The Liberal Party of Canada is under fire after their campaign song recorded in French was poorly translated.

According to CTV News, the party called on Canadian band The Strumbellas to use their song 'One Hand Up' during the election campaign. The group translated and sang the song in French.

Many online commenters pointed out on social media that the song - whose title is `Une Main haute' in French - was incomprehensible.

A Liberal spokesperson says the song will be re-recorded.

The two students, whose identities have yet to be made public, died at the scene and 17 others were transported to the hospital for injuries.

University of Victoria counsellors and other staff met with students and their families Saturday afternoon to provide support.

Democratic presidential candidates are demanding U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh be impeached after a New York Times report on Saturday revealed new information about sexual misconduct allegations against him.

The New York Times piece, which is drawn from an upcoming book written by the newspaper's reporters, said it was able to corroborate an allegation by former classmate Deborah Ramirez.

Presidential candidates Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, and Beto O’Rourke have all condemned Kavanaugh’s actions, and have called for his impeachment.

At the time of recording, Kavanaugh has not given a comment to the Times on the allegations.
