Ex-Mountie says hunt for stabbing suspect complicated by vast open space of Prairies

A former Mountie says the vast open spaces of the Prairies could complicate the manhunt for one of the suspects in Sunday's deadly stabbing rampage in Saskatchewan.

"This is a huge area, and there's a whole lot of nothing," said retired RCMP officer Sherry Benson-Podolchuk. "There's a lot of places people can hide."

Her comments come as police continue to search for 30-year-old Myles Sanderson. Police say he may be injured, is considered dangerous and should not be approached.

Canadian astronaut Saint-Jacques says Artemis 1 delay disappointing, but right call

Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques says today's decision to scrub the launch of NASA's new moon rocket is disappointing but necessary due to another leak found ahead of the planned test flight.

The Artemis 1 rocket sprang another fuel leak, forcing controllers to call off the second attempt this week to send a crew capsule with test dummies aboard into lunar orbit.

The first attempt on Monday was also aborted due to escaping hydrogen elsewhere on the 98-metre NASA-built rocket.

Canada to implement 988 suicide crisis line starting in fall 2023

The CRTC says it will launch a new emergency crisis number for people in need of immediate mental health or suicide prevention support.

Mulroney said in an interview that while U.S. president Ronald Reagan gets a lot of credit for ending the Cold War without a shot, "it takes two to tango," and Gorbachev was an indispensable leader on the other side.
