PARIS—A new and highly virulent outbreak of malicious data-scrambling software appears to be causing mass disruption across Europe, hitting Ukraine especially hard.
Company and government officials reported serious intrusions at the Ukrainian power grid, banks and government offices, where one senior official posted a photo of a darkened computer screen and the words, “the whole network is down.” Ukraine’s prime minister said the attack was unprecedented but that “vital systems haven’t been affected.”
Russia’s Rosneft oil company also reported falling victim to hacking, as did Danish shipping giant A.P. Moller-Maersk.
“We are talking about a cyberattack,” said Anders Rosendahl, a spokesman for the Copenhagen-based group. “It has affected all branches of our business, at home and abroad.”

NEW YORK—U.S. President Donald Trump used the resignations of three CNN journalists involved in a retracted Russia-related story to resume his attack on the network’s credibility Tuesday.
The story was about a supposed investigation into a pre-inaugural meeting between a Trump associate and the head of a Russian investment fund. CNN accepted the journalists’ resignations Monday.
Trump wrote in a Tuesday morning tweet, “Wow, CNN had to retract big story on ‘Russia,’ with 3 employees forced to resign. What about all the other phoney stories they do? FAKE NEWS!”

WASHINGTON—A deep national revulsion toward President Donald Trump has sent Canadians’ opinions of the United States plummeting to a level of antipathy never before seen in the 35 years a pollster has been asking.
A major Pew Research survey released on Monday found that just 43 per cent of Canadians hold a favourable view of the U.S., 51 per cent an unfavourable view.
That is a steep decline since last year, the final year of Democrat Barack Obama’s presidency, when Pew found 65 per cent of Canadians favourably disposed to the U.S. And it is lower than even the low point of the unpopular presidency of Republican George W. Bush, when 55 per cent of Canadians were favourable.
At no time since at least the early 1980s, and likely much earlier, has a majority of Canadians held a negative view of our neighbour and ally.

Beasley’s next stop is Brampton, Ontario.
Brampton’s Chief Administrative Officer Harry Schlange has tasked Beasley to make the city “future-ready.” It’s a new idea that captures the burgeoning community’s desperate desire to transform their home into a world-leading city—desperate because Brampton’s population is set to grow from 600,000 to close to one million in the next 20 to 25 years.
In this rapidly growing suburb, Beasley, who has been retained as an advisor to assist the city’s planning department, sees potential to dream big. Brampton has never had a master plan, so there is an opportunity to reinvent city centres and neighbourhood developments. More importantly, Brampton has one of

WASHINGTON—Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff and President Donald Trump don’t agree on much about Russia’s meddling in the 2016 U.S. elections, but they agree on this: President Barack Obama should have done more to stop Moscow from interfering.
Obama made a “very serious mistake” in not doing more about Russia’s intervention in the presidential election campaign, Schiff, the top-ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said Sunday.
“The administration needed to call out Russia earlier, and needed to act to deter and punish Russia earlier,” Schiff said on CNN’s State of the Union. “I think the Obama administration should have done more when it became clear that not only was Russia intervening, but it was being directed at the highest levels of the Kremlin.”

The myth: The beaver etched on our five-cent coin can’t possibly compete with more majestic symbols, such as Britain’s lion or the U.S. bald eagle. But the rodent doesn’t just represent an idea of strength and fierceness — it played a role in the founding of Canada.
Beaver pelts hang from racks in the cavernous warehouse of North American Fur Auctions in northwest Toronto, one of only a few places in the world where wild fur is still sold to the highest bidder.
Nearby are neat rows of lynx and bobcat skins from the southern U.S., as well as farmed mink, all divided into sample lots so bidders can examine the quality of the fur. A slightly sour smell wafts off the dried unprocessed skins.
A grader pulls a bundle of red-tinged beaver pelts onto a table for inspection, explaining how the fur has been burned by urine, which can happen after a winter of beavers crammed one on top of the other in their lodge.

He seemed to redefine what was humanly possible in 1988 when he exploded out of the blocks and crossed the line in 9.79 seconds to win the 100-metre sprint at the Seoul Olympics.
Ben Johnson was so far ahead he had to glance back at his American rival Carl Lewis when he raised his right arm in the air to indicate that he was No. 1.
And the 26-year-old Canadian was — for two days — until his lab tests came back positive for anabolic steroids and he was stripped of his Olympic gold medal and world-record time.

U.S. president Donald Trump on Saturday called out Obama administration officials for not taking stronger actions against Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election, contradicting his past statements and suggesting without proof that they were trying to help Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
His tweets came after the Washington Post revealed Friday that the Obama White House had received reports as early as August 2016 regarding Russian President Vladimir Putin’s direct involvement in the cyber campaign with instructions to defeat or damage Clinton and help to elect Trump, according to “sourcing deep inside the Russian government.”
The Obama administration would not publicly say Russia was attempting to interfere with the election until Oct. 7, and the news of Putin’s attempts to aid Trump would not surface until after the election.
Trump has long disputed that the Russians interfered with the election,
CHICAGO—Maple Leafs assistant general manager Mark Hunter ran his third draft and if there was a theme, it was “a big, strong guy.” The Leafs took two six-foot-six defenceman on Saturday — and nobody under six-feet tall — on the second and final day of the 2017 NHL draft.
Counting Timothy Liljegren, chosen in Friday’s first round, the Leafs took four defencemen with their seven picks.
“We took who we thought was the best player at the moment. It seemed like there was more defence in the draft this year,” Hunter said. “We filled some holes. Now it’s time for our development department to take over and help make these young men better.”
Here’s how Saturday’s picks size up and what Hunter likes about them.

WASHINGTON—U.S. President Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Iowa on Wednesday. It was just like old times.
He insulted Hillary Clinton. He insulted Chicago. He attributed a sensational claim to an unnamed buddy of his.
He floated a confusing proposal, promising to change welfare law to something that sounds identical to current welfare law. He executed a dizzying shift in rhetoric, applauding himself for appointing a former Goldman Sachs executive after railing against Goldman Sachs. And he revealed an unbaked plan — to turn his hypothetical giant wall on the Mexican border into a power-generating “solar wall” that would reduce the hypothetical reimbursement bill he still insists he will be sending to Mexico.
More than anything, though, he made things up.
Trump averages two false claims a day as president. When he was on the campaign trail, giving longer and less scripted speeches, he averaged more than 15 per day.
