MILAN — Bring on the elimination games.

An epic mismatch on paper proved to be just that on the ice Sunday afternoon, as Canada routed France 10-2 to finish round-robin play with a perfect 3-0 record.

File this one under the category of “necessary evil.”

Unfortunately for France, Canada had every incentive not only to win, but to fill the net as much as possible, based on the tie-breaking procedures used by the International Ice Hockey Federation at the Winter Olympics. And so the star-studded squad kept coming, foot firmly on the gas even when the final result was crystal clear.

Trudeau's climate file gets cabinet shakeup

Mia Rabson, The Canadian Press 4 minute read Tuesday, Oct. 26, 2021

OTTAWA - Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is sending a signal that combating climate change and transforming Canada's economy will fall to more than just one department in his government, say environmental groups.

Jonathan Wilkinson was shuffled from environment to natural resources in a cabinet shakeup Tuesday and Steven Guilbeault moved to environment after spending the last two years as minister of heritage.

Wilkinson, whose background before politics was as the CEO of multiple clean technology companies, will helm a department that has to oversee a transformation for Canada from an oil and gas country to a clean-tech economy, said Caroline Brouillette, director of domestic policy at Climate Action Network Canada.

Guilbeault, who helped found Equiterre during the very first United Nations climate conference in 1992 and was the director for Greenpeace in Quebec, will take on implementing a range of new climate promises including emissions caps on the oil and gas sector, tougher regulations for methane leaks and phasing out subsidies to fossil fuel companies by the end of next year.

OTTAWA - A convoy of protesters against COVID-19 restrictions that has settled into downtown Ottawa has provided a test for the Conservative party as it rolls into a leadership race.

"I spent the week undergoing the siege of Ottawa," Quebec Tory MP Pierre Paul-Hus said Friday on Twitter.

"If the motivation of truckers could be understood, the current situation is quite different," he added. "I ask that we clear the streets and that we stop this occupation controlled by radicals and anarchist groups."

Ontario Conservative MP Dean Allison replied that while he respects his colleague, he strongly disagrees.

BRAMPTON, Ont. - Patrick Brown has officially joined the race to lead the federal Conservatives, with a promise to heal the fractures that have erupted in the party over recent years.

Brown, 43, launched his campaign in Brampton, Ont., where he has served as mayor since 2018.

He walked on stage at the Queen’s Manor Event Centre with his wife, Genevieve, and their two children Sunday as the crowd chanted his name.

Brown's speech pitched a campaign that offers a greater voice for caucus members and a bigger Conservative tent.
