That count…

OTTAWA — Information commissioner Caroline Maynard says a federal proposal to narrow the scope of the Access to Information Act is a move in the wrong direction that could exclude “entire swaths of government-held records” from public scrutiny. Maynard makes the blunt warning in a newly published submission to the Treasury Board Secretariat’s latest review of the access regime. The department issued a policy document in March that set out possible changes to the Access to Information system and solicited feedback from interested parties. The policy paper acknowledges shortcomings in the access system, including poor federal information management, a lack…

He worked his way back to fitness, and was playing for his professional club, Bayern Munich, in early May when he injured a hamstring. He’s been in a race to heal since, and Canada has been careful to bring him along slowly. They did not want to risk further injury, especially when they didn’t desperately need him. More time to heal is better.

Turkey coach Vincenzo Montella lamented a ‘shocking’ early exit from the World Cup as they lost 1-0 to Paraguay despite Miguel Almiron’s historic red card. Matias Galarza’s goal 64 seconds into the contest in Santa Clara gave Paraguay the lead, his long-range effort making the fastest strike of the tournament so far. Turkey dominated thereafter, with Mert Muldur hitting the crossbar, and their hopes of victory were boosted when Almiron was sent off in first-half stoppage time following a VAR review, becoming the first player to see red for covering his mouth in a confrontational situation, having done so in…

A decade after the Brexit referendum, the UK is experiencing a form of “divorce regret” with surveys showing most Britons now believe leaving the European Union was a mistake. Cue a raft of colourful terms to describe a possible fairytale reunion — and a more serious political debate on whether that’s something London should pursue. The jostling ahead of an expected Labour bid to unseat Prime Minister Keir Starmer has further spotlighted the issue — after likely challenger Andy Burnham spoke of wanting to one day see the UK back in the EU. But what of the scorned partner: would…
