The 1760 treaty signed between the British, the Maliseet and the Passamaquoddy (who now prefer to go by the Wolastoqiyik and the Peskotomuhkatiyik, respectively) was displayed last year in Saint Andrews.

Overview

  • Alberta’s labour dispute escalated as letters in the Edmonton Journal urged teachers not to accept a proposed deal following student walkouts at the Legislature on Sept. 22.
  • Kingston Police confirmed they are investigating a Sept. 24 incident in which a man in a black four-door F-150 allegedly grabbed a woman’s arm near 310 Kingsdale Ave. before driving away.
  • Winnipeg letters pressed Police Chief Gene Bowers for specific bail-reform strategies and criticized the city’s plan to task bylaw officers with encampment removals without added police resources.
  • CFL proposal backlash grew in letters that warned goalpost and other rule changes could harm the league, with calls for Commissioner Stewart Johnston to prioritize attendance, a 10th team, and player support.
  • On-field updates included Winnipeg QB Zach Collaros returning from a two-game neck injury absence for the Tiger-Cats matchup, while the Edmonton Elks labeled Saturday a must-win following the sudden death of owner Larry Thompson.
