Deadly Shipwreck Off Libya Leaves Dozens Missing

Members of the Libyan Red Crescent carry the body of an illegal migrant in a bag after it was found on the beach. A migrant boat attempting the dangerous central Mediterranean crossing has capsized off the coast of Libya, leaving 53 people dead or missing. The vessel, which departed from the coastal city of Al‑Zawiya, overturned only hours into its journey. Authorities reported that 55 people were on board. Only two survivors—both women from Nigeria—were rescued and brought back to shore. They described losing close family members in the chaos, underscoring the human toll behind the statistics. The tragedy highlights the persistent dangers faced by migrants fleeing conflict, poverty, and instability in hopes of reaching Europe. Despite repeated warnings from humanitarian groups, the central Mediterranean remains one of the world’s deadliest migration routes, with overcrowded boats and ruthless smuggling networks contributing to frequent disasters at sea.

Hudson's Bay: A Canadian Legacy Faces Major Downsizing


Hudson’s Bay Company, a cornerstone of Canadian retail history, is set to undergo a significant transformation. Following a court decision, the company will retain only six stores across Ontario and Quebec, including flagship locations in downtown Toronto and Montreal. Meanwhile, liquidation sales for the remaining 74 stores will commence on March 24, 2025, with closures expected by June.

This decision comes after years of financial struggles and shifting consumer habits that have challenged traditional brick-and-mortar retailers. The retained stores represent a glimmer of hope for the 354-year-old institution, but the closures mark the end of an era for many communities across Canada.

As the liquidation process begins, shoppers will have a final opportunity to visit these iconic stores and purchase merchandise at discounted prices. The company’s future remains uncertain, but its impact on Canadian history and retail culture is undeniable.
