Italy has been struck by another earthquake overnight but it doesn’t appear to have been too serious. There was some panic as reported here by Euronews. In Mexico City, the Day of the Dead has dawned Saturday with events portraying the depiction of this holiday in the James Bond movie Spectre.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has signed the CETA trade deal with the European Union in a ceremony conducted almost entirely in French and with slant toward the French-speaking Belgian district of Wallonia. It has threatened to refuse to sign but in the end arm-twisted by the rest of Belgium and the EU into agreement. Trudeau arrived in Brussels to meet the European leaders amid questions from the reporter as to whether he was angry with the Walloons. Trudeau just smiled. The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement must still obtain ratification but this seems routine. The prime minister was delayed in leaving Ottawa by aircraft maintenance matters but arrived Sunday in good time for the signing.

Few dog lovers in the parade of elegant canines on Bayview Ave. would let a pet get so overweight but now Bobby the border collie has been taken in hand. The video tells a sad tale of his Winnipeg owner’s inability to keep the young dog trim. Right now he sits at 123 pounds. Manitoba Underdogs healthy plan is to get Bobby down to a nice 60 pounds.

Police say there is video showing the car that sank off Cherry Street bridge speeding north on Cherry and breaching the guardrail. It is a silver Toyota Corolla, say police, and it was travelling much faster than the 50 km/h speed limit. A woman, 54, died in the occurrence and if she drowned rather than sustained a fatal impact, it was a horrifying death. Police say the occupant of the car who was still conscious might sit in the vehicle for five minutes or more before being inundated. A cyclist who witnessed the crash tried to rescue the occupant but could not. It is not clear whether the crash was accidental or intentional.
