Stars defenseman Jani Hakanpää to undergo offseason knee surgery
Nill said defenseman Jani Hakanpää will have offseason knee surgery. Hakanpää missed four postseason games with an injury in the series against the Seattle Kraken and Golden Knights. Evgenii Dadonov, who left Game 3 of the Golden Knights series after colliding with Roope Hintz, suffered a Grade 2 MCL strain. Numerous other Stars players battled back and rib injuries throughout the postseason and were game-time decisions each night, according to Nill. Besides Hakanpää, no other players will undergo surgery this offseason.

How ‘The Flash,’ many years in the works and beset by turmoil, finally reached the finish line
There were many stressful things about making “The Flash” and getting it to theaters. AdvertisementDirector Andy Muschietti and his sister, producer Barbara Muschietti, waited nervously for its arrival worried whether it would make it in time or just be stuck in the middle of the ocean. “Back to the Future,” which is referenced quite a bit in “The Flash,” was one of their favorite movies, too. “I didn’t want him to be sitting near the fireplace, like staring out of a glass of whiskey,” Andy Muschietti said. But right now, the focus is “The Flash.”“Let’s just wait and see,” Andy Muschietti said.

Should people have access to their partner’s violent history? Ontario is one step closer to making it happen
A motion that paves the way for an Ontario law allowing people access to information about a partner’s past charges or criminal convictions has been unanimously approved by all parties. In 2014, the British government implemented Clare’s Law, years after a young woman was killed by her partner who had a long history of abuse of which she was not aware. Several provinces now have their own versions, including Saskatchewan — the first in Canada — and Alberta. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a rise in intimate partner violence, and an inquest into the deaths of three women in Eastern Ontario — all former partners of the same man — urged the provincial government to implement a Clare’s Law. Such information is shared confidentially, not in writing, and cannot be publicly divulged.

‘There’s some merit to the criticism that CBC has a left-leaning bias’: Expert panel sees a murky future for the CBC
Canada needs some kind of public broadcaster, but the CBC isn’t currently doing a good job filling that role, a panel of experts agreed on Wednesday. With competition from streaming services, a quickly-changing broadcast and news landscape, and diminished trust in the public broadcaster, the future of the CBC is as murky as ever. The Conservative leader hasn’t backed down from the promise since winning the leadership, but he has narrowed down his targets to the English-language side of the public broadcaster. Radio-Canada’s French services, Poilievre has hinted, would remain largely untouched. Some experts think it would be extremely complicated to slash one side of the public broadcaster and not the other, though.

(Evan Mitsui/CBC - image credit)Mayoral candidate Mitzie Hunter was on CBC Radio's Metro Morning Thursday to outline her vision to voters, saying she wants a city that "works for everyone, everywhere." Hunter told host Jill Dempsey she would spend on infrastructure and services like affordable housing and public transit. "If we don't invest in critical public infrastructure in this city, I fear what Toronto will become," Hunter said. She has proposed a six per cent property tax raise for homeowners with a combined income of more than $80,000, and three per cent for households earning less than that threshold.

Cyber gang behind N.S. breach says it erased stolen data, but experts urge caution
The group posted a note to its website saying it deleted all the data it stole from governments, cities, and police services. Cybersecurity experts warn that the Nova Scotia government should remain on guard, despite Clop’s apparent act of goodwill toward public institutions. Officials said the hack was discovered last week and that the data stolen included social insurance numbers, addresses and banking information. As for Clop’s claim that it erased Nova Scotia’s data, Abrams said some groups have made similar claims and then sold the information, or used it for future extortion. “It is safer to assume that any stolen data is at risk for abuse by the cybercrime operation or other threat actors,” Abrams said in an email.

Paul Bernardo: What did he do? What is La Macaza Institution?
What is La Macaza Institution, the facility he was quietly moved to? Here’s what we know about Paul Bernardo, what the difference is between a medium- and a maximum-security prison, and how federal corrections determines which level offenders should be placed in. La Macaza Institution is built on an open-campus model in Quebec, according to CSC. La Macaza Institution specializes in providing treatment to sex offenders and almost two-thirds of the inmates held there have been convicted of a sexual offence. The offender’s security level is based on how they’ll adjust to the institution, the risk of escape and public safety.

‘The new reality’? Canadian wildfires become the global face of unfolding ecological disaster
The orange haze that this country’s wildfires have cast upon New York’s Empire State Building and other world-famous landmarks. The haunting images of Canada’s flaming tinder leaving its mark on America have effectively captured the vast power of nature’s wrath, and have become the global face of an unfolding ecological and humanitarian disaster in this country. And residents of the West Coast and the Pacific Northwest, where wildfire smoke is a regular part of life, urged their eastern counterparts to get a grip. In Quebec, fires threatened more than half a dozen towns and Indigenous communities, resulting in the evacuation of more than 11,000 people.
