Five players from Canada's 2018 world junior team have taken a leave of absence from their current clubs in recent days amid a report that five members of that team have been asked to surrender to police to face sexual assault charges. The NHL Players' Association declined to comment. In the meantime, members of the organization, including Flyers players, will not be commenting any further. Hockey Canada has made wholesale changes after a scathing independent report and lost major sponsors in the nearly two years since this and other scandals emerged. Nike last year permanently ended its partnership with the organization after earlier pausing it, along with other sponsors, given the heavy criticism of Hockey Canada leadership.

A Porter Airlines captain denied a passenger from boarding due to his wheelchair's batteries, per CBC. AdvertisementAn airline captain mistakenly stopped a passenger from boarding due to his wheelchair's batteries, CBC News reported. Porter told CBC that the pilot made an error, wrongly believing the power chair's batteries needed to be removed under Transport Canada regulations. And then he said I am a dangerous threat, then he walked away and left us high and dry," Harrower told the outlet. The International Air Transport Association says that wheelchairs powered by gel batteries are "considered to be non-dangerous."

CNN —The Victorian dress in the Maine antique mall was unlike anything Sara Rivers Cofield had seen before. Rivers Cofield had no idea that the dress she bought in December 2013 would unravel a mystery a decade later. Rivers Cofield was baffled, she told CNN. He also emailed Rivers Cofield, who did not know that online sleuths were still working to decipher the codes. But for now, Chan and Rivers Cofield are just glad they’ve unraveled the biggest piece of the dress’s mystery.

An archeologist found a silk dress from the 1800s with a hidden pocket concealing a secret code. "It was a beautiful sort of rust, metallic, bronze silk dress," she told Business Insider, one she'd seen at the shop for years. "For the first time in history, information about the weather could travel faster than the weather itself," Chan wrote. While it's tempting to think Bennet was the owner of the paper, it's not necessarily the case, Rivers Cofield said. AdvertisementWhether the dress's owner sent it out to the laundry or donated it are both possibilities, Rivers Cofield said.

A Steve will always appear alongside an aurora, Lach and Zeller said, but not all auroras include a Steve. The Steve phenomenon is most likely to be captured around the equinoxes in the spring and fall, according to Zeller and Lach.

Alberta Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act was approved by the legislature in December 2022 after the initial bill was diluted to its current form. The act affirmed that the Alberta legislature, not Smith's cabinet, would have the last word on lawmaking.

REUTERS/Candace Elliott/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsNov 24 (Reuters) - The Canada Energy Regulator (CER) has ordered the company building the Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion (TMX) to appear at an oral hearing on Monday, as the regulator weighs whether to approve a variance request from the project. Trans Mountain had asked the regulator to make a decision on the variance request by Nov. 30 to "advance the timely completion" of the expansion project. In September, the CER approved a route deviation request from TMX for a section of pipeline near Kamloops, despite opposition from local Indigenous groups. The CER said no other parties had expressed concern about TMX's latest variance request.

In the win over Nashville, Calgary's Jonathan Huberdeau was benched in the third period and looked on as the Flames scored three goals.

REUTERS/Chris Wattie/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsNov 8 (Reuters) - Canada's Suncor Energy (SU.TO) beat market estimates for third-quarter profit on Wednesday, helped by strong refining margins and higher sales volumes from its oil sands operations. Refinery throughput declined marginally to 463,200 barrels per day (bpd) compared with a year earlier. Its net production of synthetic crude, a processed form of raw and heavy bitumen, rose to 469,300 bpd, compared with 405,100 bpd a year ago, due to lower maintenance activities. The company reported a net profit of C$1.54 billion, compared with a year-ago loss of C$609 million when it was hit by impairment charges.

[1/5] Aerial view shows Lake Kivu and the skyline of the city of Goma, North Kivu province, Democratic Republic of the Congo October, 21, 2023. First to be auctioned were three methane blocks in Lake Kivu, sometimes dubbed a "killer lake" because of a risk of deadly eruption. The documents do not show why Alfajiri was included in the auction, who requested that the report be edited, or why. Lake Kivu is one of three lakes in Africa scientists say are at risk of limnic eruption. The report's second version - also dated Dec. 8 and seen by Reuters - raised Alfajiri's score to 55.75, putting it ahead of Winds.
