The Canadians won back-to-back bronze medals at the London Olympics in 2012 and in Rio de Janeiro four years later, when Sweden finished runners-up to Germany. Both teams won their semifinals by the slimmest of margins, with Sweden scraping past Australia courtesy of Fridolina Rolfö’s goal, while Jessie Fleming’s penalty secured a 1-0 over the U.S. Women’s National Team and catapulted Canada to its first women’s soccer Olympic final....

Bedard made more history Saturday night, as his four assists pushed his career World Juniors point total to 31 to tie Eric Lindros’ record for most points ever by a Canadian at the tournament In addition, he also tied Dale McCourt and Brayden Schenn for the most points ever by a Canadian at a single tournament, as his 2023 points total is now up to 18. Brennan Othmann scored twice for the Canadians and Thomas Milic was sensational in net, making 22 saves in the win....

Trudeau’s office has confirmed that the prime minister and the Canadian delegation will quarantine in an Ottawa hotel once he arrives from his first international trip since the pandemic began, and will remain there until his PCR test comes back negative. Trudeau flew out of the nation’s capital of Ottawa on Thursday; Canadian prime ministers do not fly commercial due to security reasons. However, Ottawa is not among the Canadian cities that accept international flights during the coronavirus pandemic....

In a tweet on Friday, Owens said that the U.S. should send troops to its neighboring country in response to how the Canadian prime minister has been dealing with the ongoing vaccine mandates protests. Owens also seemed to suggest that the situation in Canada should also be the U.S.’s biggest foreign policy issue, ahead of concerns that Russia is planning on invading Ukraine. “STOP talking about Russia. Send American troops to Canada to deal with the tyrannical reign of Justin Trudeau Castro,” Owens tweeted....

“I received about 20 emails last night from people telling me that they went to vote for Larry Elder only to learn that they had already voted,” Owens tweeted on Monday alongside a video from a news broadcast which reported the confusion was due to a since-resolved equipment issue. “This needs to be investigated. It seems like the fix is in,” the conservative political commentator added. Owens shared a 47-second clip taken from a KLTA5 news report over the weekend that interviewed a handful of self-identified Republican California residents who claimed they had issues with their ballots for the September 14 election....

Balenciaga has faced criticism over the past several days regarding images shown on its website that included toddlers holding the company’s teddy bear handbags. The stuffed toys appeared to be dressed in bondage gear, including fishnet shirts and studded leather harnesses and collars. On Sunday, reality TV star and businesswoman Kardashian, 42, took to Twitter to say she was “disgusted” and “shaken” by the controversial pictures. “I have been quiet for the past few days, not because I haven’t been disgusted and outraged by the recent Balenciaga campaigns, but because I wanted an opportunity to speak to its team to understand for myself how this could have happened,” she began the Twitter thread....

Join DAZN to watch Canelo-Jacobs and 100+ fight nights a year Alvarez (51-1-2) has only lost one fight in his career — to Floyd Mayweather in 2013 — and is the heavy betting favorite against Jacobs. In addition, Alvarez has won four fights via knockout since 2015 and has registered a win and a draw against arch-rival Gennady Golovkin. Despite Alvarez’s continued success, Jacobs is no slouch and shouldn’t be counted out....

Mirrorless cameras are the new standard for demanding professional photographers. That’s the message from Canon, with its new EOS R3. Even Nikon, which was slow to catch on to the wonders of mirrorless, announced its Z9 last month. Until now, the most capable and flexible cameras have been DSLRs. But with the arrival of these top-end mirrorless machines, the end of the SLR is near. “With the EOS R3 they set to convince everyone, even sports and nature photographers, that mirrorless cameras are up to par with DSLRs for any use,” photographer and camera reviewer Andrea Nepori told Lifewire via direct message....

“It’s how I scored my first NHL goal, under review. I’ve been there multiple times before,” Pearson said Tuesday after yet another reviewed goal helped the Vancouver Canucks to a 4-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks. Martin Jones had just stopped a shot by Vancouver’s Loui Eriksson midway through the third period when Pearson stepped in to fight for the rebound, knocking the puck free and poking it into the back of the net for his second of the night....

Headlining Capcom’s Tokyo Game Show offerings is Resident Evil 7, which Capcom has pushed at both E3 and gamescom. Resident Evil 7’s gamescom trailer left some fans confused as to what the final game will be like, so here’s hoping its presence at TGS brings with it some answers, like a plot synopsis and the identity of the main character. Along with Resident Evil 7, Capcom is also bringing two Monster Hunter games to Tokyo Game Show this year....

The Avalanche have lost 10 of their past 12 games and are the NHL’s worst team since Dec. 7. Colorado is 5-15-4 in that time, going from tied for the most points in the Western Conference to out of a playoff position. Semyon Varlamov stopped 38 shots, but gave up rebounds and loose pucks all night. Varlamov couldn’t control power-play shots from former Capitals teammate and countryman Alex Ovechkin, allowing Kuznetsov to score his first goal on a tap-in and getting a break on an early whistle on what would have been a goal by Nicklas Backstrom....

The timing couldn’t be better. Hispanic voting power was on every Democratic presidential contender’s mind as they assembled in Albuquerque on Thursday evening for the first of six debates organized by the Democratic National Committee. It’s no accident that the DNC chose New Mexico to kick off the campaign season. Once a solidly Republican state, it is now a swing state because of its rapidly growing Hispanic population. Its new Democratic governor, Bill Richardson, who served in the Clinton administration as ambassador to the United Nations and as Energy secretary, is on everybody’s short list as a potential vice president–in large part because he is Hispanic....

Reporters wanted to know why he made the film. “Aren’t you preaching to the choir?” one asked, noting the decidedly Democratic leanings of the crowd. (One of the film’s distributors joked at the screening that the only Republicans in the audience would be undercover agents from the Republican National Committee.) Moore recalled the question as he took the stage to welcome the audience. “First of all, it’s good to give the choir something to sing,” he said....

Television images canvassing Republican headquarters on election night showed so few black faces that a casual viewer could easily assume the GOP is a white-people’s party. Conversely, there is no Democratic Party without an energized black base, a fact of political life that too many Democrats would rather not confront. Race drove last weekend’s runoff election in Louisiana. GOP flyers distributed in black areas sought to depress turnout with the rumor, “If the weather’s bad, don’t worry, you can vote on Tuesday....

There is another chapter to Kerry’s war history that Republicans are examining, and that is his leadership in 1971 of Vietnam Veterans Against the War. Some GOP strategists envision television ads linking Kerry with Jane Fonda in order to undermine his credentials as a decorated war veteran. Highlighting Kerry’s antiwar activism is a risky strategy for the Republicans. To quote Kerry, who quotes the president: “Bring it on.” If the election turns into a debate over war records, Bush can’t win....

“Russell’s at a high level,” coach Scott Brooks said. “But he’s been playing this way for a long time, for a lot of years, and every year, like all the special players do, they come back a little bit better.” True enough. That could have been said about Westbrook at any point this season. But what Brooks could not have known then was that Westbrook was about to uncork a run, now in its second month, that would elevate that level well beyond reasonable expectations — and into territory that not only pushes Westbrook’s status as an elite player, but could have a dramatic impact on the future of the franchise....

With his team set to make its only appearance in prime time this season with a home date against Kansas City on Thursday night, interim Oakland coach Tony Sparano had no choice but to switch from the team’s normal routine. Instead of an afternoon of meetings and rehab Monday, the Raiders went through a one-hour walkthrough under the lights at the team’s facility not far from the Oakland Coliseum....

Open Settings > Passwords & Accounts > iCloud Account > Keychain > iCloud Keychain. Now if this iCloud keychain is turned off, your password is setting its foot in local memory. But if you toggle it on, these passwords will save in iCloud....
