Two Canadian sisters have been found dead in their hotel room in Thailand.

The women Audrey and Noemi Belanger...both in their 20's... checked into the hotel near Phuket on Tuesday and went out that night.

They reportedly stayed in their room all day Wednesday and were not seen at all after that.

Horwath calls for budget meeting before vote

Posted By: Justine Lewkowicz · 6/16/2012 10:42:00 AM

NDP leader Andrea Horwath says that if her two counterparts don't want an election this year... they need to meet and work things out before Wednesday's budget vote... she wants to do so this weekend.

Horwath held a news conference this past hour reaching out to premier Dalton McGuinty and PC leader Tim Hudak.

"What I'm doing is opening the door to the conversation. I think it's incumbent upon all of us to sit down and be serious in getting through this next hurdle, and getting to a budget," Horwath said.

She says the people of Ontario don't want an expensive election right now. A poll on our website, meanwhile, says that 76 per cent of you do want an election.

Wallenda successfully crosses over Niagara Falls

Posted By: Justine Lewkowicz · 6/16/2012 5:28:00 AM

Nik Wallenda has entered the history books by going where no one has gone before -- over Niagara Falls on a tightrope.
   
Starting out from the American side, placing one very careful step after the next along the two-inch wide steel cable, Wallenda made his astonishing feat appear almost routine.
   
Battling winds and soaking spray from the thundering waters 60 metres below, Wallenda still calmly answered questions interviewers
asked into his ear piece.
   
He talked about the breath taking view from his singular vantage point.
   
Others have crossed the water on tightropes, but over the gorge downstream and not for more than 100 years.
   
``I'm so blessed to be in the position I am,'' he said, ``to be the first person to be right here and to be the first person in the world who will ever be right here.''

Councillor Doug Ford Says He Would Run if a Provincial Election is Called

Posted By: David Woodard · 6/16/2012 4:23:00 AM

Councillor Doug Ford says that if a provincial election is coming our way he will run provincially in his riding of Etobicoke North.

Premier Dalton McGuinty is threatening to take Ontarians back to the polls if the NDP doesn't vote in favour of the $300 Million Liberal Budget.

Doug Ford turned down an offer from the provincial Tories before the last election to run in the riding.

He said at the time his brother (Mayor Rob Ford) needed his help to run Toronto.

Currently the MPP for the riding is Liberal Shafiq Qaadri.
