Advertisement AdvertisementAdvertisement AdvertisementFor two do-or-die games in a row, now, Canada has had to overcome a difficult opponent to fight back and win. McDavid, who also set the record for most points in a single Olympics with NHL players involved, once again was brilliant. McDavid assumed the captain’s ‘C’ and was a monster carrying the puck and creating scoring chances all night. Canada did bank on having most of its roster from the 4 Nations Face-Off last year return for this Italian campaign. It allowed Rantanen to absolutely wire the puck right off the draw over Binnington’s shoulder for the opening goal.

Washington — President Trump says he's considering a limited military strike on Iran, as the U.S. military builds up its presence in the region. "I guess I can say I am considering that," the president said when a reporter asked him Friday if he's considering a limited military strike on the country. On Thursday, CBS News reported Mr. Trump had not yet made a final decision about whether to strike, according to sources familiar with the discussions. "And if they join us, that'll be great, if they don't join us, that'll be great, too. Or, if that doesn't happen, I maybe, can understand if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith on Friday defended proposals to limit government benefits to non-permanent residents in the province. During the news conference, Smith pointed to foreign workers, international students and asylum-seekers as examples of temporary residents in the province. 'Really scared for them'Smith said Ontario doesn't provide health benefits to temporary workers. Greene said Smith's desire to limit temporary workers' access to health care is puzzling given that they pay taxes just like citizens and permanent residents.

The home of the Toronto police constable described as the “genesis” of a months-long corruption probe was listed for sale this week while the officer remains behind bars. A suspension without pay takes effect 60 days after notice is given, so Barnhardt could lose his income by April 10. Toronto police would not confirm whether or not any of those officers have asked for a review. Speaking generally about suspending officers without pay, lawyer David Butt said it can be an appropriate tool when it’s used with restraint. Derek McCormick is the sole Toronto officer charged in connection with the corruption probe for whom a suspension without pay hasn’t been requested.

(Canadian Armed Forces/YouTube)For the second quarter (July to September), no summer advertising spending was disclosed. The shifts emerge in the third quarter (October to December), which reports $17 million worth of federal advertising, but re-prioritizes these messages compared to the first quarter. PCO was not allocated any central advertising fund resources in earlier quarters. The federal budget in November added $25 million to increase the annual limit for its central advertising fund in 2025-26. The November budget document lays out an additional $80 million for the central advertising fund for the next four fiscal years, suggesting an increased focus on paid advertising messages in the Carney government's communications strategy stretching into 2030.

Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston is shaking up the Natural Resources Department in what an internal memo describes as “a deliberate step” to align with the government’s priority of finding new ways to boost revenues. The changes were outlined by Natural Resources deputy minister Sandra McKenzie on Thursday in an internal email obtained by CBC News. The source said the changes announced Thursday at Natural Resources appear intended to make it easier for development projects to proceed. Lancaster said “it’s getting increasingly frustrating” that the point must be made that protecting biodiversity and conservation is not contradictory to fostering economic development. NDP natural resources critic Kendra Coombes said the changes put the premier's "political agenda ahead of safeguarding our parks, coastlines and wildlife for future generations."

Wilson marginally redeemed himself when he drew a tripping penalty, giving Canada a chance to tie things up on the power play. With just over six minutes to go, Anton Lundell got his stick up on Florida Panthers teammate Anton Lundell, giving Canada another power play opportunity.
