Canucks acquire defenceman Brannstrom from Avalanche for Poolman, 2025 draft pick

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has issued a recall due to possible Listeria contamination for more than a dozen brands of beef jelly tongue products sold in Ontario.

The agency issued the warning and recall Saturday, urging people who purchased the potentially contaminated meat to throw it out or return it to where it was bought.

The recall affects 13 different brands, and includes beef jelly tongue products that may not have a labeled brand.

The food inspection agency says the products that may be contaminated were sold from stores in London, Waterloo, Kitchener and throughout the Greater Toronto Area up until Saturday.

Food contaminated with Listeria may not look or smell spoiled, but the inspection agency says it can cause vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headaches and neck stiffness.

Listeria poses a significant risk to people who have a weakened immune system, are elderly or are pregnant.

OTTAWA – Hundreds of people are gathering today in cities across Canada to remember the victims of Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel and the hostages that have still not yet made it home.

In the nation’s capital, seas of Israeli flags are draped over participants in front of Ottawa city hall, with Canadian flags waving alongside them as they call for the release of hostages still being held in Gaza.

They are expected to march alongside an increased police presence to Parliament Hill, where a Liberal MP and a Conservative MP will be among those delivering speeches at an event to mark the sombre anniversary.

In Toronto, some politicians and community members are joining a rally in support of Israel and the hostages that has run every week since Oct. 7, 2023.

A pro-Palestinian demonstration is set to take place at Montreal’s Dorchester Square this afternoon, the second such event to take place in the city this weekend.

Hamas’s incursion into Israel last Oct. 7 saw more than 1,200 Israelis killed and about 240 hostages seized, triggering an Israeli counter-offensive in Gaza that the regional health ministry says has left more than 41,000 dead.
