NEW YORK –

Donald Trump’s four years in the White House, even on some of the most consequential days of his presidency, were punctuated by the spectacle and attempts at showmanship he cultivated from years as a tabloid fixture and reality star.

The former president’s history-making appearance Tuesday as a criminal defendant in a Florida federal court was no different.

The former commander in chief, accused of being careless with some of the country’s most sensitive secrets and obstructing authorities as they tried to recover critical documents, pleaded not guilty to 37 charges. But he treated the day like a

Tyler Shandro is accused of bringing disrepute to the legal profession following an altercation at a Calgary doctor’s home, obtaining the private cellphone numbers to contact two doctors outside of business hours, and responding to a message to his wife from a member of the public and threatening to refer that individuals to the authorities.

People managers are constantly dealing with ever evolving deadlines, targets and expectations. An area of constant concern is people and especially when it comes to courageous or difficult conversations. If an employee is performing poorly, engaging with misconduct or just doing inappropriate behavior, the line between what is reasonable management action versus workplace bullying can seem to be blurred.

The latest split in the Anglican Church comes after recent comments by the Archbishop of Canterbury on Uganda’s new law.

The chair of a conservative group of Anglican church leaders on Wednesday accused the church’s global head of perpetuating colonialism with his criticism of one of the world’s harshest anti-LGBTQ laws, introduced by Uganda last month.

The new legislation imposes the death penalty for certain same-sex acts and a 20-year prison sentence for “promoting” homosexuality.

It’s long been Republican orthodoxy that no matter what Donald Trump says, the GOP base will stick with him. After his last indictment in New York, the party rallied around him.

But this time, privately, Republicans aren’t so sure.

An operative in Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ orbit, who requested anonymity to speak candidly without approval from higher-ups, said that “from an objective standpoint,” the federal charges Trump faces for his post-presidency handling of classified documents are far more serious than the earlier ones around hush money payments before the 2016 election.

The day before Vancouver’s first urgent and primary care center opened in 2018, the provincial government held a news conference celebrating the facility as a step toward improving the quality of health-care in the city.

“We want people to get the care they need in their community,” Health Minister Adrian Dix said that Sunday.

Less than five years later, that relationship has soured.

The clinic is deep into a legal battle that it says has ultimately forced doctors to stop providing patients with ultrasounds, X-rays and other critical diagnostic tests, despite having the equipment to do so in-house.

“Unfortunately, when
