The unions representing faculty and support staff at Fleming College and St. Lawrence College say the decision to merge the two colleges blindsided workers and is the result of the province’s failure to properly invest in post-secondary education.

Dayna Smockum, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Colleges and Universities, says the OPSEU is “misguided” and that the decision by…

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Rory McIlroy joined more elite company Sunday at the Masters when he pulled away with a pair of birdies around Amen Corner and, as usual, saved a little drama for the end before taking his place in Augusta National history as only the fourth back-to-back champion. In a final round where three players had a two-shot lead, McIlroy seized control for good with a bold shot over Rae’s Creek to 7 feet for birdie on the par-3 12th.
