When 16-year-old Jaida Lee of St. John's played in the male baseball competition at the Canada Summer Games in August, she knew she was making history. What she didn't expect was the ball she used for her first pitch would eventually make it into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame. "I didn't really think they were being serious," said Lee, standing beside the display case at the Hall of Fame in St. Mary's, Ont. "I definitely didn't expect it." Lee made baseball history at the Canada Summer Games
BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — Biden administration officials are toughening their language toward NATO ally Turkey as they try to talk Turkish President Recep Erdogan out of launching a bloody and destabilizing ground offensive against American-allied Kurdish forces in neighboring Syria. Since Nov. 20, after six people died in an Istanbul bombing a week before that Turkey blamed, without evidence, on the U.S. and its Kurdish allies in Syria, Turkey has launched cross-border airstrikes, rockets and s
Canada's Mathias Guillemette took silver in the men's elimination race in the fourth round of the UCI Track Champions League in London, England on Friday. The Trois-Rivières, Que., native outlasted 16 other competitors before ultimately falling to American Gavin Hoover.

HALIFAX — Nova Scotia’s Environment Department has renewed the industrial approval for the Donkin coal mine in Cape Breton for the next seven years. The department says it has set out “stringent terms and conditions” to the underground mine’s owners — Kameron Coal Management Ltd. — for the continued operation of the mine. Under the terms, the company must take steps to deal with industrial noise and must provide reports twice a year on the performance of a degasification system that must be oper
A 22-year-old man is in critical condition after being struck by an impaired driver in Montreal's Ville-Marie tunnel early Saturday morning, police say. Sûreté du Québec spokesperson Nicolas Scholtus says the collision occurred around 4:15 a.m., when the man apparently pulled over on the Ville-Marie Expressway and got out of his car to check on a mechanical issue.

EDMONTON — CWB Financial Group raised its dividend and reported its fourth-quarter profit fell compared with year ago as its provision for credit losses rose. The bank says it upped its quarterly dividend by a penny to 32 cents per share. The increased payment to shareholders came as CWB reported common shareholders' net income of $67.7 million or 72 cents per share for the quarter ended Oct. 31, down from $90.0 million or $1.01 per diluted share a year earlier. Revenue totalled $279.8 million,
The emergency departments at two New Brunswick hospitals will be operating at "very reduced capacity" through Monday, according to a news release from Vitalité Health Network. It said the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont University Hospital Centre in Moncton is facing "a high traffic rate," while the Stella-Maris-de-Kent Hospital in Sainte-Anne-de-Kent has a nursing shortage. The regional health authority said wait times will be longer than usual and patients most in need of care will be seen first. It adv
Two Pack Tuesdays episode 34 - Welcome Back and thank you for joining us. This week we are trying something a little different. Upper Deck's E-Store was having a black Friday sale on 2017 Upper Deck Grandeur precious metal coins. I watched another breaker (Shaun's collectables) crack into these and thought at $50 a pop it's hard to resist (So thank you Shaun's collectables). The price of 1 ounce of silver is at time of recording $21.50 USD. So really, the worst you can do is you're stuck with 1 ounce of Silver. Fortunate for us, we hit a very nice Hi Relief coin out of 1,000. Definitely well worth over the $50 and even $99 (regular price) that Upper Deck was asking for one of these. (I would not recommend these at $99 USD a piece.) There is an opportunity to actually hit an actual 1 ounce gold coin (which at today's price is great if you hit it) Apparently, if you do want the box that goes with these coins, you do have an ability to request for 1 (at $3.00) each when you have the cards/coins delivered to you. I asked for 1, so we'll see what they look like in a later video when the coin arrives. If you do want to get some of these but missed out on the sale, they do have these up for sale from time to time Let us know what you think.
Carl Luberisse didn't anticipate a short drive to the depanneur would lead to racial profiling, hundreds of dollars in fines and the loss of his job. While on a lunch break this September from his job as a forklift driver at Bveggie in Laval, the 41-year-old decided to get chips at the nearest convenience store. On his way back, Luberisse said, he was parking his car when police stopped him and demanded to see his identification. Luberisse declined, saying they didn't have a reason to stop him a

A few months after Danny Gaulton moved to Alberta, he disappeared. The 26-year-old from Labrador West just finished school, and moved to Grande Prairie, Alta. to find a new job as a correctional officer. That was in 1997 — he hasn't been seen or heard from since. "It really began a nightmare that has just continued to this day," said Gaulton's youngest sister, Valerie Champion, in an interview with Labrador Morning. "It's like there's a part of our lives that have stood still since that moment a

Mounties across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley will be at checkpoints on roadways Saturday evening as part of a month-long campaign aimed at impaired drivers. The B.C.
