U. S. actor Sydney Sweeney is once again facing backlash over an advertisement. This time, she has enraged female athletes around the world with a nude sports gambling ad — and her response. The ad for Novig, a peer-to-peer prediction exchange focused exclusively on sports, was posted online Sept. 9 and viewed nearly 39 million times by Monday morning. It features Sweeney holding various pieces of sports equipment in front of what looks like her otherwise naked body, as bass music plays in the background. "Think you know sports? Prove it," says the star of Euphoria and The Housemaid at the beginning of the ad as she holds a football in front of each breast. In other shots, she perches on a basketball net while spinning a ball with only her hair covering her, holds a football in front of her pelvis, lies nude on a bench with a soccer ball resting on her feet and swings a golf club wearing only white underwear. It set off a backlash from female athletes and Olympians who say the ad sexualizes women in sport and sets them back. The criticism crosses borders and a range of sports, with many posting "Dear Sydney Sweeney" videos on social media in response.

More than a year after her American Eagle ad controversy, Sydney Sweeney is facing backlash for another campaign: her sexualized promotion for sports trading app Novig. The Euphoria actress partnered up with Novig on Wednesday to support the new platform, which launched last month. She not only starred in the ad but also joined Novig as a strategic partner and equity holder.

ETHAN CAIRNS/The Canadian PressTensions rose on the campaign trail in British Columbia on Monday as B. C. NDP Leader David Eby scrambled to explain comments he made earlier in the day about the tragedy at CFB Wainwright, which followed suggestions that some BC Conservatives harbour separatist sentiments. BC Conservative interim leader Lorne Doerkson called the remarks unacceptable. Later in the day speaking in Hope, B. C., Mr. Eby said he didn’t use the tragedy for political gain and will steer clear of the topic through to voting day. “Let me say unreservedly I would never, ever use the sacrifice of these young men, the grief of their families for political advantage to attack another party,” Mr. Eby said. Earlier, he referenced the loss of the four soldiers lives in the fire as being “our true heroes” who had put their lives on the line to defend Canada. “What we can do for them is stand up for a united Canada, to stand up for our country,” he said.

Images released by the Las Vegas Police Department show an Ontario tourist taking a flamingo, allegedly removed from its habitat, back to his hotel room. LAS VEGAS -- A Canadian man was convicted of animal cruelty charges Monday for snatching a flamingo named Peachy from its enclosure at an iconic Las Vegas hotel. Prosecutors said it was a malicious prank while a lawyer for the tourist insisted it was drunken foolishness not meant to harm the bird. Prosecutors said tourist Mitchell Fairbarn hurt and frightened the 27-year-old Chilean flamingo when he took it from its habitat at the Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel and Casino and carried the squawking bird to his room March 3. Defence attorney Josh Tomsheck told jurors at trial in a Nevada court that the man deeply regretted the “bad decisions” he made while intoxicated. After about five hours of deliberations, jurors returned convictions on felony and misdemeanor animal cruelty counts against the Ontario, Canada, man. Mitchell Fairbarn, left, appears in court with his attorney Josh Tomsheck, during jury selection for his trial at the Regional Justice Center on Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2026, in Las Vegas.
