Among other issues, they discussed government subsidies for Canada’s struggling media sector. Concerns about the reliability and independence of journalists producing government-funded news have been raised by some Canadians amid increased funding for Canadian news media. Following the Canadian government’s proposed ramifications, which required large tech companies such as Meta to pay to distribute Canadian news media content on their platforms, Meta ultimately restricted access to Canadian news outlets on Facebook and Instagram.

“This is my first international freestyle mixed relay so it was a cool experience,” said Knox, 23. That’s faster than Knox has ever been in the 100 free, although mixed relay times do not officially count as personal bests. I’m trying to savour each relay with my teammates,” said the two-time Olympian, who moved Canada into fourth. “I think it’s just important to stay in your own lane and I think that’s what I did. The 24-year-old was part of Canada’s bronze medal in the women’s 4×100-m medley relay at last year’s worlds in Fukuoka, which traditionally falls on the final day.

Pointing the finger at hockey as uniquely responsible for the alleged sexual assault is ignorant and irresponsible. News that the slow-motion prosecution of Canadian junior hockey players for an alleged sexual assault in 2018 has fulfilled their fever dreams about the corruption of our national sport. And now, the carefully constructed narrative of players, Hockey Canada, the NHL and the police will be examined once more. If you want to know how hard it is to prosecute multiple sexual charges, just consult the Jian Ghomeshi trial. Former MLB pitcher Trevor Bauer faced sexual assault charges from an alleged assault at his home.
