But I’m very proud of the way I managed my race and very happy with the win.”

The Canadian PressEDMONTON — The Edmonton Oilers head into a game against their provincial rivals with a chance to close in on NHL history. The Oilers will be going for their 13th win in a row when they visit the Calgary Flames on Saturday night. The NHL record is 17 consecutive wins. It’s OK if you can't immediately recall who holds that mark, because Oilers defenceman Vincent Desharnais doesn’t know, either. “I don’t know, I don’t want to know, I don’t really care,” he said after Friday’s practice at Rogers Pla

In last May’s provincial election, the NDP won the Calgary election by a one per cent margin, winning 14 of 26 seats. The rise of the UCP in Calgary is as surprising as it is unexpected, said Mount Royal University political scientist Lori Williams. “The NDP has to be alive to this risk, Notley’s personality is seen better than the NDP brand,” Enns said. Content of the article “Can the NDP maintain its support as a pragmatic alternative without a visionary leader like Rachel Notley?” she said. The poll showed the NDP doing slightly better in Edmonton compared to October, with 55 per cent support from voters compared to 40 per cent for the Conservatives.

The roundtable says the sector creates 2.4 per cent of the country's greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change.

As 2024 begins to take shape, one reoccurring question I hear on the street and on my podcast is: What happened to Canada? With each new development and each new conversation, I’ve been forced to wonder: What has happened to my country? I never used to get asked about what happened to Canada. This new line of thinking originated at elite American universities and spread to Canada through social media. A creeping censoriousness, driven by social media mobs and amplified uncritically by our media, has only intensified this dynamic.

While Canadians generally are alarmed at rising incidents of antisemitism, a new poll finds that young Canadians are dramatically out of sync with the rest of the country on the subject. A plurality of virtually every category answered “Jews”: Retirees, Canadians with a bachelor’s degree, full-time workers. The most conspicuous exception was Canadians aged 18 to 24, who framed the country as being caught in a tide of anti-Muslim hate that easily eclipsed anything happening to Canadian Jews. Of the 1,600 Canadians surveyed for the January poll, 46.2 per cent reported seeing a recent increase in “hateful comments” against Jews, while 37.8 per cent reported the same thing for Muslims. Overall the results were flipped — although not by much; 52 per cent trusted the Palestinian line while 55 per cent trusted Israeli accounts.
