The poll by Research Co. showed that young adults are among the most in favor of a name change that recognizes the province’s Indigenous heritage. Overall, 53 percent of British Columbians oppose changing the province’s name, which is seven points below a similar poll conducted in August 2021. However, a third of British Columbians, 32 percent, would like to go ahead with a name change, and that number rises to 50 percent among 18- to 34-year-olds, according to the poll....

Experts say that in recent years, out-of-school students have entered a “buyer market” on campus, with candidates having a good chance of talking about a good university even if they have lost a grade. But this year, with elite universities fearing over-recruitment as they were forced to admit more students than they wanted during the pandemic, and with a demographic increase in the number of 18-year-olds, competition was fierce. Andrew Hargreaves, founder of Data HE, a university consulting firm on imports, and former director of Ucas’s import service, said: “Ucas has not released official figures yet, but I have been told that more than 10,000 candidates with BBB grades do not have a fixed offer at any university....

The boat capsized in Lake Lavon on Saturday night, Collin County Sheriff’s Office said. The ship was carrying four men and one was able to hold on to a tree and call for help, the sheriff’s office said. Texas Game Wardens rescued the man holding the tree and learned that the other three boatmen had disappeared, leading to a water and air search of the lake about 40 miles (64 kilometers) northeast of Dallas....

A person was seen holding a sign that read “TERFs can suck d—”. TERF, an acronym for the radical feminist with exclusion, is a derogatory term used to describe feminists who criticize gender. After the protest ended, the women’s rights group said they went to the pub only to be locked inside as the trans activists gathered outside. Police were seen on video guarding the entrance. “GC women and men have been barred from a Bristol pub by trans activists who will not #LetWomenSpeak,” a Twitter user wrote as he posted a picture of pro-rights protesters gathered outside....

Weiselberg said Donald Trump, or at times Eric Trump or Donald Trump Jr., signed checks to pay up to $100,000 in private school tuition for Weiselberg’s grandchildren. Weiselberg said he then instructed the company’s auditor to deduct $100,000 from his salary, allowing him to report less income. Copies of some of the checks signed by the Trumps have been produced in court. Weiselberg said that the first time Trump signed a check for the tuition, Weiselberg told him, “Don’t forget, I’m going to pay you for it....

“I’m going to make a very big announcement on Tuesday, November 15, at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida,” Trump told supporters at a rally for Ohio Senate candidate JD Vance. But in a national poll and interviews, voters in three battleground states on Tuesday expressed concerns about the 76-year-old Republican former president’s age, his polarizing personality and his ability to compete in a general election. “I’m going to do everything I can to make sure he doesn’t run,” said Gordon Nelson, 77, who voted overwhelmingly Republican Tuesday in Birmingham, Mich....

Two people with the same names and ages have been identified by Windsor police as suspects in a recent rash of gym thefts in Windsor....

DALLAS (AP) – Two historic military aircraft collided and crashed Saturday during an air show in Dallas, exploding in a ball of flames and sending black smoke billowing into the sky. It was not clear how many people were on board. Emergency crews rushed to the crash site at Dallas Executive Airport, about 10 miles (16 kilometers) from downtown. News footage from the scene showed crumpled wreckage of the planes in a grassy area within the airport perimeter....

Posté à 5h00 Émilie Bilodeau La Presse L’emballage des médicaments doit être bilingue partout au Canada. Mais au cours des dernières années, Santé Canada a accordé des exemptions aux fabricants justement pour pallier certaines pénuries, explique Bertrand Bolduc, président de l’Ordre des pharmaciens du Québec. « Lorsque cela se produit, les pharmaciens sont alertés et préparent des étiquettes en français à apposer sur les produits. On sait que c’est pour une situation temporaire et un besoin pressant », a-t-il dit en réponse à un article du Toronto Star qui prétend que la pénurie est causée notamment par des étiquettes qui doivent être dans les deux langues officielles....

An investigation by the Public Accounts Committee found that the Animal and Plant Health Authority (APHA) in Weybridge was “continually vulnerable to major harm” because the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs had “totally failed” to manage the site. . The commission found more than 1,000 “single points of failure” in national facilities that would seriously undermine its ability to undertake the UK’s response in the event of a major outbreak of animal disease....

Moscow should not negotiate with Washington on nuclear disarmament until the United States “pulls back” in the talks, said former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. Russia and the United States, the world’s two largest nuclear powers, have been negotiating a series of nuclear arms reduction treaties since Ronald Reagan came to power in 1981. However, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has caused the most serious disruption in Russia-US relations since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis....

“The State Department has decided to approve a potential military sale to the Government of Lithuania of M142 HIMARS launchers and related equipment for an estimated cost of US$495 million. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency submitted the required certification by notifying Congress of this potential sale today,” the agency said in a press release. The agency said the planned sale will help Lithuania achieve its military goals of modernizing its military, while enhancing interoperability with the United States and other partners and helping to deter regional threats....

The footage released by the Ukrainian military appears to have been shot down by a drone and allegedly shows Russian positions repeatedly targeted and hit by Ukrainian artillery fire, with Ukrainians saying they had also destroyed Russian military equipment. The images were taken Monday night by the Center for Strategic Communications and Information Security, which belongs to the Ukrainian government, under the Ministry of Culture and Information, with the Center saying: “Minus 23 conquerors!...

Several experiments from the 1990s studying neutrinos found something really strange: there were too many particles appearing in the detectors. In particle physics, even small deviations from the expected experimental results have excited scientists. Now, a new experiment conducted deep underground, more than two kilometers below the mountains of Russia’s Caucasus, confirms the previously observed anomaly, pointing to a new, as yet unconfirmed elementary particle called a “sterile neutrino.” Either that or our physique is flawed, so these results are incredibly important regardless of the outcome....
