Libya faces a serious security threat from foreign fighters and private military companies, especially Russia’s Wagner Group which has violated international law, U.N. experts said in a report obtained by The Associated Press. The experts also accused seven Libyan armed groups of systematically using unlawful detention to punish perceived opponents, ignoring international and domestic civil rights laws, including laws prohibiting torture. In particular, "migrants have been extremely vulnerable to human rights abuses and regularly subjected to acts of slavery, rape and torture,” the panel said in the report to the U.N. Security Council obtained late Friday by the AP.
Unbearably hot temperatures are already testing the limits of human survival, and will continue to rise, challenging our bodies' ability to cope and making parts of the world increasingly uninhabitable. Scientists say urgent steps are needed for humans to adapt to extreme heat, including rethinking the way we live, work and blast the AC. "Extreme heat is going to get more problematic going forward, period," said Professor Blair Feltmate, head of the Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation at the Uni

The owners of a long-running clock shop in eastern Ontario are winding down their business this weekend. The Fortier family behind Hertiage Clock Shop in downtown Brockville, Ont., have sold and repaired timepieces for nearly a century. Barbara and Gaetan Fortier have run the business six days a week, and sometimes seven days, in the same location for nearly 30 years, but now say they will take some time for themselves. "Our adventure has been great, very rewarding, even though at lot of hours w
What's in a song? For Doug Ford's Progressive Conservatives, there is a lot, apparently. This election is the second time the PCs were the only Ontario party to hit the trail to the sound of an original ditty written for the campaign. Those keeping even one ear on the election can probably guess its name. Yup, you got it. It's called Get It Done, the same slogan slathered all over PC campaign materials. And you may have heard it already without realizing. The song is the ubiquitous soundtrack fo
Between a school, a church that closed down long ago and a red social housing building in Montreal's Hochelaga-Maisonneuve neighbourhood, stands a stately greystone with the Virgin Mary watching over it. The old convent on Adam Street, which was a girls' school before becoming a retirement home for nuns, is now being transformed into an affordable housing project. The heritage building will become a lifeline for low-income Montrealers. "This isn't a project that will be met with 'not in my backy
Tatiana and Daniel Romano have been sleeping in their basement, as they renovate their home to house Ukrainian families fleeing the war. In the past month, they've torn down walls to create spare bedrooms and bathrooms to make their guests comfortable. For them, revamping their home in Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Que., a suburb in Montreal's West Island, is worth the trouble. "We want to be able to offer a space to live with dignity," Tatiana Romano said. "Not just a mattress on the floor." The Romanos
It's the third inning of the opening game of the new baseball season at Quillorama Stadium in Trois-Rivières and second baseman for the hometown Aigles, Joe Campagna, is at bat. He swings at an offering from pitcher Jared Cheek of Kentucky's Florence Y'alls and with a crack of the bat, the ball launches into a gap in the outfield. Montrealer Louis-Philippe Pelletier takes off from second base, rounds third and scores. The crowd rises to their feet and they cheer. As a reporter from Montreal, I c
When Steve Hamre wanted to play a song on guitar but didn't know the notes, he just had to dial up his friend Rob Hayami for help. "I'd call him up and say 'Hey Rob, listen to this song, what are the chords?'" the 50-year-old recalled. "He had an ear for music. He could play anything." He smiled as he said it, but for the past few days, Hamre has found songs he hears on the radio bring a bitter reminder that his good friend is gone. Friends of the 49-year-old Ottawa man say he was a victim of th
A retired RCMP officer has been identified as the man killed by a falling tree at a golf course in west Ottawa last Saturday when the deadly derecho windstorm pummelled the region. Ian Fraser was at the Canadian Golf and Country Club near Highway 7 and Dwyer Hill Road when he was killed. He was 60 years old. On Sunday, Ottawa police said they were investigating the death of a man who was hit by a tree at 7800 Golf Club Way. At least 10 others were killed on May 21 as the storm swept across Ontar
Voters in Ottawa Centre say they want housing policy that targets affordability and availability, and not just for families looking to buy their first home. Appoline Kalonji says existing housing policies are aimed at a narrow set of people who already have money or households with two incomes. "I'm passionate about that because I want people in my category, my age [group], to be able to afford something that's so simple as housing," she said. "Shelter is important, it's one of the basic necessi

Eskasoni First Nation members will be featured in the latest music video for Myles Goodwyn of the Canadian hard rock band April Wine. April Wine formed in Halifax and was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2010. Goodwyn said he wanted a way to amplify Indigenous voices around the missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls issue. The song, Darling Where Are You, centres around the pain of missing a loved one. For the project, he collaborated with Kalolin Johnson to sing and tra
It all started with a stomach bug. That's what Cheryl-Anne Labrador-Summers thought, anyway. It was October 2020, not long after she'd moved to the tranquil lakeside Ontario community of Georgina, and instead of relaxing with her family like she'd planned, the mother of three was struggling to figure out why she kept experiencing strange, unexplained stomach cramps. Labrador-Summers tried to visit her family physician, but the office was shuttered because of the COVID-19 pandemic. So she searche
