A British Columbia researcher in South Asian affairs said Thursday that concerns about the current India and Pakistan tensions are justified, given that the region has not seen conflicts this intense in more than 25 years. 

M.V. Ramana, professor at University of B.C.'s school of public policy and global affairs, said the last time there was a realistic risk of nuclear weapons being used was the conflict between the two sides in the Kargil region of Kashmir in 1999. 

A senior medical advisor with the Public Health Agency of Canada says the country could lose its measles elimination status if the highly contagious disease continues to spread into the fall.

Dr. Marina Salvadori warned of the possibility Thursday as cases in Ontario grew by nearly 200 infections, adding that would only occur if prolonged spread continued beyond mid-October 2025.

Veterans, diplomats, members of the Armed Forces and political leaders gathered Thursday at events across Canada commemorating the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe.

"Nearly every family knows somebody who suffered from the effect of war," said Fraser McKee, a 100-year-old veteran who helped to lay a wreath at the Toronto ceremony.

"This is to remember people that will have to go to war, as well as remembering those that went and didn’t come back."

Area residents who visited four Regina businesses over the last week should monitor themselves for symptoms of measles.

The warning was issued Thursday afternoon by the Saskatchewan Health Authority, which said in a prepared release that “individuals who were at any of the following locations during these time periods should monitor themselves closely for up to 21 days after the exposure.”

McHappy Day is here (May 8) for McDonald's locations across Canada.

City water and wastewater crews will be present on 700 block of Main Street South today and tomorrow to conduct a service replacement, and a temporary detour will be in place for the duration of the project.

Normal traffic flow will resume shortly as the project is expected to be completed by the weekend, weather permitting.

The City of Moose Jaw asks residents to remain outside of the barricades and follow all temporary signage.

A new pope has been elected following the death of Pope Francis. White smoke began billowing from the chimney atop the Sistine Chapel on Thursday, signalling the decision by the College of Cardinals.

A large crowd in the thousands erupted into cheers as the words “Habemus Papam” ("We have a pope") rang out in St. Peter's Square, about an hour after the smoke first poured out. The new pope then came out onto the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica and greeted the crowd.

The Rotary Club of Moose Jaw Wakamow is expanding their activities and appealing for more members as the group leans into fundraising to support charitable causes across the city — this summer, they’ll even be making an appearance at Sidewalk Days to serve Monty and Val Bennett’s fully loaded breakfasts. 

You wouldn’t be far off the mark if you walked outside and thought it was summer. Temperatures have consistently been well above normal here in central Saskatchewan for a while, and as the weekend nears it appears the trend will continue. 

Near record-breaking temperatures are in the forecast today and through the weekend, explained Environment and Climate Change Canada Meteorologist, Danielle Desjardins.
