US President Joe Biden said that Washington will not supply Kyiv with missile systems capable of striking Russian territory, a UK-based media reported on Monday, citing sources.

Last week, CNN reported, citing multiple US officials, that Washington may include advanced long-range systems in a new US military assistance package for Ukraine. Kyiv has been asking the United States to supply MLRS M270 and M142 HIMARS, the report said.

However, Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said on Thursday that the US had not made the final decision on the supply of its MLRS to Ukraine.

The Biden administration has already provided Ukraine with 1,400 Stinger anti-aircraft systems along with 5,500 Javelins since Russia's special military operation began in February. However, this aid falls short of what Ukraine has claimed it needs.

In March, Kyiv requested 500 Javelins and 500 Stingers per day, although US officials told CNN the Pentagon believes Ukraine is inflating its requirements.

Prime Minister Carney celebrates Blue Jays’ World Series return after dramatic Game 7 win

Prime Minister Mark Carney says he is “super pumped” after the Toronto Blue Jays clinched their first American League pennant in more than three decades with a comeback victory over the Seattle Mariners. Speaking to reporters in Ottawa on Tuesday, Carney praised outfielder George Springer’s three-run home run that lifted the Jays to a 4–3 win in Game 7. The shot, which came despite Springer being hit on the knee earlier in the series, secured Toronto’s first trip to the World Series since 1993. Carney said the victory evoked memories of Joe Carter’s iconic walk-off home run that s

Vote counting resumes in municipal elections across Alberta

Vote counting in Alberta's municipal and school board elections has resumed.

In Calgary, unofficial results have former councillor Jeremy Farkas unseating incumbent mayor Jyoti Gondek, who has conceded. Jasper Mayor Richard Ire
