  • Summary

  • Jasper gets some relief – in the form of rain, and with the news that 70% of the town is likely still standing. The 2024 Olympic games kick off with an extravagant and rainy opening ceremony. Some of the world’s top artists performed, including Canada’s Céline Dion, as tens of thousands of athletes paraded down the famous Seine river on boats. But Canada’s women’s soccer team is grappling with the removal of its head coach, after drones were used to spy on New Zealand’s team practice. Canada Soccer says this kind of cheating is "systemic" and likely extends well beyond this incident. Adding to the many perils facing the people of Gaza, the polio virus has been detected in the waste water of the war-ravaged territory. The UN says hundreds of thousands of people urgently need access to vaccines. Plus… The Supreme Court rules that the Crown made a "mockery" of two treaties, the popularity of running, and more.
