Calgary police are asking for help finding Raymond, 70, last seen Friday morning at Foothills Medical Centre in northwest Calgary. He has a medical condition and was wearing a white t-shirt and jeans without a jacket. Here’s what he looks like, what to do if you see him and how you can help.

Barack Obama wants to know how the U.S. managed to make Canada so mad. At a Detroit rally, he called Canada “that well-known evil empire,” joked about Martin Short and maple syrup, and said Trump’s tariffs are driving up prices.

A $20-billion AI data centre proposed southwest of Edson would come with its own natural gas power plant. Tourmaline’s Malachite One would burn 150 million cubic feet of gas a day to make about a gigawatt of electricity, and it could bring up to 560 permanent jobs to Yellowhead County. Residents have questions about water, Highway 47 and noise, and the project still needs approvals. Here’s what’s planned, where the water would come from and what happens next.

Costco Canada is recalling its Movie Night Gift Set after a packaging mix-up put almond chocolate bars inside without almonds on the label. Sets sold at warehouses across Canada and on Costco.ca between Sept. 24 and Oct. 16 are affected.
