(John Stapleton/Town of Marystown - image credit)John Stapleton/Town of MarystownThe Canning Bridge in Marystown used to connect residents on the town's south side to the town's north side, where all of its grocery stores, restaurants and shops are located. It's taking a toll on residents, including women and children living in shelter care at the Grace Sparkes House, which sits on the town's south side, away from many critical services. There's another bridge that connects the town's south and north sides, but it's much farther down the highway and farther away from the town's center and business district. Slaney says the shelter has always depended on taxis to transport women and children from both sides of the town.

The Toronto Blue Jays opened up their Grapefruit League schedule with a 9-7 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday afternoon, giving starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi an opportunity to prove himself as a starter once again. Kikuchi, who had a tough year as a starter last season before switching to the bullpen, had five strikeouts in two scoreless innings, allowing just one hit while throwing 20 of his 33 pitches for strikes. Promising prospects Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Santiago Espinal, and Addison Barger all hit home runs while Rodolfo Castro had one for the Pirates. In the end, Toronto outhit Pittsburgh 13-7. It was a great start to the season and a chance to give Blue Jays fans something to be optimistic about.

While boarding a cruise ship these days is now done via an appointment system, backups will occur, especially in San Diego when two vessels are docked the same day. San Diego’s B Street Terminal, developed in the 1980s, is the principal location for passengers boarding ships and is scheduled to undergo some upgrades. Because space is limited, long lines can form on occasion during the check-in process. We’d especially like to hear from those passengers who boarded on a day when two ships were docked at the B Street Pier. AdvertisementWe are seeking your input as part of a story we are doing on plans to upgrade the B Street Terminal.

The sold-out show was such a hit that the theatre invited him back this year for another performance. On May 26, Lawrence returns to Kay Meek, accompanied by Vancouver-based band Said the Whale, Ashleigh Ball of Hey Ocean! Readers of this newspaper may recognize the name Allan McMordie, search manager with North Shore resuce. “He’s an amazing bagpiper, and he’s my neighbour in Desolation Sound as well,” Lawrence said. “So everything’s connected and interwoven to the North Shore and North Shore life and the people that make it colourful.”This year, the CBC broadcaster and author will be digging deeper into his archive of West Van stories, which include a Dundarave fishing derby gone wrong.

An important milestone for Canadian women was reached on this date in 1930. It came when Senator Cairine Wilson delivered her inaugural remarks in the Red Chamber. These were the first words a female Senator ever made in the Senate. No one disputes his right to participate in public affairs. Yet we constantly hear mothers complain of the husband’s indifference about the supervision and guidance of his sons.”You can read Senator Wilson’s entire address at the link below.

Stone chimney is all that remains of a world class grindstone quarryOn the rocky shore of a quiet Rockport beach, a large stone chimney appears to be about to plunge into the Bay of Fundy. “But at some point, the quarry that we’re actually in now begins its story, as far as we know, around 1814. Back then, grindstones were a big deal.”This photo from Rockport shows a partially finished grindstone and evidence of quarrying. Sandstone also used for constructionStone from the quarries in the area was also known as a very good building stone. (Provincial Archives of New Brunswick)Today, all that remains of an industry that shipped thousands of tons of grindstone and employed thousands of workers is the stone chimney in Rockport, on a “small precarious outcrop that erodes daily,” Upham said.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau joined thousands from the Ukrainian community, and their supporters, in downtown Toronto on Friday night. Trudeau, Premier Doug Ford and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre each spoke to the cheering crowd at Nathan Phillips Square where the Solidarity March for Ukraine gathered after beginning at Yonge-Dundas Square. The global march, to mark the one-year anniversary of Ukraine’s resistance to Russia’s invasion, was held in an estimated 300 cities in 38 countries around the world. Earlier Friday, Trudeau announced more weapons for Ukraine on Friday as people rallied across Canada to mark 365 days of death and violence since Russia’s invasion began. Canada will donate four additional battle tanks to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine, growing Canada’s contribution to eight tanks in total, Trudeau said.

On Friday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau unveiled more Canadian commitments to Ukraine in the form of four battle tanks and additional ammunition, accompanied by sanctions for more Russian businesses and individuals. This comes as the country marks its sixth year embroiled in a war, as a result of Russian President Vladimir Putin‘s “cowardly acts”. Along with the tanks and ammunition, Canada has also provided over $5 billion in aid and military equipment such as air defence systems, rocket launchers and defensive equipment. The Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC) urged Canada to take a leadership role and provide more aid, including fighter jets and a full trade embargo if Russia is declared a terrorist state. Several rallies were held across the country Friday to call for Putin to end the war in Ukraine.

Provincial appointees and a lobbyist joined prominent developers as guests at the wedding of Premier Doug Ford’s daughter, according to a seating chart of the celebration. An MPP asking the integrity commissioner for an opinion is different from an official investigation, which can only be started by a complaint by another MPP. Fidani-Diker previously worked as a political staffer for Premier Ford and his late brother Rob. Ford says wedding was a private event with friendsEarlier this month, the Star reported on how three developers who stand to benefit from recent provincial decisions attended Ford’s daughter’s wedding. As Global News first reported, Ford sought advice from the integrity commissioner months after his daughter’s wedding events, including the wedding and stag-and-doe, after being asked about developers who attended the festivities.

Trudeau expressed his frustration, saying he believes its wrong for Google to prevent Canadians from accessing news, rather than paying journalists for their work. Laurentian University professor April Lindgren said the blocking of news content was “unprecedented” and suggested it was started in response to Bill C-18 passing its second reading in the Senate. The proposed law would require Google and Facebook‘s parent company, Meta, to pay Canadian news publishers and broadcasters for the news articles shown on their platforms. Money gained from this could cover a third of news content creation costs in Canada. Altogether, Trudeau’s disapproval proves that it is of utmost importance in Canada to ensure that journalists are respected and appropriately compensated for their work.
