Canadian swimmer Summer McIntosh has created history at the Paris Olympics. She became the first Canadian to win three gold medals at the Olympics. On Saturday, she wins the 200m individual medley in an Olympic record time of two minutes 06.56 seconds, breaking the record of two minutes 06.58 set by Hungary's Katinka Hosszu.

This year, the 17-year-old swimmer from Toronto has won a total of 4 medals for Canada in the Paris Olympics. On July 27, he wins Canada's first medal with a silver medal in the 400m freestyle swimming event.

She will be 21 years old when the Summer Olympics will be held in Los Angeles in 2028. McIntosh said that the last week has been the most important of my life and such a moment comes once in 4 years and to be honest, I am already thinking about the Los Angeles Olympics.

It is worth noting that Canada has so far won 17 medals in the Paris Olympics, including 5 gold, 4 silver and 8 bronze medals.

Statistics Canada delays trade data release as U.S. government shutdown halts information flow

Statistics Canada says it is postponing the release of Canada’s international trade figures due to a lack of data from the United States, where a government shutdown has disrupted operations at the U.S. Census Bureau. The federal agency said it normally depends on U.S. import data to calculate Canadian export volumes but has not received updated information since the shutdown began in early October over a budget standoff in Congress. As a result, trade statistics for September, originally scheduled for publication on November 4, will be delayed. Statistics Canada said it will not be able to

Environment Canada says both Terrace and Kitimat received the most rain at 95 millimetres each, while wind gusts reached 87 km/h in Prince George and 93 km/h in Bella Bella. The stro

Canadian government takes action against two major carmakers

The Canadian government has taken action against two major carmakers, Stellantis and General Motors. The government has reduced the exemptions that these companies had been granted to import tax-free vehicles from the United States. The decision was taken in response to decisions by Stellantis and General Motors to reduce production in Canada and is aimed at pressuring the companies to invest in Canada and retain jobs. The government has cut GM's tariff-free import quota by 24 percent and Stellantis' quota by 50 percent. This means that these companies will now have to pay Canadian retalia
