The Regina Thunder have kicked off the CJFL season with a 2-0 record on the road, earning wins against the Edmonton Huskies and Calgary Colts. A former Peacock Collegiate Tornado has played a key role in those victories.

In previous seasons, Baumann was known primarily as a special teams standout. This year, however, he’s stepped into a full-time starting role on defense.

Daniel Brown, who represented Alex Formenton, said he has been informed of the prosecutors' decision. The Ministry of the Attorney General did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Air Canada says it expects to be operating close to its full network schedule by Friday. 

The airline says it is continuing to ramp up its operations in a press release Thursday.

The strike disrupted the airline's operations, resulting in the cancellation of flights. 

Mark Nasr, Air Canada's chief operations officer, said in the release that the airline is restoring operations ahead of its plan.
