Canadian travel to Las Vegas continues to crater amid U. S. President Donald Trump's attacks on Canada, and the tourism slump in Sin City has become a major midterm election issue. Nevada Democrats are trying to capitalize on the decline, blaming Trump's trade war and threats toward Canada — the state's largest source of international tourists. "The Trump Slump is real, and Las Vegas tourism is tanking," the party said in one of its campaign messages ahead of the November vote in this crucial swing state. "Nevadans are struggling under Trump's tourism crisis," is another line the party has deployed as it puts the fractured relationship with Canada front and centre in this election.

Nevada Democrats are trying to capitalize on the economic fallout from Trump's trade war with Canada, which they blame for hurting tourism.

Planning a vacation to Mexico? The Canadian government has flagged a potential safety risk in its latest travel advisory. In less than a week, the Government of Canada has updated its Mexico advisory again, warning Canadians about another possible safety issue. In an update published on Monday, Canadians were urged to “avoid non-essential travel” to the west-central coast, from Punta San Telmo to Bahia Tempehuaya, including the Islas Marias islands, due to Hurricane Simon.

Two Canadian amusement parks, including Canada’s Wonderland, say they are closing down roller-coasters “out of an abundance of caution” following a deadly incident at a Six Flags park near Atlanta. In a statement, Grace Peacock, a spokesperson for Canada’s Wonderland, confirmed that both Behemoth and Leviathan are currently closed. “The safety of our guests and team members remains one of our highest priorities,” Peacock’s statement read. Canada’s Wonderland became a Six Flags property back in 2023 after the amusement park’s owner Cedar Fair merged with the theme park giant. It is unclear when the two roller-coasters are expected to reopen. In a statement, Montreal amusement park La Ronde also confirmed a roller-coaster closure in the wake of the incident in Georgia. “We are deeply saddened by the tragic incident at Six Flags Over Georgia and extend our heartfelt condolences to everyone affected,” an emailed statement from a spokesperson read. “At La Ronde, the safety of our guests and employees is our highest priority.

Kimi Antonelli could become Formula 1's youngest world champion as early as the next race - the United States Grand Prix - on October 25. Mercedes' Antonelli increased his lead at the top of the Drivers' Championship to a season-high 102 points with a third-place finish in the Singapore Grand Prix. George Russell remains second in the standings but a ninth-place finish after engine penalties had left him starting at the back of the grid dropped him beyond a century of points behind his team-mate for the first time, while Lewis Hamilton's late slide off the podium leaves the Ferrari driver 111 points off the pace in third place.

Written by Paul HodowanicThe PGA Tour is full of success stories from its strategic alliance with the DP World Tour, chief among them the pathway that provides European Tour members dual membership across both tours. That opportunity began in 2023. In just more than a month, the fourth class of Europeans will earn their Tour cards. A refresher on how it works: After next month's DP World Tour Championship (Nov. 12-15), the top 10 finishers in the season-long Race to Dubai standings who are eligible and not otherwise exempt will earn status on the PGA Tour in 2027. That doesn’t mean specifically Nos. 1-10 in the final DP World Tour standings, since some current Tour members are inside the top 10 (Rory McIlroy is third, for example). The final list will likely change with four events left on the calendar, including two postseason events with elevated points available, but who are the current 10 players projected to earn Tour cards?

Hello, and welcome to TechScape. I’m Blake Montgomery, US tech editor at the Guardian, writing to you while moving laundry from the washer to the dryer, wishing a robot could do the task for me. Today in tech, we’re talking about workers and AI. Workers under surveillanceEmployees across the globe are increasingly finding themselves minutely monitored in their workplaces, with tiny changes in their behaviors resulting in negative performance evaluations. The latest example of workers under surveillance and bristling at it comes from Co-op, which operates supermarkets, undertakers, insurance and legal services companies in the UK. The company implemented an automated listening technology that rates every phone call some of them make to customers. In a system described as “oppressive and dystopian” by a whistleblower, Co-op Legal Services is using AI models to record, analyze and award a percentage score for interactions between agents and customers seeking advice about probate, wills and estates. “You are being watched,” said a Co-op worker who spoke to the Guardian on condition of anonymity.

This infographic illustrates the distances driven by various rovers on the surface of Earth’s Moon and Mars. Of the vehicles shown, the NASA Mars rovers Perseverance and Curiosity are still operational and moving across the surface; the figures shown for those two are distances driven as of Oct. 11, 2026. As of that date, Perseverance exceeded the distance record held by NASA’s Opportunity rover, which came to a final halt in 2018 at about 28.1 miles (45.16 kilometers) driven. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which is managed for NASA by Caltech in Pasadena, California, built and manages operations of the Perseverance rover on behalf of the agency’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington, as part of NASA’s Mars Exploration Program portfolio.

BNN Bloomberg is Canada’s definitive source for business news dedicated exclusively to helping Canadians invest and build their businesses. BANGKOK — The International Monetary Fund on Tuesday slightly upgraded its outlook for the world economy for this year, while warning of growing risks from rising debt, including the financial frenzy around artificial intelligence. The IMF says it expects the global economy to grow at a 3.1 per cent pace this year. That’s up from its July forecast for 3.0 per cent growth and well below the 3.5 per cent expansion in 2025. Growth in 2027 should rebound to 3.4 per cent, it said in its latest Economic Outlook. The report, released as world economic and financial leaders gathered in Bangkok for the fall meetings of the IMF and World Bank, predicts that growth in the United States will remain steady at 2.3 per cent in 2026 and 2027. Collectively, advanced economies will grow 2.1 per cent this year, up from 2.0 per cent in 2025, and then slow to 1.9 per cent growth next year, it said. The forecasts are based on a nearly 41 per cent increase in oil prices this year, at an average of $96 a barrel.

LIV Golf players are set to flood back to the DP World Tour, but one veteran is adamant the returning stars should not have things all their own way… There is an idiom in the Netherlands that Joost Luiten believes applies acutely to the LIV Golf players trying to forge a path back to the game’s traditional environs. You have to sit on the blisters. “It means they made their decision and now they should deal with the consequences,” he says. The Dutchman is one of the players embracing the bustling chaos of New Delhi at this week’s DP World India Championship, while also considering the significant news that his circuit is introducing a new rule to ban LIV golfers from the 2027 season onwards. Wentworth bosses will now reject membership applications from those wishing to play on LIV 2.0, effectively offering players an ‘us or them’ ultimatum with their emboldened position. LIV hopes to offer players 10 events with purses ranging from $5.5 million and $9 million, while the DP World Tour schedule runs deeper and provides access to the European Ryder Cup team, albeit with more modest purses in certain events.

The Milwaukee Brewers have taken command of the National League Championship Series, winning the first two games at home and heading to Los Angeles just two wins away from their first World Series since 1982. At this time last year, the Brewers were leaving home down 2-0 and ultimately ended up getting swept in four games by the Dodgers. However, things are different this year, and while many anticipated that the Dodgers would win this series, the Brewers have done everything better so far. Here are a few reasons why the Brewers may have flipped the script on the Dodgers and are a bigger championship threat than you may realize.
