Toxic drug deaths in British Columbia in July and August have fallen to their lowest levels in those months since before the pandemic.

Data from the BC Coroners Service shows that 113 people died in July, and 126 people in August, with those figures down 50 per cent and 40 per cent from their respective peaks.

One of the Vancouver police officers involved in the violent 2015 arrest of Myles Gray that ended with his death says he never used force beyond what was required to control Gray and never lost control of his emotions.

Const. Eric Birzneck testimony at the hearing into Gray's death has featured him discussing a police form he filled out in the aftermath of the incident, telling his lawyer, Greg Cavouras, that he had never been in a more intense struggle in his career. 

U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra says American officials are "closely watching" Canadian politicians for signs of election interference.

During a recent interview on the "The Really Big Show" podcast, Hoekstra said political ads run by the province of Ontario last year could be interpreted as political interference.
