The Canadian Press
A patient at a hospital in Quebec’s Lanaudiere region is being tested for Ebola, but the region’s health authority says the individual is at a low risk of having the virus.

The patient started to have a fever and diarrhea 16 days after returning from an Ebola-stricken part of Africa, a time gap the region’s public health director says considerably reduces the chances of infection.

Muriel Lafarge says all the standard isolation protocols have been put in place to monitor the patient, whose gender and identity have not been released.

The setting, her home...after dinner....in mommy mode:

Our interview takes place after dinner, in a book-lined office/study neatly crammed with all types of J.Lo memorabilia-but not before Lopez reminds her kids, twins Emme and Max, that they have school tomorrow, and have to be in bed by 8 p.m. When she finally enters, Jennifer is barefoot and looking super comfortable in ready-for-bed wear. Yes, the icon wears regular pajamas, and she looks great. Speaking with the aura of a seasoned self-help guru, she reveals how she got to this happy place.

On fairytales about relationships that little girls are taught:

Yeah, well, that’s what we’re taught when we’re little. Little girls are taught that especially. Prince Charming is gonna come along. You’re going to live happily ever after, and then that doesn’t happen. You have your first boyfriend in high school and that falls apart and you’re like, “What’s going on?” [Laughs.] All of these things get shattered one by one. It’s so unfair.

The Maple Leafs have lost five games in a row and 13 of their previous 16. See below her humorous tweet;

Oddities! Angry UK mother explains why she invoiced 5yr old for missing birthday party

A heated row between two mums over Facebook has revealed how a five-year-old ended up being invoiced for missing a birthday party. Derek Nash and Tanya Walsh were stunned when they found a bill for £15.95 inside their son's school bag.

Alex Nash (pictured with his dad), aged five, decided to go on an outing with his grandparents instead of taking up an invite to attend the friend's birthday bash at a snow centre. But delivery driver Derek was horrified when Alex came home with an invoice in a brown envelope from party host Julie Lawrence in his school bag last Thursday.

Iranian national soccer team is currently playing in the Asia Cups finals in Australia and the players have been warned not to take selfies with female fans. Iran says it is against their 'moral principles' and any player caught taking selfies with 'female' fans will be punished. They don't mind them taking selfies with male fans though.

When they play back home in Iran, women are not even allowed to come watch the games. Iran made the threats to players after photos of some of them posing with some female fans, who are mostly Iranian-born who live in Australia, were shared on social media...

Actress Jennifer Aniston Reactions to Oscar Snub

Jennifer Aniston isn't eating cake by her lonesome. Hours after it was revealed that she had been snubbed by the Oscars, the Cake actress joined several other A-listers at the Critics' Choice Awards in L.A. on Thursday, Jan. 15, appearing to be just fine.

"I'd be lying if there wasn't a little [aw], but after that there's a lot of, 'but look at tonight, look at the Globes, look at the SAGs!'" Aniston, 45, told Access Hollywood on the red carpet. "We're an embarrassment of wonderful riches [for] a movie that hasn't even been released and is teensy tiny. This is all just cherries on top of something that was really special to us. So we're really excited."

Despite the snub, Aniston was nominated for a Golden Globe and Critics' Choice Award for her work. (Moore came out on top in both.) In addition, she has also received support from her famous pals Witherspoon and Moore since the Oscars announcement. "[Reese] sent me such a sweet email, as did Julianne [Moore].

Ontario FirstNations Girl Who Refused Chemo For Traditional Therapy Dies

 Connie Walker, CBC News
Makayla Sault, the 11-year-old Ontario First Nation girl who refused chemotherapy to pursue traditional indigenous medicine and other alternative treatments, has died.

The girl died Monday after suffering a stroke Sunday.

"Surrounded by the love and support of her family, her community and her nation … Makayla completed her course. She is now safely in the arms of Jesus," her family said in a statement published by the Two Row Times.

The girl’s case made national headlines and ignited a debate about the validity of indigenous medicine and the rights of children to choose their own treatment. The Saults are from the New Credit First Nation near Caledonia, Ont.

Newfoundland and Labrador says it is suspending its participation in all trade agreements because of its dispute with Ottawa over a promised federal-provincial fisheries fund.

The provincial government says the federal government has failed to honour its commitment to provide $280 million in exchange for the province relinquishing minimum processing requirements for fish plants as part of a free trade deal with Europe.

Torstar News Service
HitchBOT is headed for the Autobahn. The Canadian-made hitchhiking robot that talked and tweeted its way from Halifax to Victoria last summer — that talked and tweeted its way in the Rockies and being bestowed with an honorary name at a powwow on Manitoulin Island — is gearing up for its next quest: thumbing its way around Germany.

The robot’s designers are hoping it will receive a comparably warm welcome on its first foreign foray, after it won the adoration of hundreds on its maiden trek across Canada.

“I think being helpful to something that needs help is something that is innate to everybody,” said Frauke Zeller, the Ryerson University professor and hitchBOT co-creator, who is also from Germany.

Blessing In Disguise: Target Canada Exit Leaves $2billion Of Sales For Grabs

Target Canada can't wait to meet its neighbours and is hoping the feeling is mutual but at last it was an uneventful exit

The impending departure of U.S. discounter Target Corp. from Canada sets the stage for a new retail era in which top players could emerge stronger while weaker ones lose more ground.

Target’s abrupt decision on Thursday to quit Canada after less than two years will bring short-term pain for rivals as the chain prepares to liquidate inventory at its 133 stores – a boon for consumers that increases pressure on competitors.

Lol! Tiger Woods front tooth knocked out by cameraman in Italy

One of the tooth of legendary golfer Tiger Woods was knocked out today by an overeager cameraman as he was about to surprise his girlfriend Lindsey Vonn after she won a World Cup event in Italy.

Toronto FC signs Italian playmaker Sebastian Giovinco

 The Canadian Press
In signing five-foot-four Italian playmaker Sebastian Giovinco from Juventus, Toronto FC has once again raised the bar for Major League Soccer.

But given Toronto’s eight-year history of failure on the pitch, luring a European star in his prime to North America won’t mean much unless the rich kid on the MLS block can finally win on the field and make the playoffs.

The 27-year-old Giovinco, nicknamed the Atomic Ant, will join Toronto in July after his contract with Italy’s Juventus expires.

While Toronto opted to forgo props to highlight the Giovinco acquisition — unlike the double-decker bus parked outside the unveiling last January of now-departed England striker Jermain Defoe — Toronto general manager Tim Bezbatchenko was talking big about the little Italian.

Game of Trade: Canada fights back in Buy America feud

Canadian and American flags fly in Point Roberts, Wash. (Darryl Dyck/The Canadian Press)

Ottawa has invoked a rarely used anti-sanctions law after Alaska refused to void Buy America purchasing rules in the rebuilding of a B.C. ferry terminal.

The Canadian government signed an order Monday under the Foreign Extraterritorial Measures Act, barring companies from complying with the requirement that only U.S. steel be used on the project in Prince Rupert, B.C., Trade Minister Ed Fast said.

The Foreign Extraterritorial Measures Act, a federal anti-sanctions law, has been used only once, in 1992, to counter the U.S. trade embargo on Cuba.

The law gives the federal Attorney General the power to issue orders, making it illegal for bidders on the project to comply with the Buy America rules.

 Woman screams her innocence before being beheaded in Saudi Arabia for murdering 6yr-old step-daughter

A woman beheaded in a Saudi street for killing her husband's 6yr old daughter screams her innocence in graphic footage of the execution uploaded to the Internet. An executioner in Mecca, the holy city, took two swings to hack off Layla bint Abdul Mutaleb Bassim's head, after she was found guilty of beating the girl and raping her with a broomstick.

The incident has sparked outrage in the country, but not because of the brutal punishment meted out. Rather Saudis are up in arms that the execution was filmed and posted online, where the woman's family might see it.

Now Saudi authorities have arrested someone for filming the execution, local media reports. But it was not clear what crime he has been arrested for.

Busted! US Teachers Caught Having Sex With Students In Beach

              
Two teachers have been arrested after being caught indulging in s*x with their male students while away on a field trip. South Hills High School teacher Melody Lippert, 38, met up with a group of students at a beach in San Clemente in November of last year. Cops however says she gave the group alcohol to take and then engaged in a s*xual act with one of the male students.

Not satisfied, she reportedly made plans to meet up with the students a second time at the same spot, bringing along another teacher, 30-year-old Michelle Ghirelli.

The two met up with several of the same group, spending a night on the beach during which they had s*x with two students.

Police released the pair on bail on Sunday, according to American news reports, and are due to appear in court on Wednesday.

Seems Canada Can't Do Anything To Stop Keystone XL Pipeline Project Oppositions

Alexander Panetta, The Canadian Press
The American environmental organizations fighting the Keystone XL pipeline say there's no climate-change plan Canada could possibly adopt that would make them back down.

Multiple groups contacted this week dismissed an idea often heard in Canada — that a more ambitious climate policy by the federal government might have influenced the Keystone outcome.

They said there's no carbon tax too high, cap-and-trade ceiling too low, or climate plan too punishing on greenhouse-gas emissions that would have changed their opposition to that pipeline.

"Inconceivable. Would never happen," said Jason Kowalski, the U.S. policy director for 350.org, one of the groups that helped turn a Nebraska land dispute into a national debate over climate change.

They're now awaiting the final outcome of the six-year Keystone saga — and these green groups are extremely optimistic they're on the verge of victory.

How Come! RBC Customer's Bank Accounts Wiped Out 3 Times By Fraud

RBC downtown Toronto. CP

Meghann Johnston has seen her RBC bank accounts looted three times by someone who stole her identity. The fraudsters walked away with tens of thousands of dollars. 

Johnston calls it "an incredibly stressful" situation. 

Each time, a fraudster walked into an RBC branch during business hours pretending to be Johnston, presented fake ID and was allowed to withdraw money from Johnston's account. 

The first time it happened in Toronto in 2012, Johnston was a law student. She was home studying when the call came from RBC telling her she had to get to her branch right away.

"I found out that somebody had gone into a branch and was impersonating me and had withdrawn quite a large sum of money from my student line of credit," she told Go Public. 

Johnston said the fraudster took $26,000. The bank gave her the money back and launched an investigation. Johnston had to go through the process of changing all her accounts and her automatic payments and had to pay the associated fees.
