LONDON (AP) — Tottenham recovered quickly from going a goal down and routed Southampton 4-1 in their English Premier League opener Saturday to show the team's new strength in depth. Attacking duo Harry Kane and Son Heung-min failed to get on the scoresheet, but it was fellow forward Dejan Kulusevski who orchestrated the comeback. The Sweden international set up the equalizer for Ryan Sessegnon before he slotted the fourth goal himself after the break, following an Eric Dier header and Mohammed S
A tombstone lost for half a century has been uncovered, thanks to the sleuthing of an explorer in the Annapolis Valley, N.S. Mary Crane and Henry Charlton farmed a plot of land near the Annapolis River off today's Mount Hanley Road. When they died in 1815 and 1816, they were buried at the edge of their field. "This would have been at the back of the family property and they might have assumed there would have been further burials, because that was also common to have a burial ground where you wo

An Edmonton business is aiming to change the fashion world one photo shoot at a time, as the only talent agency in the country to exclusively represent people who are disabled or neurodiverse. "There is just nothing we could find in Canada for agencies that specialize in representing disabled, neurodiverse talent," Katie MacMillan, founder and owner of Kello Inclusive, told CBC Edmonton's Radio Active. "It didn't take us very long to think that the world needed one of these." MacMillan created t
Florenceville-Bristol always expects and welcomes plenty of out-of-town visitors to its picturesque downtown, especially at the peak of tourist season. But, the visitor strolling Main Street Monday evening was a bit shocking at any time. Dianna Wasson said she and a friend were heading out just before dusk to water the town’s community garden when they spotted a yearling moose trotting along Maple Street on its way to Main Street. In an email accompanying some photos, Wasson said the youthful vi
Following the death of his mother, Vancouver filmmaker Manny Mahal realized he knew precious little about his father, particularly his life in India before he moved to Canada. He decided the best way to learn about his dad was by doing what he knew best — making a film. For My Father, which is available on CBC Gem as part of the Absolutely Canadian series, is the result of Mahal's journey to bridge the cultural gap between himself and his father. Growing up, Mahal said he was very close to his m

A new collection of stories, poems and interviews called Ndè Sı̀ı̀ Wet'aɂà is putting the spotlight on emerging and established Northern Indigenous storytelling about land, life and art. The collection was first intended to expand on the course material for the Dechinta Centre for Research and Learning, but is now being published to a wider audience, said Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, a faculty member with the Dechinta and an author herself.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The administration of President Joe Biden on Saturday condemned Indiana's new ban on abortions, calling it another extreme attempt by Republicans to trample women's rights. Indiana on Friday became the first state in the nation to approve such legislation since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a 1973 landmark case that had protected the right to abortion nationwide. “The Indiana Legislature took a devastating step as a result of the Supreme Court’s extreme decision to overtu
A sculptor has been working in the intense summer heat to restore a statue in Summerside, P.E.I., that's withstood the elements for 100 years. The monument honouring 220 soldiers from Prince County who died in the First World War has been in the Veteran's Memorial Park just behind Summerside city hall since 1922.

LONDON (AP) — New Liverpool signing Darwin Nunez came off the bench to score one goal and set up another Saturday as the Reds salvaged a 2-2 draw at promoted Fulham in the opening round of the Premier League. Aleksandar Mitrovic put Fulham ahead twice at Craven Cottage as Marco Silva's team threatened a major upset, but Nunez showed just why Liverpool spent big to bring the Uruguay forward in from Benfica this offseason. Nunez first met a low cross from Mohamed Salah with a deft backheel flick i
The names of soldiers who died serving their country are carved in stone on a cenotaph in Ottawa's Vanier neighbourhood, but recently a new name was added. This one was scrawled in marker over the marble. RIP Alexis, it read. The words appear at the base of a cross near the top of the marker, and are repeated on both sides of it. It's also scattered elsewhere across the memorial. Members of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 462 care for the Eastview City Cenotaph and said they're upset by the van
HAPPY CAMP, Calif. — A wildfire burning in a remote area just south of the Oregon border appears to have caused the deaths of tens of thousands of Klamath River fish, the Karuk Tribe said Saturday. The tribe said in a statement that the dead fish of all species were found Friday near Happy Camp, California, along the main stem of the Klamath River. Tribal fisheries biologists believe a flash flood caused by heavy rains over the burn area caused a massive debris flow that entered the river at or
