• How to get a whole city to stop lawn watering? Experts say praise over punishment

  07-09-2024 16:13
  
  For almost two weeks, a city of 1.6 million people has been told once again to stop watering lawns, take three-minute showers, hold off on laundry and dishes, and let the yellow in their toilets mellow. Calgarians are about halfway through water rationing redux and, this time, more has gone down the drain than the city can sustainably manage as a troubled pipe is repaired.

• Biden's disastrous debate performance offers lessons for Harris and warnings for Trump

  07-09-2024 15:15
  
  The first sign of trouble came before the debate even started. “Folks, how are you?” U.S. President Joe Biden said as he shuffled onto the stage. His voice was raspy and thin, his movements stiff. “Good to be here. Thank you.” It was an inauspicious glimpse of what would become a historic night. The first and last debate between Biden and Donald Trump started a chain reaction leading to U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris replacing Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket.
