HALIFAX — Dozens of people gathered in front of the Nova Scotia legislature today to rally in support of coastal protection legislation the provincial government is refusing to proclaim. The Progressive Conservative government said in February it would not put into force the Coastal Protection Act, which was passed in 2019 by the former Liberal government with support from all parties in the legislature. The act would have offered more protection to coastal areas, dunes and salt marshes, and res

Kenya's public hospital doctors union on Wednesday signed a return to work agreement with the government, ending a national strike that began in mid-March and had left patients in limbo.

Authorities in southern Brazil rushed Wednesday to rescue survivors of massive flooding that has killed at least 100 people, but some residents refused to leave belongings behind while others returned to evacuated homes despite the risk of new storms. Heavy rains and flooding in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul since last week also have left 128 people missing, authorities said. Staffers of the state’s civil defense agency told The Associated Press they have been struggling to persuade residents of the city of Eldorado do Sul, one of the hardest hit by the floods, to leave their homes.
A federal judge has ruled Arkansas cannot prevent two high school teachers from discussing critical race theory in the classroom, but stopped short of more broadly blocking the state from enforcing its ban on “indoctrination” in public schools. U.S. District Judge Lee Rudofsky issued a narrow preliminary injunction Tuesday evening against the ban, one of several changes adopted under an education overhaul that Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed into law last year. The prohibition is being challenged by two teachers and two students at Little Rock Central High School, site of the 1957 desegregation crisis.
U.S. House Republicans on Wednesday unveiled a bill to ban noncitizens from voting in federal elections, which is already illegal and rarely occurs, an effort meant to draw more attention to Donald Trump's false claims that U.S. elections are marred by widespread fraud. House Speaker Mike Johnson, who has relied on the former president's support to hold off a bid to oust him from leadership by Republican hardliner Marjorie Taylor Greene, said the measure was aimed at preventing noncitizens from voting in November. Republicans say the legislation would provide a needed mechanism to safeguard voting by requiring states to collect proof of U.S. citizenship before registering voters and to purge their voter rolls of noncitizens.

VICTORIA — Most drivers in British Columbia will receive a $110 vehicle insurance rebate this year.
