National
Cyclist arrested at Reflecting Pool is former Olympian who denies vandalism claims
David Hearn said he touched the pool's detached liner but "didn't destroy or break or peel anything." Trump has accused vandals of sabotaging the refurbishment as paint was seen peeling and floating in the water.

oh

Large commercial trucks make up three per cent of vehicles on Ontario roads, the report said, but accounted for twelve per cent of vehicles involved in fatal collisions between 2019 and 2023. This could be because in Ontario, unlike other provinces, high-risk drivers, including those with suspensions or convictions, are able to obtain large commercial truck-driving licences.
