UK police get more time to question suspect in Liverpool soccer parade collision

(Peter Byrne/Pool photo via AP) A man arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a car hit a crowd of Liverpool soccer fans celebrating their team's Premier League championship title is being held in custody an additional day for questioning, police said Wednesday. Seven people remained hospitalized in stable condition as the number of wounded was increased to nearly 80 people, Merseyside Police said. That number has nearly doubled since the incident on Monday as police learned of additional injuries. Hundreds of thousands of fans had been celebrating Liverpool's record-tying 20th league title when a vehicle was driven down a city center street that was closed to traffic and collided into the crowd, transforming a day of joy into a catastrophe. Police said the unidentified 53-year-old British man in custody is also suspected of driving while unfit through drugs and driving dangerously. It is alleged he dodged a roadblock by following an ambulance that was rushing to treat someone of a suspected heart attack. Police were granted an extension to hold the suspect longer than 48 hours and will have to either charge him with a crime by Thursday evening or release him. Prime Minister Keir Starmer visited Liverpool police headquarters on Wednesday to meet senior officers and the city's mayor. 'The scenes on Monday were just awful, to see how incredible joy at an amazing achievement turned to horror in a moment," he said. © Copyright 2025 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

In recent years, the size of the Canadian government and the government debt burden have grown too large, harming economic growth and living standards. When the government grows too large, it begins taking over functions and resources that are better left to the private sector. Consider this. From 2014 to 2024 , total government spending in Canada (federal, provincial and local) increased from 38.4% as a share of gross domestic product (GDP) to 44.7% — the second-fastest increase among 40 advanced countries worldwide. Consequently, the total size of government in Canada increased from 25th highest to 17th highest (out of the same 40 countries). Again, this means that government now essentially controls a significantly larger share of our economy. Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

During the same 10-year period, Canada's gross government debt (federal, provincial and local) increased from 85.5% (as a share of GDP) to 110.8% — the third-fastest increase among the 40 countries. As such, Canada's debt ranking among the 40 countries increased from 14th highest to 7th highest. Why should Canadians care? A large government debt burden lands squarely on the backs of Canadians. For example, governments and the private sector compete for the limited pool of savings available for borrowing. As governments increase the amount they borrow, fewer savings are available for the private sector. All else equal, this drives up interest costs and makes it more expensive for families to take out a mortgage or businesses to attract investment. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Moreover, debt accumulation today will likely mean higher taxes in the future. Indeed, a 16-year-old Canadian in 2025 will pay an estimated $29,663 over their lifetime in additional personal income taxes (that they otherwise wouldn't pay) due to ballooning federal debt. In other words, by accumulating debt today, the government is disproportionately burdening younger generations with higher taxes in the future. Of course, when talking about Canada's overall debt load, the federal government plays a big role. The Carney government says it will 'build Canada into the strongest economy in the G7' by employing a 'very different approach' to federal fiscal policy than its predecessor. Yet the Carney campaign platform promises to add to Ottawa's mountain of debt (which currently stands at a projected $2.2 trillion) by running huge annual deficits until at least 2028/29, even outspending the Trudeau government's previous plan . This is not a 'very different approach.' The Carney government plans to table its first budget in the fall. As Parliament resumes, let's hope the new prime minister shows real leadership by charting a clear path towards fiscal sustainability and stronger economic growth.

What Does Pool Corporation's (NASDAQ:POOL) Share Price Indicate?
Let's talk about the popular Pool Corporation (NASDAQ:POOL). The company's shares received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the NASDAQGS over the last few months, increasing to US$364 at one point, and dropping to the lows of US$289. Some share price movements can give investors a better opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at a lower price. A question to answer is whether Pool's current trading price of US$302 reflective of the actual value of the large-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let's take a look at Pool's outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change. AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. Pool appears to be overvalued by 22% at the moment, based on our discounted cash flow valuation. The stock is currently priced at US$302 on the market compared to our intrinsic value of $248.40. This means that the buying opportunity has probably disappeared for now. If you like the stock, you may want to keep an eye out for a potential price decline in the future. Given that Pool's share is fairly volatile (i.e. its price movements are magnified relative to the rest of the market) this could mean the price can sink lower, giving us another chance to buy in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility. Check out our latest analysis for Pool Future outlook is an important aspect when you're looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio. Although value investors would argue that it's the intrinsic value relative to the price that matter the most, a more compelling investment thesis would be high growth potential at a cheap price. With profit expected to grow by a double-digit 13% over the next couple of years, the outlook is positive for Pool. It looks like higher cash flow is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation. Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has well and truly priced in POOL's positive outlook, with shares trading above its fair value. However, this brings up another question – is now the right time to sell? If you believe POOL should trade below its current price, selling high and buying it back up again when its price falls towards its real value can be profitable. But before you make this decision, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed. Are you a potential investor? If you've been keeping an eye on POOL for a while, now may not be the best time to enter into the stock. The price has surpassed its true value, which means there's no upside from mispricing. However, the optimistic prospect is encouraging for POOL, which means it's worth diving deeper into other factors in order to take advantage of the next price drop. With this in mind, we wouldn't consider investing in a stock unless we had a thorough understanding of the risks.
