(Eddy Kennedy/CBC)A 45-year-old man on the northeast Avalon is facing 46 new charges in connection with sexual violence against females. The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary's Child Abuse and Sexual Assault unit originally charged the man in February following a report of sexual violence against a youth at a home. Charges at that time included sexual assault, sexual interference, voyeurism and possessing and making child sexual abuse and exploitation material, according to the RNC.

“We’re hopeful we’re getting on the leading edge of preventing big declines in other areas by getting the probiotic out there.” BOW VALLEY – A probiotic cocktail aimed at slowing the alarming die-off of bats from white-nose syndrome is showing early and promising signs it could be helping, according to researchers. Last year, the province of Alberta began applying a probiotic cocktail at two sites where bats were roosting in the southeastern part of the province and has since expanded the number of treatment sites to 14.

On Monday, Albertans vote on whether to stay in Canada or hold another binding referendum on quitting Canada. If the vote goes as polls suggest, a majority of Albertans will mark an X to stay in Confederation, and Premier Danielle Smith has said if that’s so, she expects everyone to accept it and move on. Leaders of the independence movement contest that. And political watchers are divided about whether separation — previously a fringe sentiment — will now be a prominent, permanent feature of Alberta’s political landscape, as in Quebec. Julian Castro-Rea, a political-science professor at the University of Alberta who studies the separation debates in Quebec and Alberta, believes as long as Alberta feels alienated from the Canadian capital — feeling that Ottawa benefits from Alberta’s resource economy without giving back — the movement will have fuel. “Even if the referendum is lost, the westernization will still be around, because it’s kind of a way which, traditionally, Albertans have related to the rest of Canada,” says Castro-Rea, who believes western alienation may remain indefinitely.

It’s no secret the long-held Canadian consensus on immigration has fractured — pulled apart by a rapid increase in new arrivals post-pandemic and growing affordability challenges. Now, that fracture is starting to show up at the ballot box. The Parti Québécois won a minority mandate in Quebec on a platform that included promises of tighter immigration controls, which the party linked to protecting French culture and easing pressure on public services and housing. And when Albertans head to the polls Monday to vote on whether to hold a future referendum on separation from Canada, they’ll also be answering five separate questions on immigration being pushed by the government of Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. Those questions include:— Should the province should have more say over economic immigration?— Should provincially funded services should be restricted to citizens, permanent residents and those with “Alberta-approved” immigration status?
