Jamaican who stabbed Albertan 50 times and hid his body gets 11-year sentence for manslaughter
“Later that morning, Mr. Calder received a message from Ms. Blanchette’s phone asking Mr. Calder to give Ms. Blanchette a ride home,” said the decision. At some point after they left the motel, Mr. Allen stabbed Mr. Calder while Mr. Calder was in the driver’s seat, causing Mr. Calder’s death. Mr. Calder suffered approximately 50 stab wounds to his head, neck, chest, side, leg and hands,” said the decision. By all accounts, Mr. Allen’s relationship with Ms. Blanchette was unstable and involved frequent arguments and physical violence. “The defence points to the senselessness of Mr. Calder’s death, arguing that Mr. Allen clearly suffered from drug-induced psychosis at the time,” and that should reduce his moral culpability.

Most schools and universities were closed and dozens of flights in and out of Halifax’s airport were cancelled Monday as a large winter storm swept across Nova Scotia. Public schools across mainland Nova Scotia were closed, as were many post-secondary campuses, including at the province's largest university, Dalhousie. All Nova Scotia Community College campuses were closed, with the Sydney site scheduled to shut at 4 p.m. local time. Public Works Minister Fred Tilley said in an interview Monday morning with the CBC’s Information Morning Nova Scotia that the province had about 400 pieces of snow-clearing equipment mobilized.

Nobody Wants the Eagles’ Offensive Coordinator Job
So explain this to me: why does nobody want their offensive coordinator job? The OC Is a Scapegoat, Not a LeaderLet’s be honest, the Eagles’ OC doesn’t actually run the offense. Limitation Destroys the Coordinator’s UpsideThis is why the Eagles OC role has become toxic. The Locker Room Doesn’t Save YouOn top of all that, the Eagles’ offense is player-driven. From where I’m sitting, the Eagles OC job isn’t undesirable because of pressure.

Northern premiers outline priorities ahead of meeting with Prime Minister
By TJ DhirAll three Premiers stress the need for infrastructure upgradesWith Canada’s premiers set to meet with the Prime Minister Mark Carney in Ottawa this week, the three territorial premiers are laying out their priorities for the meeting. In the days leading up to the premiers’ meeting with Carney, U.S. President Donald Trump’s overt desire to take control of the Danish territory of Greenland grabbed international attention. The three territorial premiers stressed the role that their jurisdictions, and people, play in that conversation. “When you look at a map and you see infrastructure there, you see highways and communities, that’s sovereignty,” he said. “That competition will be fierce but friendly.”Improved infrastructure needed ‘everywhere you look in every community’Two territorial premiers will be using the opportunity to advocate for investment in improved infrastructure in their jurisdictions.

Israel recovers remains of final hostage in Gaza, opening way for next phase
The Palestinian committee of technocrats backed by the U.S. to administer Gaza has said the border crossing would open this week. Gvili's remains had been held in Gaza since he was killed during the Hamas-led attack on Oct. 7, 2023, on southern Israeli communities, which triggered the two-year Israeli offensive. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking to reporters at the Knesset, described the discovery of Gvili's remains as an "unbelievable achievement for the State of Israel." Israel's offensive has since killed more than 71,400 Palestinians, with more than 480 Palestinians killed by Israeli fire since Oct. 10, 2025, according to Palestinian figures. In a statement, Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem said the discovery of Gvili's remains confirms Hamas's commitment to the plan.
