Canada drops 4-3 decision to Denmark in women’s soccer friendly in Toronto - saskNOW

“They made us pay for all of our mistakes,” said Canadian forward Evelyne Viens. “It was pretty clear.” Viens, Olivia Smith and Delaney Pridham scored for Canada in front of an announced crowd of 12,112 on a warm, mostly sunny afternoon at the lakefront stadium. The teams played to a 1-1 draw on Friday in Montreal. Smith scored a late equalizer for the hosts in that game and Canada won the unofficial shootout 4-2. On Monday, the ninth-ranked Canadians started with a 4-2-3-1 formation while the 12th-ranked Danes went with a 3-4-3. Kailen Sheridan started in net for Canada and Jessie Fleming wore the captain’s armband. Pridham opened the scoring in the 10th minute after Kaylee Hunter headed the ball low into a packed penalty area. Pridham swivelled and beat goalkeeper Freja Thisgaard for her first goal with the women’s senior team. “I was just ready, back to goal, turned and just hit it in,” Pridham said. “I think I caught the goalie off guard.”Canada kept the pressure on and was nearly rewarded moments later when Smith’s shot from outside the area glanced off Thisgaard and hit the post. Defensive miscues contributed to the Denmark scoring surge that started in the 24th minute.

You might call this our time of reckoning - The Hill Times

Canadian Paul Samson argues in new paper published by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, that while economic integration with the U. S. has generated prosperity for Canada, this has come with a price which may be even more threatening than in the past. Prime Minister Mark Carney, pictured in Ottawa. Canada needs a sovereign broadband backbone that links Canadians coast to coast, and builds network access to Europe and Asia without having to go through U. S.-controlled networks. It means Canadian-owned and controlled so that only Canadian agencies have access to what is stored, writes David Crane. The Hill Times photograph by Andrew Meade

Canada Halts Expansion of Assisted Suicide to People With Mental Illness - ZENIT - English

(ZENIT News / Otawwa, 10.11.2026).- Canada will not extend its assisted-dying program to people whose sole underlying condition is a mental illness, Justice Minister Sean Fraser announced on October 7, bringing an end to years of uncertainty over whether the country would permit medically assisted death for people who are not terminally ill but are experiencing psychiatric suffering. Speaking to reporters in the House of Commons, Fraser acknowledged that the issue had not produced complete agreement but said the government believed maintaining the current restriction was the right decision. The forthcoming legislation is expected to extend the exclusion indefinitely, replacing a series of temporary delays with a more lasting policy.

USD/CAD Hits April 2025 High as Weak Canada Jobs Data Deepens US Yield Advantage - VT Markets

USD/CAD rose on Friday as the Canadian Dollar weakened after a soft domestic jobs report, while a firm US Dollar added to the move. The pair was trading near 1.4276, a level last seen in April 2025, as markets repriced the Canadian outlook and leaned towards further US policy tightening. Statistics Canada said employment fell by 68.3K in September versus expectations for a 7K rise, following a 41.7K decline in August. The unemployment rate ticked up to 6.5% from 6.4%, while participation slipped to 64.8%, its lowest since December 1997 outside the pandemic period. Canadian yields dropped, with the two-year down more than 8 basis points to about 3.199%, while the US Dollar stayed near an 18-month high and the DXY sat around 102.30 after an intraday low of 101.92. The US two-year yield held near 4.797%, about 160 basis points above Canada’s, as attention shifts to the University of Michigan sentiment reading and 1-year and 5-year inflation expectations.

Canada Jobs Fall 68,300 in September, Fueling BoC Rate-Cut Bets and CAD Pressure - VT Markets

Canada’s net change in employment fell by 68.3K in September, undershooting the 7K increase expected by the market. The result points to a weaker labour market print for the month and marks a clear reversal versus forecasts. The downside surprise may feed into expectations for the economic outlook and the policy path of the Bank of Canada, as employment trends can influence growth and inflation dynamics. Markets are likely to weigh the gap between the -68.3K outcome and the 7K consensus when reassessing near-term probabilities for interest rate moves.
