Once retirement starts, plenty of folks spend that time playing golf, traveling, or simply enjoying a slower pace of life. Sobiesław Zasada evidently isn't one of them. At 96 years old, the Polish rally legend is still involved in motorsport—and his latest adventure has taken him back to Argentina, where he scored one of the biggest victories of his career almost six decades ago. To understand why this return matters, we need to go back to October 1967, when Zasada arrived in Argentina to compete in the Gran Premio Internacional de Turismo—a grueling rally that covered more than 1864 miles.

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney says he is “open” to amending the Canadian constitution to deal with major questions of structural change but only where there is strong “consensus” in the country. In little-noticed comments during a podcast interview with host Ryan Jespersen, the prime minister addressed how he intends to respond to Alberta’s concerns, and why he advocated for voters to reject a future binding independence referendum, along with urging them to say “no to the nine” other questions and vote against Premier Danielle Smith’s other proposals for change.
