Due to consistently low <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/tag/covid" target="_blank" rel="noopener" target="_blank">COVID-19</a> cases counts in the region, Kingston Health Sciences Centre (KHSC) is now allowing patients staying in hospital two visitors instead of just one.
Those two visitors will not be allowed to see the patient at the same time, and the hospital organization is encouraging patients to choose visitors who are fully vaccinated.

Those under quarantine will continue to be disallowed any visitors until their isolation period ends.
Still, no changes are being made in day surgery or outpatient areas, like clinics, the emergency department and the urgent care centre.
Patients attending these areas of local hospitals must come alone if they are able to.
KHSC says it will allow one visitor to accompany vulnerable patients such as pediatric patients, those with severe dementia or those who are dying.

Kingston Health Sciences Centre will now allow two visitors to visit those staying in inpatient areas of the hospital due to consistently low COVID-19 case counts.

RCMP in Halifax continue to search for the driver of a white 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan after it led officers on a lengthy car chase in Lower Sackville Tuesday evening.

&#8220;RCMP activated emergency equipment in an attempt to stop the vehicle however the driver continued to speed away,&#8221; the release said.
It said officers pursued the vehicle into the Churchill Downs area of Lower Sackville, where two police cars and some private property was damaged.
The Tiguan then fled the area and went onto Highway 101 toward Windsor. The release said police stopped following it a short time later and the vehicle has not been located.

A new poll suggests more <a href="http://globalnews.ca/tag/canada">Canadians</a> believe the worst of the <a href="http://globalnews.ca/tag/covid">COVID-19 pandemic</a> has not passed as concerns rise about a fourth wave of infections driven by the spread of the highly contagious <a href="http://globalnews.ca/tag/delta">Delta variant</a>.
Fifty-four per cent of respondents to an online survey by Leger and the Association for Canadian Studies say the worst of the COVID-19 crisis is already over, compared with 63 per cent who believed so in a survey last month.
Leger executive vice-president Christian Bourque said there is a nine per cent drop in the percentage of people who believe that the worst is behind us and a six per cent increase in the percentage of those who say the worst is yet to come.

&#8220;We are seeing an impact of all the talk around the Delta variant,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It is scaring some Canadians.&#8221;
The poll also found that 73 per cent of Canadians believe that governments should not lift all restrictions related to COVID-19 at the moment.
Bourque said that number is up by three points since another survey asked the same question last month.
The online poll of 1,534 adult Canadians was carried out July 30 and Aug. 1, and it cannot be assigned a margin of error because internet-based surveys are not considered random samples.

Canada&#8217;s top doctor warned last week that the country is at the start of a fourth wave of COVID-19 that could lead to a sharp resurgence in cases if public health restrictions are lifted before vaccination rates pick up.
&#8220;The trajectory will depend on an ongoing increase in fully vaccinated coverage and the timing, pace and extent of reopening,&#8221; Dr. Theresa Tam said Friday as she revealed new COVID-19 modelling.
&#8220;While some resurgence is expected as measures are eased, this updated model shows that if we maintain current levels of community-wide contacts, we would expect to see a modest increase in cases.&#8221;

Meanwhile, the new survey found that a majority of Canadians regularly watch the Olympic Games that are taking place in Tokyo.
Fifty-two per cent of the respondents say they are following the competitions and the athletes&#8217; performances and 61 per cent say the Olympics are still relevant.
&#8220;We did want to find out because some people were saying, &#8216;Well, because of COVID and because of ? the cost of the Olympics, is it still relevant to have sort of those major international competitions?&#8221;&#8217; Bourque said.
&#8220;A majority of people, six out of 10, say, &#8216;Yes, they are still important.&#8221;&#8217;

The survey also suggests that 82 per cent of Canadians believe that women athletes should be able to wear any clothes they want while playing sports.
A controversy around what some women athletes can and cannot wear started weeks before the Olympics when Norway`s women&#8217;s beach handball team got fined for wearing shorts instead of bikini bottoms in a match at the Beach Handball Euro 2021 tournament.
Last week, the German women&#8217;s gymnastics team took the floor for their first competition at the Tokyo Olympics wearing unitards with leggings that stretched down to the ankle. The gymnasts said the wardrobe choice was intended to push &#8220;against sexualization&#8221; in women&#8217;s gymnastics.

The final set of hearings in the extradition case of <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/category/huawei" target="_blank">Huawei</a>&#8216;s chief financial officer <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/tag/meng-wanzhou" target="_blank">Meng Wanzhou</a> are due to begin today in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver.
Legal arguments are expected over the next few weeks from the Department of Justice and Meng&#8217;s lawyers over whether she should be extradited to the United States.
Meng is wanted on allegations that she misled HSBC about Huawei&#8217;s relationship with another company, putting the bank at risk of violating American sanctions against Iran &#8212; charges that both she and Huawei deny.
READ MORE: <a href="https://globalnews.ca/news/8048971/bc-judge-meng-wanzhou-evidence/" target="_blank">B.C. judge issues reasons for rejecting Meng Wanzhou evidence</a>
In July, Associate Chief Justice Heather Holmes ruled against allowing new evidence in the extradition case because it did not &#8220;expressly&#8221; support Meng&#8217;s claim that the American legal summary of allegations against her were unreasonable.
Meng&#8217;s lawyers told the judge the documents include email chains and spreadsheets that undermine the fraud allegations against her and prove the U.S. misled the court in its summary to Canada.
Meng has been out on bail, living in one of her Vancouver homes since her arrest at Vancouver&#8217;s airport in December 2018.
Her arrest has heated relations between Canada and China, and the arrests of Canadians Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig that followed it are widely seen as retaliation by the Chinese government.

Canadians may have to wait a few days to find out the final results of a <a href="http://globalnews.ca/tag/politics" target="_blank">federal election</a> called in the midst of the <a href="http://globalnews.ca/tag/covid" target="_blank">COVID-19 pandemic</a>, <a href="http://globalnews.ca/tag/canada" target="_blank">Canada</a>&#8216;s chief electoral officer warns.
And they may find themselves voting in unusual places or having to go a bit further afield to cast their ballots.
But Stephane Perrault wants Canadians to know there&#8217;s nothing nefarious about the departures from the norm.

They&#8217;re part of a process Elections Canada has devised to ensure an election can be conducted safely and produce trustworthy results while the country remains in the grip of COVID-19.
&#8220;It&#8217;s important for Canadians to understand that this is part of the plan of deliberate choices that we&#8217;ve made,&#8221; Perrault said in an interview with The Canadian Press.
&#8220;It&#8217;s not an accident, it&#8217;s not a sign of things going wrong but in fact is part of the process as we&#8217;ve designed it in these very unique circumstances of the pandemic.&#8221;
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is widely expected to pull the plug on his minority Liberal government later this month for an election in mid to late September. All parties are gearing up for a campaign, even as chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam is warning that Canada is on the verge of a fourth wave of COVID-19, driven by the more infectious Delta variant.

Should a summer election call occur, Elections Canada is ready for a potentially explosive increase in the number of Canadians who choose to vote by mail during the pandemic _ as many as five million, compared to fewer than 50,000 in the 2019 election.
Perrault said mail-in ballots will not be counted until the day after the election, in order to allow them to be received right up to the last minute before polls close and to give election officials time subsequently to carefully conduct checks to ensure no one who voted by mail also cast a ballot in person.
In a worst-case scenario, he said it may take two to five days to complete the mail-in ballot count.
That could mean the results of close races in some ridings won&#8217;t be known immediately. And, if the national results are tight, it could mean the overall outcome _ which party wins the most seats, whether it has a minority or majority _ could be equally in limbo.
But Perrault said the time lag is necessary to guarantee the integrity of the results.
&#8220;As much as we like early results, I think Canadians expect that we do it right.&#8221;

Mail-in ballots during last fall&#8217;s U.S. election became fodder for Donald Trump&#8217;s unfounded claims that voter fraud robbed him of the presidency. Millions of Republican supporters and conspiracy theorists continue to believe that, undermining the legitimacy of the American electoral process.
But Perrault is hopeful the vast majority of Canadians will continue to have confidence in the electoral process here. Unlike the U.S., he noted there is no &#8220;deep partisan divide&#8221; in Canada over the issue of voting by mail.
&#8220;All parties see the need to have vote by mail, they understand that we have controls in place &#8230; People should not expect what happened in the U.S. to happen in a federal election in Canada.&#8221;
In anticipation of a dramatic increase in demand for mail-in voting, Elections Canada plans to make it possible to apply online for mail-in vote kits. Voters who fear their mail-in ballots won&#8217;t be received on time will be able to drop off their ballots at their local polling place on voting day or have a friend do it for them.

The names of anyone who is issued a mail-in ballot will be crossed out on voting lists as having already voted. Individuals who don&#8217;t receive their mail-in ballot by voting day may swear an oath to that effect and still vote in person.
However, the mail-in ballots of anyone found to have voted in person will not be counted.
Elections Canada still expects the majority of Canadians will choose to vote in person. The agency has stocked up on face masks, sanitizers, single-use pencils and plexiglass partitions to ensure the safety of voters and poll workers.
It has also attempted to line up potential locations for polling stations in advance. Nevertheless, Perrault said he expects some of the usual polling locations, like schools and recreation facilities, will not want to allow large numbers of voters coming into their buildings during the pandemic.
Consequently, he said some voters, especially in small communities, may wind up going to unusual places like hotels or movie theatres to cast their ballots. It may mean some voters will have to travel further to get to their polling place.
&#8220;Some may be suspicious and wonder what&#8217;s going on and it&#8217;s important that they understand that there&#8217;s nothing nefarious going on. We&#8217;re trying to find the best available locations for them,&#8221; he said.

Last summer, Perrault called for legislative changes that would, among other things, allow a pandemic election to be held on two weekend days, rather than the usual Monday.
The Trudeau government did introduce a bill that incorporated some of Perrault&#8217;s recommendations but it was not passed before the House of Commons broke for the summer.
Perrault said his original recommendations were based on the state of the pandemic at the time, when no vaccines were available and he feared that his usual poll workers, who tend to be over 60 years of age, would not put themselves at risk.
The situation now is quite different, with Canada among the world leaders in vaccinations, and Perrault said he&#8217;s confident Elections Canada can deliver a safe, fair pandemic election without legislative changes.
Perrault had also wanted legislative endorsement of his discretionary authority to allow for more flexibility in how ballots are cast at vulnerable long-term care facilities. While he didn&#8217;t get that in legislation, he said he feels he did get all-party endorsement of his plans in any event.
He also called last summer for a long campaign period in order to give Elections Canada more time to implement safety measures and process mail-in ballots.
By law, an election period must be set at a minimum of 36 days and no longer than 50 days but it is up to the prime minister to determine the exact length of the campaign within those parameters.
Perrault said Elections Canada is prepared to run an election, regardless of the length of the campaign. Still, he said &#8220;there is merit to a longer period,&#8221; to give people more time to vote by mail and to give the agency more time to recruit workers and find polling places.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is widely expected to pull the plug on his minority Liberal government later this month for an election in mid to late September.

In the women&#8217;s heptathlon, Georgia Ellenwood is currently ranked eighth in points after placing fifth in the 100-metre hurdles and third in the high jump. She&#8217;ll face two more events before finishing out the day, with three more events to go tomorrow.
Events still to come include Andre De Grasse and Aaron Brown racing for medals in the men&#8217;s 200-metre final, and a chance for Genevieve LaLonde to get on the podium in the women&#8217;s 3,000-metre steeplechase final.
<h2>Canoe Sprint</h2>
Katie Vincent and Laurence Vincent-Lapointe paddled straight into the women&#8217;s single canoe 200-metre semifinal on Thursday after finishing first in their respective heats.
Michelle Russell will appear in the women&#8217;s single kayak 500-metre semifinal on Thursday after coming in third in her quarterfinal, which followed a fourth-place finish in the qualifier.
Nicholas Matveev qualified for Thursday&#8217;s semifinal in the men&#8217;s single kayak 200-metre spring after placing fourth in the qualifier and second in the quarterfinal.
Mark de Jonge wasn&#8217;t as lucky racing in the same event, finishing fourth in the qualifier and third in the quarterfinal.
After coming in last in their qualifying heat, the men&#8217;s double kayak 1,000-metre team of Brian Malfesi and Vincent Jourdenais placed fourth in their quarterfinal, sending them to the non-medal &#8220;petite&#8221; final.

<h2>Cycling Track</h2>
Nick Wammes and Hugo Barrette finished 12th and 15th, respectively, in the men&#8217;s 200-metre flying sprint qualifier &#8212; still good enough to move on to the next round later in the day.
Kelsey Mitchell and Lauriane Genest both won their heats in the first round of the women&#8217;s keirin race, sending them to the quarterfinals on Thursday.
<h2>Golf</h2>
Brooke Henderson and Alena Sharpe had a disappointing start in the first round of women&#8217;s play, tying for 47th place with a 74 score and three above par.
They&#8217;ll be playing three more rounds before medals are decided on Saturday.
<h2>Marathon Swimming</h2>
Kate Sanderson managed an 18th-place finish in the grueling women&#8217;s 10-kilometre swimming final.

An Ontario man who travelled to Syria and called for attacks in Canada has been placed on a <a href="https://globalnews.ca/tag/terrorism-peace-bond/" target="_blank">terrorism peace bond</a> that requires him to wear a GPS monitoring device and undergo de-radicalization.
The 26 restrictions imposed on <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/tag/kevin-omar-mohamed" target="_blank">Kevin Omar Mohamed</a> may be the strongest yet approved by the courts since Canadian police began using peace bonds against extremists drawn to the conflict in Syria.
Although terrorism peace bonds typically remain in effect for a year, Mohamed’s is for four years and bans him not only from owning weapons or using social media, but also from driving.
He must wear a tracking device for two years and is required to take part in counselling and disengagement programs recommended by <a href="https://www.resetproject.ca/about-us/" target="_blank">Project ReSet</a>, a federally-funded program.
&#8220;So far as I recall this is by far the strongest that I have seen,&#8221; said Prof. Michael Nesbitt of the University of Calgary&#8217;s Faculty of Law.
&#8220;Certainly as concerns peace bonds, either generally or the specific terrorism peace bonds, this is towards the strong end of what you would ever expect to see.&#8221;

Terrorism peace bonds are one of the tools used by Canadian authorities to deal with so-called returnees — extremists who left Canada to join terror groups, and then came back.
“They are a means of establishing some control over individuals short of a charge or conviction,” reads a 2016 RCMP document. “Peace bonds do not fully mitigate the risk posed by an individual.”
The terrorism peace bond placed on Mohamed came into effect on May 6. It was not publicly announced at the time, but the details were obtained by Global News from Ontario court documents.
“It’s harsh,” said Mohamed&#8217;s lawyer, Paul Slansky.
The conditions were worked out in discussions with prosecutors, he said.
&#8220;That was the Crown’s position, and my instructions were to settle and not to litigate.”

A 28-year-old resident of Whitby, Ont., Mohamed has already served a prison sentence for terrorism.
In 2014, he travelled to Syria to join the local Al Qaeda affiliate Jabhat Al-Nusrah, and used social media accounts to encourage attacks in the West.
He returned to Canada and <a href="https://globalnews.ca/news/3834323/kevin-omar-mohamed-canadian-terror-suspect-sentenced-jail/" target="_blank">pleaded guilty</a> to participating in the activity of a terrorist group.
The Parole Board of Canada said it was concerned he <a href="https://globalnews.ca/news/4986036/canadian-tried-join-terror-group-syria-released-parole-despite-high-risk-public-safety/" target="_blank">might commit further terrorist offences,</a> but he was released anyway in 2019.
About a year later, police arrested Mohamed <a href="https://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/en/news/2020/o-division-rcmp-integrated-national-security-enforcement-team-arrest-individual-previously" target="_blank">once again</a>, this time for breaching a probation condition that banned him from possessing an electronic device that could access the internet.
The RCMP then asked the Ontario court for a terrorism peace bond, alleging they had uncovered evidence Mohamed could pose a risk to public safety.

				Canadian woman released from ISIS detainee camp in Syria, lawyer says			</a>
		
	
The peace bond imposed on Mohamed bans him from possessing a passport, terrorist literature, explosives, bomb-making materials, firearms and “any knife or cutting tool.”
He is not permitted to use social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook for three years, as well as encrypted messaging applications and electronic devices that can connect to the internet.
He cannot associate or communicate with anyone involved with or supportive of a terrorist group, or who holds &#8220;views that support or advocate violence or violent extremism.&#8221;
“He was released from custody on strict conditions,” said Nathalie Houle, spokesperson for the <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/tag/public-prosecution-service-of-canada" target="_blank">Public Prosecution Service of Canada</a>, which handles terrorism cases.

Mohamed has described himself on social media accounts as a “supporter of international terrorism,” and said, “you shouldn’t live in the lands waging war on Islam unless your [Sic] planning attacks against them.”
Writing under aliases, he said attacking the West was “really beautiful,” and asked “bros in the West” why they weren’t conducting more attacks. He suggested “killing vulnerable soldiers right now.”
When police first arrested him in 2016, he was carrying a large knife. In his locker at the University of Waterloo, police found a four-page note listing the steps required to conduct a terrorist attack.
At his bail hearing, police alleged they had linked him to a <a href="https://globalnews.ca/news/3834325/how-police-hunted-ontario-terror-suspect-isis-anonymous/" target="_blank">social media post</a> sent to an ISIS attack planner about security at the Royal Military College in Kingston.

Canadian and Swedish team officials are asking organizers to push back the scheduled late-morning kickoff time for the women&#8217;s soccer final to avoid the searing heat expected Friday at Tokyo&#8217;s <a href="http://globalnews.ca/tag/olympics" target="_blank">Olympic</a> Stadium.
Canadian Olympic Committee chief sport officer Eric Myles says the COC supports Canada Soccer&#8217;s request for a change.
Swedish team officials say they have discussed the subject with FIFA, the sport&#8217;s governing body, and are hoping the International Olympic Committee will approve the request.

The final is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. local time Friday (10 p.m. eastern time on Thursday). The forecast is calling for mostly sunny conditions and a high of 34 C, with an expected heat index making it feel like it&#8217;s in the low 40s.
It will be Canada&#8217;s first-ever appearance in an Olympic women&#8217;s soccer final.
Messages left with the IOC were not immediately returned.

The International Olympic Committee said on Wednesday it is still waiting for a formal explanation from the Chinese Olympic officials as to why two gold medallists wore badges featuring the head of the country&#8217;s former leader Mao Zedong on the podium at the <a href="http://globalnews.ca/tag/olympics" target="_blank">Tokyo Olympics</a>.
The IOC also said it had suspended its investigation into a gesture on the podium by American silver medallist shot-putter Raven Saunders, following <a href="https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/sports/athletics-saunders-mourns-mother-days-after-winning-shot-put-silver-2021-08-04" target="_blank">the death of the athlete&#8217;s mother.</a>
Earlier this week, <a href="https://globalnews.ca/news/8079122/raven-saunders-gesture-olympics/" target="_blank">the IOC said it was investigating</a> after shot put silver medallist Saunders had raised her arms in an X above her head in Sunday&#8217;s medal ceremony, which she later indicated was an expression of support for the oppressed.

The IOC said that investigation had been suspended for now.
&#8220;We heard the very sad news this morning of the passing of Raven Saunders&#8217; mother,&#8221; Adams said. &#8220;The IOC extends its condolences to Raven and her family. You will understand that given these circumstances the process is fully suspended for the time being.&#8221;
The USOPC said Saunders&#8217; gesture did not breach its rules as it was a &#8220;peaceful expression in support of racial and social justice (that) was respectful of her competitors&#8221;.
The Chinese Olympic Committee has said they will provide a report &#8220;soon&#8221; and assured the IOC there would be no repeat of its athletes wearing the badges.
&#8220;We are in contact with the Chinese Olympic Committee who have assured us that we will receive a full formal answer soon,&#8221; IOC spokesperson Mark Adams said. &#8220;But they have also assured us already that this will not happen again.&#8221;

Cyclists Bao Shanju and Zhong Tianshi wore the badges featuring the head of China&#8217;s former leader during a medal ceremony on Monday, in a potential breach of Olympic rules on the display of political paraphernalia.
The duo wore the badges, commonplace in China for half a century but a potential breach of Rule 50 of the Olympic charter, after retaining the women&#8217;s cycling team sprint title at the Izu Velodrome.
While the IOC last month relaxed Rule 50 to allow gestures, such as taking the knee on the field of play provided athletes do so without disruption and with respect for fellow competitors, it has banned any such gestures on the podium.

Young skaters from Japan and Britain soared to victory in the women&#8217;s park competition at the <a href="http://globalnews.ca/tag/olympics" target="_blank">Tokyo Olympics</a> on Wednesday, with hometown heroes Sakura Yosozumi and Kokona Hiraki cinching gold and silver, while Britain&#8217;s Sky Brown took bronze.
In the gripping finals, Yosozumi, 19, landed two 540s in her impressive first run, earning the highest score of 60.09 to vault to top place.
Hiraki, 12, consistently showed smooth runs throughout Wednesday&#8217;s competition and took second place with her best score of 59.04.

Britain&#8217;s Brown, 13, was the favorite to win the women&#8217;s event but stumbled in her first two runs, with her final display of 540 spins and flip indies failing to vault her to a higher spot on the podium.
Far from the empty swimming pools of 1970s Southern California where this type of skating was born, skateboarding&#8217;s Olympic debut in Tokyo marks a turning point for the sport.
At times, the young skaters looked impossibly small against the giant grey and purple ramps and bowls at the Ariake Urban Sports Park that is emblazoned with the five Olympic rings.
