Just three of the thousands of reasons Surrey does not need a 60,000 seat stadium from Jinny Sims, Surrey Forward Mayoral candidate. "First, cost of living: Surrey taxpayers cannot pay for Doug McCallum’s folly," says Sims. "Already we are paying over $1,000 per resident for the ill-advised move to the Surrey Police Service, we simply cannot afford to pay thousands more for new stadium." "Second, who is supposed to play there? The BC Lions? The Whitecaps? This is not a case study for Field of Dreams; Doug McCallum is no Kevin Costner in Iowa. Even if we had an anchor tenant lined up, and Mc

The Goa Police on Thursday registered a murder case against two persons for their alleged involvement in the death of BJP leader Sonali Phogat.

Police in Calgary have arrested two men suspected of running a firearms production and trafficking operation. Calgary officers have seized more than 12-hundred firearms _ including more than 300 believed to have been used in a crime _ so far this year. Nine per cent of those guns were homemade or 3-D printed, which police say is a significant increase over last year. Acting Staff Sgt.

The death toll from a Russian rocket attack on a train station and the surrounding area as Ukraine celebrated its Independence Day climbed to 25, including at least two children, Ukrainian authorities said Thursday. Russia said it targeted a military train and claimed to have killed more than 200 Ukrainian reservists. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had warned that Russia might “try to do something particularly nasty, something particularly cruel” this week. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an increase in his country's armed forces of 137,000, or more than 13%. That would

The Supreme Court on Thursday said that the five-member committee appointed by it has said that Ferozepur SSP failed to discharge his duty though the sufficient forces were available during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Punjab visit on January 5. "The Ferozepur SSP failed to discharge his duty to maintain law and order. He failed to do this even though sufficient force was available and even though he was informed two hours in advance that Prime Minister will enter that route," it said. The apex court said it will send the report of the five-member committee to the Centre for appropriate acti

Federal Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos has announced funding for organizations providing sexual education and resources for young people, those with disabilities and Indigenous communities. Duclos earmarked 2.8-million-dollars for the Sex Information and Education Council of Canada based in Montreal and the Centre for Sexuality in Calgary. He says many young people and those in certain communities suffer shame, stigma, the feeling of not being important and not having access to services to people they can trust. Pat Krause, the head of the Centre for Sexuality, says the organization will be

The Alberta government says it will provide a total of $5.2 million to support programs that prevent crime and keep people safe. Justice Minister Tyler Shandro says grants will be doled out to eligible groups over the next two years. He says the money can be used for the delivery of community safety plans, youth gang prevention and exit programs, as well as plans that address emerging issues and trends. Shandro made the announcement in Calgary, where police have already responded to 97 shootings in 2022. Calgary police Chief Mark Neufeld says the number of shootings so far this year is unprece

The City of Calgary says it is reopening some of its service counters at its Municipal Building after a break-in and fire earlier this month. Services on the third floor of the building were affected by water damage because the sprinkler system was triggered. The low-income transit pass, tax advisory and cashier services are back in the downtown building. Officials say the planning and development service counter, which had extensive damage, will remain in its temporary location at the Whitehorn Multi-Services Centre until further notice.
