\"\"The app allows drivers to keep track of snowplowing and road conditions within the province. The app provides images from more than 600 cameras while providing up-to-date highway information on construction, collisions and road closures. It was released to the trucking industry earlier this year.<\/p>\n

It was recently expanded to include new features such as the ability to track snowplows on provincial roads and highways and the ability to see whether those roads are snow-covered or bare, as well as weather warnings from Environment Canada about potentially nasty conditions. It also provides up-to-date information about rest stops across the province.<\/p>\n

\"\"A wealthy Chinese pigeon racing fan paid a record price of $1.9 million for a Belgian-bred bird.<\/p>\n

During a frantic last half hour Sunday at the end of a two-week auction, two Chinese bidders \u2014 operating under the pseudonyms Super Duper and Hitman \u2014 drove up the price.<\/p>\n

A successful Belgian breeder (Gaston Van de Wouwer) retired at 76 and his son had too busy a professional life to continue in the pigeon business so all 445 birds were put on auction.<\/p>\n
