RCMP update probe of vandalism against B.C. gondola

RCMP have released more details about a suspect linked to the deliberate cutting of the huge cable supporting the Sea-to-Sky gondola in Squamish. The attacks, in 2019 and 2020, sent all the cars on the nearly five-kilometre long cable crashing to the ground. Sergeant Chris Manseau says police haven't identified the suspect but have shared a photo and want to charge the person with mischief endangering life, because the falling cable in 2020 narrowly missed a security guard who was underneath the gondola line when the cable was cut.

Canada’s Economy Stagnates for Second Consecutive Month, GDP Decline Expected in September

Canada’s economy remained stagnant for the second consecutive month, with no growth recorded in August, according to the latest data from Statistics Canada.
