OTTAWA – On Thursday, NDP Public Service and Procurement Critic Gord Johns brought forward a motion to determine which government buildings could be converted into housing and to ensure that public land isn't sold off to rich private developers, so that more Canadians have a safe and affordable place to call home. 'Canada is experiencing one of the worst housing crises we've ever seen. Rent is astronomically high in every city across the country, and it's become harder for people to buy a home,' said Johns.

LONDON (AP) — Travis Etienne rushed for 136 yards and two fourth-quarter touchdowns and the Jacksonville Jaguars beat the jet-lagged Buffalo Bills 25-20 on Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The Jaguars (3-2) may not want to leave London after getting back-to-back wins in the British capital, ending Buffalo's three-game winning streak and proving they can hang with an AFC powerhouse. The Bills (3-2) had routed their past three opponents but looked tired at times, rushed for only 29 yards, and had a rash of injuries.

IT'S THAT SEASON Tricycle and motorcycles negotiate a flooded street inside the Baseco Compound in Port Area, Manila, in this photo taken on June 11. —GRIG C. MONTEGRANDE Sen. Francis Escudero on Friday questioned Malacañang's request for Congress to allot P255 billion for flood control projects in 2024, noting that the government's proposed annual spending program for next year was awash with such projects. 'This is clearly a misallocation of resources that does not even follow the administration's own economic blueprint and development vision,' Escudero said in a statement.

dailies-editorials (3)(EDITORIAL from Korea JoongAng Daily on Aug. 11)The DP needs deep soul searching to surviveThe Democratic Party (DP) is going out of control. Internal chaos of the majority party has been deepening over the repeated cryptocurrency trading by Rep. Kim Nam-kook during legislative sessions, its fandom-based politics, and the disclosure of nearly 20 members suspected of having received cash ahead of the 2021 national convention to elect a new party leader. Even its current leader Lee Jae-myung will be arraigned by the prosecution once again for questioning him over his potential involvement in the suspicious redevelopment project in Baekhyen-dong, Seongnam, not to mention its ongoing investigation into his pressure to Ssangbangwool Group to send $8 million to North Korea in return for favors and for his possible reward trip to Pyongyang as Gyeonggi governor.

KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — A Sherpa guide who climbed the world's 14 tallest mountains in record time is eyeing another record, looking to become the youngest person to scale all those peaks twice. Tenjen Sherpa, 35, and Norwegian climber Kristin Harila, 37, shattered the record for the fastest climb of the 14 mountains more than 8,000 meters (about 26,000 feet) high when they topped Mount K2 in Pakistan late last month. The previous record was 189 days, and the pair did it in 92 days. Instead of taking a long break, Tenjen intends to start working toward his new goal by joining an expedition to scale Mount Shishapangma in China within the next couple of months.
