Alphonso Davies made history with his country’s first-ever World Cup goal last time out, but John Herdman’s team then subsided to a 4-1 defeat against an impressive Croatia.

Here’s the latest team news as the preparation for 2026 starts in earnest. MORE: Complete Group F World Cup schedule...

Thousands of protesters converged on Parliament Hill in Ottawa over the weekend, joined by truckers who had traveled across Canada as part of a “Freedom Convoy.” Although initially organized to oppose vaccine mandates for truck drivers crossing the Canada-U.S. border, it has grown in recent days into a movement against COVID-19 restrictions in general, and Justin Trudeau’s government. The demonstration in Ottawa on Saturday saw truckers block the streets around Canada’s parliament building....

The incident occurred shortly after Lightning goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped a shot on goal by Montreal’s Artturi Lehkonen, with Tampa up 4-1; Gallagher attempted to cross-check Sergachev, but the latter’s teammate Blake Coleman skated in from behind, grabbing Gallagher’s head and pulling his helmet off his head. Following that, Sergachev grabbed Gallagher, eventually wrestling him to the ground. Unfortunately for the Canadiens right wing, he hit the ice with his head, causing blood to pour profusely down his face (warning: potentially disturbing content):...

“Canceling student loans is less stimulative per dollar than about almost anything we’ve enacted so far for COVID relief,” said Marc Goldwein, the senior vice president and senior policy director for the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. The public policy group reported on Wednesday that much of the legislation passed by Congress in response to the pandemic—including small-business aid, a federal unemployment benefit and state and local governmental aid—was a better stimulus than eliminating outstanding student debt....

In a viral Reddit post, u/Calamity4M, she wrote she was with her 65-year-old mom who has access to disabled parking. But, on this occasion, there were only expectant mother spots left. The post has received more than 8,500 upvotes and 1,900 people have commented. The 41-year-old woman told Newsweek that she was left feeling “shaken and upset” when a stranger “called” her out for parking in the family space and threatened to call the mall security....

At the sound of the final bell, Alvarez won by majority decision, with judges seeing the bout 114-114, 115-113 and 115-113 in scores that could have easily been declared in favor of Golovkin — or even another draw like their original fight. Sporting News had it scored 116-112 for Golovkin. With the victory, Alvarez was crowned the new middleweight champion of the world, ending GGG’s stronghold title reign. That, and Alvarez cemented his fight legacy after a six-month suspension for a pair of failed drug tests in February....

Canelo (52-1-2, 35 KOs) will take on the Russian Kovalev (34-3-1, 29 KOs), who is coming off a TKO victory of Anthony Yarde in August.

WBC, WBA (Super) and The Ring champion Alvarez (56-1-2, 38 KOs) added Saunders’ WBO title to his collection with a bruising performance in front of 73,126 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, a record crowd for an indoor boxing event in the United States. The victory wasn’t easy, however. The slick-boxing Saunders gave Canelo trouble with his movement and jab as his Mexican opponent was clearly in pursuit of a knockout, but without the power to keep Canelo off him, he ended up absorbing huge power shots throughout the fight....

National polling from my organization, the Coalition for Cannabis Policy, Education, and Regulation (CPEAR), shows that 70% of voters are in favor of federal cannabis reform. Yet we lack clear, established best practices around some of the most pressing issues facing cannabis, such as its effect on users’ mental health — a fact that I believe has curtailed efforts for regulation.With that in mind, a crucial next step is to have a serious national conversation about how best to regulate cannabis....

With the Canucks holding a two-goal advantage over the Senators, Vanek corralled the loose puck and peeled ahead of the Ottawa defense to engage in a one-on-one battle with goaltender Craig Anderson. Vanek didn’t contemplate on if he was going to try a fancy move to achieve his milestone, instead the 33-year-old relied on a precise slap shot. As Vanek rang his shot off the post, it was official. Vanek cracked the 700-point mark....

It started off poorly with the team going 9-15-2 out of the gate, resulting in the firing of head coach Travis Green and GM Jim Benning on Dec. 6. Then, with Bruce Boudreau coming in as the new coach, the team found its footing, immediately going on a seven-game winning streak with Boudreau at the helm. The team slipped back to its losing way in 2022, floating right outside of the playoff picture....

The silence, though, was deafening. And on Thursday, when Virginia Sen. John Warner, one of the old bulls, gave his blessing to a challenge to Lott from Sen. Bill Frist, the end had come. This morning, Lott fell on his sword, announcing that he would step aside as the incoming majority leader, though he will not resign from his seat. To the GOP, Frist at the helm of the Senate is a dream ending to the Lott nightmare....

Paul Pelosi was attacked at the couple’s San Francisco home Friday, with David DePape, 42, charged in the violent home invasion. Pelosi sustained multiple injuries including a fractured skull. USCP explained in a release on Wednesday that a video feed of the home was not being monitored during the break-in because Nancy Pelosi wasn’t home. The agency said that it has access to around 1,800 cameras that can be employed at a central command center at “any time,” including “cameras that are used to actively monitor the Speaker’s San Francisco residence....

Ryan’s statements that she would not be punished for her role in the attack on the Capitol building also demonstrated that she doesn’t understand the gravity of her crime, prosecutors said. Though Ryan, a real estate agent, wasn’t in danger of seeing more serious felony charges, U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper said that she was still responsible for her role in an attack that led to five deaths and permanently scarred some government institutions....

“Words can’t describe the surprise I was given when one of our players along with head coach Adam Oates presented to me the Upper Deck Young Guns blow-up cards before our team meeting with my image on them,” he told Upper Deck's website. “As a card avid card collector my entire life, this was truly a dream come true.
