Speaking Wednesday at the East Coast Gaming Congress in Atlantic City, industry executives and legislators from gambling states offered various explanations for why internet gambling has yet to expand beyond a handful of eastern states. Internet gambling is legal in New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Michigan, Pennsylvania and West Virginia; Nevada offers online poker but not casino games. Internet gambling brought in $1.6 billion in New Jersey in 2022, up more than 21% from a year earlier. That should give internet gambling another look in many places, they said. Siobhan Lane, CEO of Gaming for Light & Wonder, said she is optimistic about the likely expansion of internet gambling.

But happy times have been dimmed by a staggering spike in Islamophobic incidents across the country that have ruined the month for many. Or the increasing cases of vandalism at Muslim community spaces. The National Council of Canadian Muslims, which helps community members respond to such incidents, has received over 40 reports from community members across Canada since Ramadan started — a record number. All this is giving the Muslim community pause during a time when neighbours and congregants are supposed to achieve more serenity in their faith. This isn’t just a Muslim community problem.

The chaos at Canada Soccer continues. Earl Cochrane, the organization’s general secretary, agreed Thursday to depart the organization, according to sources familiar with the decision. Canada Soccer has been a governance mess over the last year, even in a time of unprecedented competitive success. That game had been a replacement for a game against Iran, which had been cancelled due to political pressure, at great expense to Canada Soccer. The fight is not over, and the battle for the next president of Canada Soccer could be a turning point in Canadian soccer.

Kenya's horticultural exports are projected to increase about 10% to 166.76 billion shillings (about 1.23 billion USD) in 2023, compared to 1.1 billion dollars in 2022, an industry umbrella body said recently. "Given the current good rains being experienced in most parts of the country and the increase in demand from the overseas market, we expect to grow the 2023 exports," Okisegere Ojepat, chief executive officer of Fresh Produce Consortium of Kenya, a trade association committed to driving the growth of fresh produce companies in Kenya, told journalists in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, during a horticulture workshop. The bulk of the exports is transported via air freight, with the rest using road and rail transport to the Port of Mombasa before being loaded to shipping vessels en route to their various destinations, said Ojepat, citing the European Union, Britain, Japan, China, and the Middle East as some of the main export destinations.

After the Stars went 3-of-6 on the power play in Game 2, Minnesota coach Dean Evason suggested that not all the penalties against the Wild were legit. Evason suggested that the Stars embellish many of the penalties. “We felt that they had some bigger people probably go down pretty easy in that hockey game,” Evason told Minnesota reporters Thursday. Our team, the Minnesota Wild, don’t dive. But yeah, there was some of that [Wednesday] night.”Twitter: @ChuckCarltonDMNFind more Stars coverage from The Dallas Morning News here.

But that’s not what Twitter’s label is actually suggesting. Public pleaIn early April, Poilievre made a public request to Musk to label the CBC “government-funded media,” saying Canadians should be protected against disinformation and manipulation by state media. According to Twitter’s media account label policies, there’s a distinction between the “government-funded” and “state-affiliated” labels. Not a warningThe “government-funded” label doesn’t appear to suggest any sort of warning or raise cause for concern about the outlet’s objectivity and independence. But misleading Canadians by conflating Twitter’s media account verification labels, as Poilievre has done, is not the way forward.

Nagwa El Mamoun arrived in Khartoum with her daughter and husband on March 2 to visit family after a week’s vacation in Dubai. “I don’t wanna die here.”The family entered Sudan on visas. El Mamoun and her husband grew up in Sudan, but gave up their Sudanese citizenship when they became Canadian citizens. But it’s now spreading into residential neighbourhoods as combatants seek shelter, Abbadi said. Global Affairs Canada did not comment on any plans to evacuate Canadians from Sudan in the coming days or weeks.

The CBC is leaving its Twitter accounts inactive as it evaluates the social media platform's decision to remove the "government-funded media" tag on its accounts. CBC spokesperson Leon Mar says the public broadcaster is "reviewing this latest development" and will leave its Twitter accounts "on pause" before taking any next steps. Twitter removed the "government-funded media" description on a number of public broadcasters' accounts, including the CBC, without any explanation on Thursday. It noted that Twitter’s own policy defines government-funded media as those that may have varying degrees of government involvement over editorial content. The BBC is also a member of the Global Task Force, as well as France Télévisions, Germany's ZDF and Sweden's SVT.

It may have ceded to the BBC, but Elon Musk’s Twitter is back under pressure from the world’s public service broadcasters. The Global Task Force for Public Media has called on the social media platform to correct the designation of four of its members on the site. This comes after Twitter this week upped its efforts in labeling public media bodies on its site. The Public Media Alliance has analyzed 50 public service media accounts and found what it calls an “inconsistent and incoherent patchwork of labels.” For example, PBS and NPR are labeled as “Government-funded,” though neither directly receive money from U.S. state, as are Italy’s Rai, Spain’s RTVE and Australian diversity-focused network SBS. RNZ was due to merge with TVNZ to form a new public media group, Aotearoa New Zealand Public Media, but this was scrapped in February less than a month before it was due to take place.
