the NHL draft lottery Monday night and with it the right to select Connor Bedard with the first pick, parlaying one of their worst seasons in decades into a potentially franchise-altering player. Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly unveiled a placard featuring the Blackhawks logo at 8:22 p.m. EDT, signifying they had gotten the No. Chicago had the third-highest odds of winning the lottery at 11.5%, behind Anaheim’s 25.5% and Columbus’ 13.5%. “Everyone wants to win the lottery, then everything is your control, and obviously everybody’s talked about a special player at the top of the rankings. The strategy worked: Chicago lost 56 of 82 games to set up a chance at Bedard.

Jonathan Castell/CBCWhat's happening at YYZ (Toronto)Pearson, Canada's largest airport, last summer saw overflowing baggage halls, stranded passengers, flight delays and cancellations.
