Pope Francis will visit residential school during Canada trip to 3 cities: archbishop It also found that 33 per cent of Canadians with access to a vehicle are ready to drive at least seven hours as part of a road trip while 31 per cent are willing to sit in their cars for at least four hours.“Over the last few years, many Canadians told us that spending time in nature was the primary goal of their summer road trips,” said Stephen Beatty, vice president, corporate, at Toyota Canada.“By contrast, there’s much more buzz in the air this year as people are excited to take road trips to reconnect with their wider circles of family and friends, and to once again enjoy larger-scale summer events like concerts, festivals and sporting events.”Among the reasons respondents were looking to hit the road are seeing family or friends (56 per cent), overnight stays (52 per cent), hitting a beach (34 per cent) or a national or provincial park (31 per cent).The survey also found that more 39 per cent of Canadians are looking to use more vacation time this summer than they did in 2021.

Pope Francis to visit Canada in July with stops in Alberta, Quebec, Nunavut
Pope Francis will stop in Alberta, Quebec and Nunavut during his visit to Canada this summer.It says the capital cities of Edmonton, Quebec City and Iqaluit will act as bases for the trip from July 24 to 29.The visit comes after the Pope’s historic apology last month for the Roman Catholic Church’s role in residential schools in Canada.Archbishop Richard Smith of Edmonton, general coordinator of the trip for the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, says it will be another important step for healing and reconciliation. Pope Francis’ visit to Canada could include stops in Alberta, Quebec: source Smith says the locations were chosen by the Vatican and the Pope’s mobility and health issues had to be considered.He says specific sites and a formal program are to be developed with Indigenous partners.An estimated 150,000 Indigenous children were forced to attend residential schools and more than 60 per cent of the schools were run by the Catholic Church.On April 1, after meetings over several days with First Nations, Inuit and Metis groups at the Vatican, Pope Francis apologized for the deplorable conduct of church members involved in residential schools.“I want to say to you with all my heart: I am very sorry,” Francis said in Italian before a room of nearly 200 Indigenous delegates.

Great white shark stalking the East Coast spotted near New Jersey, Carolinas
FOX NEWS - A massive great white shark stalking the East Coast was spotted near the Carolinas on Monday after earlier being tracked off the coast of New Jersey, according to researchers.Ironbound, the 12-foot, 4-inch shark weighing nearly 1,000 pounds, made headlines after migrating from the Carolinas up the coast to New Jersey late last month.As of Monday, it appears the great white returned to the Carolinas, according to OCEARCH shark researchers who keep track of sharks’ migratory patterns via a tag tracking system.Researchers believe a white shark mating site is located off the Carolinas, the Boston Herald reported.OCEARCH Chief Scientist Robert Hueter told the outlet last week that Ironbound may have left the site early ahead of the other sharks, adding that is unclear what sparked the migration.Despite Ironbound’s apparent return to southern waters, New Jersey may not have seen the last of the great white. Hueter said that the sharks will usually start migrating to northern waters in mid-to-late May and arrive in those areas beginning in June.Ironbound is considered the "leader of the pack," according to Hueter, who described the apex predator as "formidable" and "not the prettiest animal."Ironbound was first tagged in October 2019 near Lunenburg, Nova Scotia.

'Really gruesome': 3 killed, 1 injured when car crashes into Philadelphia SEPTA station
PHILADELPHIA - Three people are dead after a car crashed into a SEPTA station in Kensington, authorities say. Police say a car traveling at a high rate of speed crashed into a turn-style, pedestrians and then the Allegheny Avenue SEPTA station.  Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small says the crash happened around 2:45 a.m. when an officer on detail at Kensington Avenue and Allegheny Avenue saw a car traveling at a high rate of speed. The officer heard the vehicle first and believes it was "easily going 100 miles per hour," Small says. Authorities say the car jumped the curb and hit a turn-style, hit three pedestrians and then SEPTA station building. Small says the crash was "really gruesome" as one of the victims was decapitated and their body was dismembered and burned due to a car fire that started after the crash. The body of another victim believed to be a female was severely mangled and crushed, according to police. Small says the crash scene was so brutal that all three victims were pronounced dead and the medical examiner is on scene. Police say the driver of the car and two pedestrians died as a result of the crash and another person was transferred to Temple University Hospital. Due to the incident, the Allegheny Station is being bypassed and shuttle buses will run in both directions between Somerset and Tioga. Service at the SEPTA Allegheny Avenue Station will be bypassed and shuttle buses will be available after a fatal crash into the station.
