Goal-frenzied Jason Robertson makes Stars history vs. Flames
Jason Robertson scoring goals is all but a certainty at this point. It’s going to happen, and the Stars rely on their star to do such. Robertson notched his 40th goal of the season Saturday night against the Calgary Flames and became the first Dallas Star to reach the 40-goal mark in consecutive seasons. The goal came late in the second period of a tight game against the Flames, which the Stars opened with a 3-1 lead. Robertson buried the game-winning goal in OT to lift the Stars over the Flames.

New Blue Jay Brandon Belt warms to full-time DH role
But they’ve got a full-jacket DH now in Brandon Belt, plucked off the free-agency shelf over the winter specifically for the purpose. “It’s something I’m OK with,” Belt was saying the other morning of his DH classification as a Blue Jay. Belt assures the problem has now vanished, after an off-season of rehab and a gentle reintroduction since reporting to camp. If I can keep it more like I’m playing defence in the game, I’ll be better off because that’s what I’m used to. I’ve been doing that for years and I’ve had some success in the DH role.” Albeit just a dozen DH turns with San Francisco in ’22.

Crime is up, ridership is down. Has this U.S. city’s public transit found a better way?
Many cities are struggling with public transit violence and homelessness, but Philadelphia’s system is being held up as an example for introducing an innovative plan that seems to be a hopeful, humane way to handle its problems. As ridership drops in the pandemic, crime on SEPTA risesSEPTA is America’s fifth-largest transit system, with about 900,000 rides a day pre-COVID, or roughly half the size of the TTC. Since the pandemic, ridership across SEPTA has been a fraction of what it once was, and violence has risen. Transit violence leads to a decrease in ridershipStill, there’s something about violence on transit, a confined space that’s meant to be an unremarkable, routine part of the day, that makes people particularly anxious. But unlike cities such as New York, where police are treated as the foremost solution to transit crime, SEPTA recognizes that police aren’t best positioned to handle all situations, especially ones involving vulnerable people.

Panthers upset top-ranked Dinos 4-2
CHARLOTTETOWN (U SPORTS)—In front of a sold-out crowd, the UPEI Panthers upset the top-ranked Calgary Dinos 4-2 to advance to the Saturday’s semifinals. Fueled by their stingy defence, the Panthers’ offence came alive late in the period. On a power play at 15:07, Matt Brassard delivered a pass to Pilon in the right circle where he roofed a wrist shot for the opening goal. Tetachuk responded with a big save early in the second period to keep it a two-goal deficit. After a shaky second period, the Panthers came out flying in the third and quickly cushioned their lead.

Justin Trudeau says Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives are more interested in undermining Canadian democracy than protecting it
OTTAWA — The federal Conservatives are more interested in “ginning up a partisan circus” and undermining democracy for political gain than they are in actually protecting Canadian institutions, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau charged Friday. Both the Conservatives and Bloc Québécois condemned the appointment, with Poilievre accusing the prime minister of naming a “family friend, old neighbour from the cottage and member of the Beijing-funded Trudeau foundation” to the independent role. Johnston — who was appointed governor general by Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper — is listed as a member of the Pierre Elliot Trudeau Foundation, which the Prime Minister’s Office says Trudeau has not been tied to since he became Liberal leader. He was in charge at the time of making sure that China or others weren’t influencing our elections,” Trudeau said. “It is Justin Trudeau that has put Mr. Johnston in this terrible situation by naming a member of the China-financed Trudeau Foundation to perform this role of looking into Beijing’s interference in our election campaigns,” he said.
