Members of the Newfoundland Rogues travelled to Sheshatshiu this week to host a basketball clinic with the Sheshatshiu Eagles. (John Gaudi/CBC - image credit)John Gaudi/CBCAlthough the Newfoundland Rogues play basketball professionally, they say they can learn a thing or two from the Sheshatshiu Eagles. Players Mason Gabriel and Joseph Nuna, affectionately nicknamed Big Shaq and Baby Shaq by Rogues players referencing Shaquille O'Neal, say they'll take away tons of positives from playing with professionals. Williams echoed the sentiment, saying it may not be long before the Big Land has its first professional basketball player. "Why not be the first from Labrador to be a professional basketball player?

Here are tips to help understand your HOA’s inspection contract to ensure your HOA is not paying for unnecessary costs. If it’s not the HOA’s responsibility, it does not fall under the inspection requirement. An “exterior elevated element” is a component extending beyond the exterior building walls that has a walking surface over six feet above ground level. Many associations have balcony patios that are partially within the main structure of the building or walkways, which are part of the main building structure, or other areas that do not protrude from the main building. The more locations in the HOA, the less percentage of the locations need to be inspected to gain a statistically valid sampling.

Unique to Waterloo engineering, the adjustment factor helps admissions sort through its annual flood of applications. A calculation of historical student performance, it is used to figure out if the grades at one high school may be more reflective of success in Waterloo engineering than grades at another. Last year, almost the entire incoming class had a high school average of more than 90 per cent and nearly two-thirds boasted at least 95 per cent. “All applicants are assessed individually on their merits, and none are excluded by the adjustment factor,” King’s said in a statement. Preston High School and the Waterloo Region District School Board said they will be reaching out to the university after being made aware that Preston had a high adjustment factor (20).

The budget has been widely criticized as a spendthrift fiscal plan that could condemn Canada to years of debt-induced anemic economic growth. “Big spending, big deficits, big debt, high taxes, high inflation and bond market challenges are not the path to prosperity,” Scotiabank economist Derek Holt wrote on Budget Day. That was a slap at the Trudeau government’s prebudget signalling that this would be a “restraint” budget with only the leanest of new spending measures. Lost in the outrage were some salient facts suggesting that Ottawa’s latest fiscal plan, while hardly bereft of shortcomings, is a responsible document. The bottom line is that Budget 2023 is far closer to a genuine restraint budget than its fiscally conservative critics acknowledge.

Ben Ferencz, last living Nuremberg prosecutor of Nazis, diesBen Ferencz, the last living prosecutor from the Nuremberg trials, who tried Nazis for genocidal war crimes and was among the first outside witnesses to document the atrocities of Nazi labor and concentration camps, has died. Using his legal background, he became an investigator of Nazi war crimes against U.S. soldiers as part of a new War Crimes Section of the Judge Advocate’s Office. “The Buchenwald concentration camp was a charnel house of indescribable horrors,” Ferencz wrote. After the war, Ferencz was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army and returned to New York to begin practicing law. In later decades, Ferencz championed the creation of an international court which could prosecute any government’s leaders for war crimes.

As soon as Ike heard this, he telephoned his Secretary of State, Christian Herter, with suggestions as to how his administration could curb these feelings in Ottawa. The President said he has not had Diefenbaker down here and, while he is merely a Prime Minister, the President thought he could give him a little more of the red-carpet treatment since he is the Prime Minister of such a close neighbor.

Barring a miracle, Donald Trump will be the Republican contender in next year’s U.S. presidential race. Specifically, Trump is accused of using his money to buy up stories the financier-turned-politician might find embarrassing. Polling suggests that the Manhattan allegations have served to make Trump even more popular with his base. Even those who are challenging him for the Republican presidential nomination must support him in this or risk alienating rank and file Republicans. Unlike current U.S. president Joe Biden, Trump shows little interest in reviving the Cold War.

The last time Lucy Beardy saw her sister Linda alive, she "looked good," asked about her children, and said she loved them. I feel like they betrayed the trust of the family," she said in an interview Thursday evening with CBC News.

Two officers, along with a family support and resource advocate from the police service, came to her house an hour before the news conference was scheduled to start.

From the beginning, Hughes pictured spending his PhD program at York University studying American history — not embarking on a multi-year pizza quest across Toronto and Buffalo, New York. “I ultimately came to research the history of pizza in Toronto and Buffalo between 1950 and 1990,” the 31-year-old historian told the Star. “In 1950, Toronto and Buffalo were actually rather similar cities, they had similar percentage of Italian immigrants and also similar economic output,” Hughes said. After receiving his PhD in 2022, Hughes took a break from researching pizza to study the cultural and environmental history of Etobicoke. “Even though I go and eat at these pizza restaurants, it’s not necessarily what they made in the 50s, 60s, 70s.
