πCanadian police say that ten people have been killed and at least 15 others injured in two remote communities in Saskatchewan on Sunday. "We have located ten deceased individuals in 13 locations in the community of James Smith Cree Nation and Weldon, Saskatchewan," Royal Canadian Mounted Police Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore told a news conference.
"Several additional victims have been injured, 15 of which at this point have been transported to various hospitals," she added.
The James Smith First Nation is an indigenous community north of Melfort, Saskatchewan. The community, with a population of 2,500, declared a local emergency, while many Saskatchewan residents were urged to seek shelter locally. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called a mass stabbing "horrific and heartbreaking." "I'm thinking of those who have lost a loved one and those who were injured," he tweeted.

πThe former vice president said last month that he would give "due consideration" to any formal invitation to testify before the House select committee investigating the events of January 6, 2021, at the US Capitol.
Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin, a Democrat on the House select committee investigating the Capitol riot, believes Mike Pence will testify before the January 6 panel.
Pence defied Donald Trump during the 2020 presidential election and confirmed then President-elect Joe Biden as the winner, which is said to have been a turning point in their relationship. Pence claimed that Trump was wrong to believe that a vice president had the power to overturn the election's outcome.

π’Chileans rejected a proposal for a new constitution to replace the one adopted during Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship. With 98.43% of the votes processed, the new, left-leaning constitution was supported only by 38.10%, while 61.90% of Chilean citizens voted against the draft text. The constitution was drafted after political and social unrest swept Chile in 2019.
Unlike previous elections, the vote is mandatory for more than 15 million eligible voters. The dwindling support for the new law could at least partly be blamed on the prominence given to Chile's Indigenous population, which makes up almost 13% of the country's 19 million people. It offers them greater autonomy, particularly on judicial issues.
There are also concerns that it will legalize abortion in a country where half of the population is Roman Catholic. In addition, it puts the environment on center stage in a country that is the world's top copper producer.
