REGINA — The Saskatchewan Roughriders kept the best for last Saturday in punching their ticket to the CFL playoffs. KeeSean Johnson’s 17-yard touchdown reception with 29 seconds left in the game lifted the Riders to a 16-12 victory over the Montreal Alouettes and clinched a post-season spot for the defending Grey Cup champions. Johnson darted down the sideline past cornerback Don Callis to haul in a picture-perfect pass from Trevor Harris for the touchdown. Harris threw the pass before Johnson even turned to look for the ball and the speedy receiver easily hauled it in. “I had a go ball and once I passed the defender, I saw the ball in the air. It was moving really slow. I just had to focus and then make the play. I saw the defender coming but I knew the ball would beat him there. Trevor threw a great pass, and I just had to make the catch,” said Johnson, who finished with seven catches for 85 yards. Johnson now has 108 receptions in 2026, the second highest single-season total in Riders history. Don Narcisse holds the franchise record of 123 catches which he set in 1995.

Daniel Dubois underlined his status as Britain's leading heavyweight with a devastating second-round stoppage of Fabio Wardley to retain his WBO title in London. The 29-year-old floored Wardley with a straight right inside the opening 20 seconds of their eagerly anticipated rematch at the O2 Arena and continued his relentless assault. Wardley survived the opening round but was overwhelmed by another sustained attack in the second, prompting his corner to throw in the towel. Dubois registers a second successive stoppage victory over Wardley, just five months after climbing off the canvas twice to dethrone his British rival in a thrilling 11-round contest in Manchester. This time, there was no such drama for the champion, who was dominant from the opening bell as he extended his professional record to 24 wins - 23 by knockout - and three defeats. "Fabio is a great boy, coming in for the second time, but it was my time and my era. I had my intentions, bad intentions from the beginning," Dubois said. "My back was against the wall the first time, this time we just had to go out there and show that we mean business, which is what we did tonight.

At a rally in Kentucky on Saturday, President Donald Trump reprised familiar attacks on Democrats and predicted a strong Republican showing in the midterm elections. But privately, he has reportedly blamed his aides as polls signal trouble ahead. In a roughly 90-minute speech in Highland Heights, Trump launched into familiar territory, deriding Democrats as “lunatics” and communists intent on allowing men to compete in women’s sports and letting immigrants enter the country illegally. “Who the hell is voting for these people?” Trump asked. “They’re gonna annihilate your borders, decimate Kentucky farms and energies, mutilate your children and give 25 million illegal aliens the right to vote,” he said. Praising a slate of GOP congressional candidates, he added: “The Republican Party is starting to look pretty good.”Behind closed doors, though, the 80-year-old president has struck a different tone, blaming aides and political operatives for a wobbling midterm strategy and voicing doubts about candidate choices, Reuters reported Saturday.

A 6-year-old boy and 35-year-old man were killed and 11 others were injured when a truck drove onto a field during a youth soccer game in Wichita, Kansas, on Saturday, authorities said.

VICTORIA — Kerri Einarson called game. Trailing by two points coming home in the Co-op Invitational quarterfinals Saturday against Miyu Ueno, Einarson needed another one of her patented big shots to lift her team into the semis. Forget about the curveball, Kerri. Give 'em the heater. Einarson fired into the cluster and when the dust settled, it was a count of three points and a 6-5 victory for the crew from Gimli, Manitoba, as the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre erupted in applause. It was an impressive week for the two-time Japanese champion Ueno in her Karuizawa club's top-tier Grand Slam debut. Ueno, who upset Einarson 9-4 in the preliminary round, ousted Japan's Team Yuina Miura 9-7 in the tiebreakers earlier Saturday to advance to the playoffs. Einarson, who qualified for the No. 2 seed with a 3-1 record, opened with the hammer but couldn't convert, blanking the first and giving up a steal in the second. The teams alternated deuces in the third and fourth ends, and Einarson was forced to draw for a single in the fifth to tie it 3-3.

Picture this. You're me, and you boot up the demo for Rain98, an incredibly blue-looking, rainy visual novel set in Tokyo, 1998, about a woman who refers to herself as the Angolmois, a world-ending reference to the predictions of good ole Nostradamus. At one point you have to light this woman's cigarette in a lightly stylish sequence. You get to a bit where you're asked to put your name in, and you put it in because like its predecessors, this is surely a self-insert kind of situation. Only you get a Steam achievement for getting a game over for putting your name in. Rude! But curious, so you, and of course I mean I, pressed on. In Rain98, you play as a nameless Generic Man who is deeply troubled, if not outright suicidal (of which this game has strong themes of) by the state of the world as it is in our present day. It's a fair stance to take! I would not exactly say things are good right now. But they weren't great in 1998 Japan, the year that Generic Man is somehow transported back to, finding this young woman, Reina Amehara, the Angolmois, in what he thinks is his apartment.

Astronomers led by University of Sydney researchers have detected FRB 20240304B, the most distant fast radio burst ever recorded, which originated when the Universe was only about three billion years old and more than doubles the previous distance record. MeerKAT radio observations combined with James Webb Space Telescope infrared imaging identified the host as a small, metal-poor galaxy undergoing intense star formation, supporting the idea that at least some FRBs come from young magnetars.

Montrealers took to the streets Saturday to stand in solidarity with high school students in France who protesters say are facing “detestable” conditions. Since mid-September, high school students in France have taken to the streets calling for education reform, saying conditions in their schools deteriorated dramatically following the summer break. They say schools are under-resourced and they are experiencing a shortage of staff. “Nobody should have to work this hard to do what they want to do in life and students in France, all they want to do is learn,” Amara Grant, a young Montrealer, told Global News at the protest at Phillips Square Saturday. The movement has since grown to protest the high cost of living and critique the social welfare funding. Similar protests have sprung up across Europe, including in Greece, Belgium and Albania.
