Additionally, many feeds (especially Google News-proxied sources like CNN, NYT, WSJ, WaPo) can take 10-20+ hours to index new articles.

Dong Guangping, a Chinese political dissident, arrived in Toronto on an Air Canada flight on June 27, 2026, after being detained by South Korea's coast guard in May while aboard a 3.3-metre inflatable boat. His friend and Chinese Canadian activist Sheng Xue announced his arrival on X and confirmed he reunited with his wife and daughters already resettled in Canada.
