A climate lawsuit brought by seven young activists will proceed in Ontario after Canada’s Supreme Court declined to hear the Ford government’s appeal. 

The decision allows the case to proceed in Ontario’s Superior Court for a full hearing that could redefine governments’ legal obligations to combat climate change under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

WARREN, Mich. (AP) — Bernie Sanders is standing alone on the back of a pickup truck shouting into a bullhorn.

He’s facing several hundred ecstatic voters huddled outside a suburban Detroit high school — the group that did not fit inside the high school’s gym or two overflow rooms. The crowd screams in delight when he tells them that a combined total of 9,000 people had shown up for the rally.
