Veteran leaders John Tavares, Mark Giordano step up when the Leafs need them
If somehow, when the season is over, the Maple Leafs look back to this week as the turning point, then the work of John Tavares and Mark Giordano should not be forgotten. It feels good to have that support.”After Tavares’s hat trick, Giordano’s heroics stood out as a moment of togetherness,“Unreal,” Tavares said. The Flyers had just scored, with Tavares in the penalty box, to get within one goal of the Leafs. “One on one, he’s really dynamic, he’s really strong on the puck. There remain plenty of flaws to the Leafs game, namely taking too many penalties and some inexplicable bad passing.

Stars’ start to the season has been a balancing act that holds plenty of potential
TEMPE, Ariz. — The first three weeks of the season has been a balancing act for Pete DeBoer and the Stars. They’ve taken the good results after 10 games and balanced it with the fact that their team game is far from complete. We played poorly against New York and played a real good game the next time [against Los Angeles]. We know what he wants.”One injury away: When asked about his biggest concern with the Stars, DeBoer pointed to a hypothetical: more injuries. “We played for the Presidents’ Trophy against Colorado with a week left in the season, three [players] short,” DeBoer said.

Trudeau headed to Southeast Asia, Tunisia, leaving no time for climate conferenceOTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is headed to Southeast Asia and North Africa this month, but he won't be attending a major climate-change conference. He'll then attend an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting in Bangkok, Thailand, before flying to Tunisia for the Francophonie summit on the island of Djerba. That leaves no time for Trudeau to attend this year's UN Climate Change Conference, known as COP27, in Egypt. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 2, 2022. The Canadian Press

Convicted murderer Colin Thatcher’s invitation to the Saskatchewan legislature diminishes us all
The invitation was issued by Lyle Stewart, a Saskatchewan Party MLA and legislative secretary to the premier responsible for provincial economic autonomy. Longtime abuserThatcher’s final act of violence was, according to Wilson’s earlier statement, the culmination of abuses that experts — those who have lived and/or studied intimate partner violence — recognize as a classic escalation. The Saskatchewan government should be just as concerned with the safety of domestic violence survivors as it currently is with asserting provincial autonomy. Domestic violence survivors also require autonomy so they are not subject to violence in their own homes. Family law courts do not take domestic violence into adequate account when determining custody of children.

Contrary to rhetoric, high-income families pay most taxes in Canada
Contrary to rhetoric, high-income families pay most taxes in CanadaSome politicians want to increase taxes on high-income earners in Canada. These higher-income families comprise the only income group in Canada that pays a larger share of taxes relative to its share of total income. All other Canadian families with incomes below the top 20 per cent pay a smaller share of personal income taxes than their share of income earned. On top of income taxes, Canadians also pay other federal, provincial and local taxes such as payroll taxes, sales taxes, property taxes, fuel taxes, profit taxes and many more. When the analysis includes the distribution of all taxes, the data show that high-income Canadian families still pay a disproportionate share of taxes.

Price hikes help drive major sales growth at Tim Hortons
Menu prices have been rising faster at fast-food restaurants than other parts of the restaurant industry in Canada. “Any price changes that our guests have seen at Tim Hortons are in line with our top competitors in the restaurant industry,” RBI chief corporate officer Duncan Fulton said. But Tim Hortons isn’t waiting for commuters to come back. That sort of experimentation has proven to be a dangerous game for Tim Hortons in the past. “Tim Hortons continues to drive strong performance in Canada … providing further evidence that the brand’s ‘Back to Basics’ plan is working,” he said.

Today in Canada’s Political History: French President François Hollande addresses Canada’s Parliament
A distinguished foreign visitor was on Parliament Hill on this date in 2014 to address a joint-session of Canada’s Parliament. French President François Hollande did so while on an official visit to Canada, the first by a President of his nation since the 1980s when another French leader, François Mitterrand, toured Canada. Our Prime Minister, Stephen J. Harper, welcomed President Hollande to the Commons’ Chamber that historic day. President, compared to Europe, which is so much older, Canada may seem like a young country,” Canada’s 22nd Prime Minister said before inviting the French President to address MPs and Senators. Ever since, the great journey of the French language in North America has continued.
