The Canadian PressGOTHENBURG, Sweden — Alan Letang was on the edge of his seat as an assistant coach in the press box. The final of last year's world junior hockey championship saw Canada lead underdog Czechia 2-0 midway through the third period in Halifax before a pair of goals stunned the hosts. The Canadians reset, kept their nerve and scored in overtime to secure a second straight gold medal. Now in the top job, Letang knows just how close that team came to settling for silver. "We remember the good side," Ca

ThemNew York is coached by Howie Draper with his assistants Laura Brennan, Colton Orr and Mike Sommer. Their captain is Micah Zandee-Hart with Ella Shelton and forward Alex Carpenter wearing the A. Zandee-Hart and Shelton are the young Team Canada defenders of note, and they are both excellent. As Nurse herself said on HNIC, Toronto has big and annoying players that aim to be tough to play against. I think Team Toronto is a really interesting build for a new league. Those aren't the same thing, and the opening game will be the first test of how the teams have been built.

A study is revealing some of the challenges that electric vehicles will pose to northern power grids — and it’ll likely be revised now that Canada has a plan for phasing out the sale of gas-powered cars and trucks. “At no point in our studies did we consider 100 per cent electric vehicle adoption,” said Michael Ross, a researcher at Yukon University who is leading the study. So far, it’s showing some of the ways residential power grids will be strained if people in those neighbourhoods add Level 2 electric vehicle charging stations to their homes, he said. Faster charging needs more powerJay Massie, the vice president of northern development and Indigenous relations for ATCO Electric, said ATCO already has a “good understanding” of what electrification will do to northern power grids. Ross said some transformers are “underrated,” meaning they weren’t designed to have a lot of electric vehicles integrated into them.

The Canadian PressGOTHENBURG, Sweden — Macklin Celebrini could see the New Year's Eve fireworks from the bus on the way to Scandinavium arena. Canada's best — and youngest — player exploded hours later in key moments to save his country from an embarrassing result with the calendar flipping to 2024.

Looking ahead to 2024, Auchterlonie said he thinks the pressure will continue to mount, and Canadians are “overly comfortable” about their safety as the world changes. “We are in the middle of this and I’m not sure everybody understands that the security and defence situation globally has deteriorated significantly,” he said. At the same time, Canada has pledged to boost its presence on NATO’s eastern flank in Latvia and in the Indo-Pacific. Canadian military members have also been called upon to help with recovery from natural disasters and extreme weather here at home at an unprecedented rate in recent years. In that instance the military was the force of last resort, Auchterlonie said, and had the specialized equipment needed.

Fuzzy math: Are giant landlords given too much credit – or blame – for what goes on in the rental market? AdvertisementToplineThe largest California rental complexes, those with 20 or more units, were home to 1.65 million households in 2022. But big complexes in California hold nowhere near the slice of renters compared with states where giant landlords dominate. Single-family: California’s renter households in one-unit properties are also a larger group than those living in the big complexes. Bottom lineOwners of larger apartment complexes, typically big institutional investors, control a small and perhaps influential slice of the rental market.

Also, if bullied, a stubborn child is much more likely to be able to maintain their self-esteem, because their mindset is less easily influenced.

In this outstanding and educational talk, [Michael Büker] walks us through the history of our understanding of the planets. The question “What is a planet?” is probably more about the astronomers doing the looking than the celestial bodies that they’re looking for. They got kicked out soon, but then when we started being able to see asteroids, Ceres, Vesta, and Juno made the list. But by counting all the asteroids, the number got up above 1,200, and it got all too crazy. Which we call “planets” and which we don’t is really about our perception of them and trying to fit this multiplicity into simple classification schemas.
