Strapped for time but looking for a quick morning update? Well, we've got it.
Here are the 5 things you need to know this Tuesday: a CTV investigation has revealed the Auditor General’s office spent thousands of taxpayer dollars; Michael Sam officially joins the Montreal Alouettes today, becoming the first openly gay CFL player; Air Canada’s first female pilot is retiring; B.C.’s premier is visiting an area devastated by floods; and a surprising neurological condition is revealed.
Plus for Tech Tuesday, we’ve gathered researchers’ views on the best filters to pick to make your Instagram photo popular.
1. Auditing the auditor: A CTV investigation has revealed the Auditor General's office spent thousands of taxpayer dollars on questionable employee events that appear to violate federal rules.
2. First for CFL: Michael Sam, the first openly gay football player, officially joins the Montreal Alouettes today. Sam, a seventh round pick by the St. Louis Rams, also briefly played for the Dallas Cowboys before he was cut from the roster.
3. Capt. Cameron Retires: Air Canada’s first female pilot is surprised so few women have followed her into the cockpit during her 37 years with the airline.
4. Flood Relief: B.C. Premier Christy Clark will visit Cache Creek, the town inundated by an intense storm over the weekend, today. Clark’s government said Monday that residents are eligible to apply for provincial funding to pay for repairs not covered by insurance.
5. ‘Mom Brain’ confirmed: A study of rats shows that females who have given birth react differently to hormones administered later in life. That adds weight to the idea motherhood permanently alters the brain, according to a UBC researcher.
