Canada claimed its fifth gold medal in seven women's Olympic hockey tournaments by defeating the United States, 3-2 in the final.

Marie-Philip Poulin scored twice and assisted on Sarah Nurse's goal to add another chapter to her legacy as ``Captain Clutch'' for Canada.

Ann-Renee Desbiens made 38 saves as the Canadians forced the Americans to settle for a silver medal for the fourth time.

Captain Marie-Philip Poulin of Beauceville, Que., scored twice and assisted on the other to lead Canada to the gold medal with a 3-2 victory over the United States, ` the third time she has scored the ``golden-goal'' to clinch the championship.

Sarah Nurse, Hamilton, had the other goal and set a record for points scored during an Olympic tournament with 18 (5 g, 13 a) breaking the mark set by fellow Canadian Hayley Wickenheiser at Turin in 2006.

Carney to adjust federal cabinet after Guilbeault steps down over Alberta energy deal

Prime Minister Mark Carney is preparing a limited cabinet shuffle on Monday, following the sudden resignation of Steven Guilbeault late last week. Guilbeault left his role as Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and as the government’s Quebec Lieutenant, a decision that came only hours after Ottawa unveiled a new energy agreement with Alberta. In a letter made public Thursday, Guilbeault wrote that he respects the prime minister’s efforts to navigate what he described as a period of “profound disruption,” but said he could not support the memorandum of understanding with Alberta.

Eby signals willingness to discuss pipeline proposal if northern tanker ban stays in place

BC Premier David Eby says his government is prepared to consider discussions around a proposed northern pipeline, as long as the long standing ban on crude oil tankers along the province’s northern coast remains intact.
