aaron dean: Earlier in the day he resigned from the force, and the police chief said he would have been fired if he hadn't, according to CTV. Police bodycam video showed Dean approaching the door of the home where Atatiana Jefferson, 28, was caring for her 8-year-old nephew early Saturday. Aaron Dean, 34, was jailed Monday night on 200,000 bond after being charged with murder in a shooting that began with a call about an open front door. He then walked around the side of the house, pushed through a gate into the fenced-off backyard and fired through the glass a split-second after shouting at Jefferson to show her hands. Nobody looked at this video and said that there's any doubt that this officer acted inappropriately, Kraus said. Dean was not heard identifying himself as police on the video, and Interim Police Chief Ed Kraus said there was no sign Dean or the other officer who responded even knocked on the front door.

business owner: To a person, his supporters echoed his words sometimes literally, according to Rabble. It's just a lot of fake news, as Donald Trump would say, said Sean Maguire, a small business owner who was was wearing a red Make America Great Again baseball cap, and carrying a large black umbrella, as he entered the rally amid a downpour. The president had dismissed the accusations as a witch hunt a conspiracy hatched by the media and political opponents to target him. Because it is a 100 per cent witch hunt.

bust-your-union line: Still, it turns out this duplication of government services is not worthy of the attention of the Ministry of Red Tape, according to Rabble. Who knew The intent of the Employee Labour Relations Support Program is to give Albertans access to labour relations information, and in some cases, supports or advice, said an unsigned email response to my query. Leastways, the nascent Bust-Your-Union Line that was announced by United Conservative Party Labour Minister Jason Copping on October 1 did respond to my query about how it was different from the Alberta Labour Relations Board, which has provided neutral information about labour relations matters to anyone who called its officials for as long as anyone can remember. The Labour Relations Board manages day-to-day operations, and may answer questions primarily related to process of applications before the Board, the anonymous responder continued carefully. Really Someone from the Labour Board would always help out most callers with any reasonable question in the past with neutral, factual information. The Employee Labour Relations Support Program may respond to a broader array of questions about the Labour Relations Code and other labour legislation in Alberta. (www.immigrantscanada.com).

eisenhower theater: Still, over the 2 hours it burns up in the Eisenhower Theater, the musical reveals only that it is dispiritingly flat-footed, according to Rabble. Aside from the inclusion of a few pop hits from the 1984 date-night flick on which it is based, Footloose, choreographed by Spencer Liff and directed by Walter Bobbie, who also staged the original production, comes across as singularly undistinguished. Well, one would have to posit that this was not the intention in the arts center's affectionately energetic concert revival of a 1998 show that ran for a year and a half on Broadway and garnered zero Tony awards. Not offensive, not intolerable, just relentlessly bland a vanilla concoction lacking anything approaching a bona fide sugar high. Each season, the program revives three musicals of various pedigrees and ages, the organizing principle being simply a roster of shows with some strong whiff of showbiz merit, or better, and the ability to strike a positive popular chord.ADADHow the Kennedy Center's theater chief sniffs out Broadway-worthy winners The previous seasons have offered some inspired restagings, such as the sizzling The Who's Tommy that director-choreographer Josh Rhodes conjured earlier this year.

jobs report: Some of the U.S. excitement from a partial trade deal between the world's two largest economies has been absorbed by a strong rise in the loonie in reaction to a healthy jobs report, along with a sizable dip in gold stocks that represent an important share of the Canadian stock market, said Patrick Blais, senior portfolio manager at Manulife Asset Management, according to CTV. Part of the underperformance is related to just our currency going up and therefore the equity markets not reacting as much because a rising currency is usually not a good thing for equities, he said in an interview.

Many of the children have family members in Canada, Chambers said. There are over two dozen detention facilities in northeastern Syria.

case study: Don't miss out on the latest news Sign up for our daily briefing But because the fake story appears to originate inside Canada rather than from a foreign power, the federal government's anti-election-meddling panel which hasn't spoken publicly about the rumour is unlikely to tackle it, experts consulted by National Observer said, according to National Observer.

turkish control: Here is a look at what has happened in northern Syria in the last few days, what could happen next, and how it could impact Canada, according to CTV. WHAT IS HAPPENING Turkish forces rolled into northern Syria on Wednesday, launching airstrikes and a ground attack on Kurdish fighters, who had previously been allied with the U.S. military in the fight against ISIS. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said he wants to establish a safe zone along the Turkey-Syria border that would essentially put many Syrian Kurds under Turkish control. The latest armed conflict in Syria comes only months after Kurdish and American forces declared that they had taken the last land held by ISIS and for anyone who watches the region closely, it was virtually inevitable following the American announcement. Although the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has largely taken back control of Syria from ISIS -- thanks in part to help from Russia and Iran -- the Kurds have picked up a certain amount of autonomy in the north. He tweeted that he aimed to prevent the creation of a terror corridor along the border. A Kurdish insurgency exists in Turkey, and Erdogan has said he views Kurds in Syria as terrorists threatening his country. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
