Canadian lawn tennis player Victoria Mboko has won the National Bank Open title. The 18-year-old Mboko defeated four-time Grand Slam winner Naomi Osaka 2-6, 6-4, 6-1 in the final.

After losing the first set, Victoria Mboko made a strong comeback in the match, winning the second and third sets in an almost one-sided fashion and taking the match and the title.

The spectators also became extremely excited during the second and third set comebacks of the Canadian player, who was playing in front of the home crowd, and the umpire had to repeatedly ask the spectators to be quiet and not make noise between points.

After winning the first WTA title of her career, Boko first went to hug her coach and family sitting in the courtside box.

Jason Kenney Links UCP Calgary-Shaw Defeat to Alberta Separation Debate

Former Alberta Premier Jason Kenney has linked the UCP’s defeat in the Calgary-Shaw byelection to the upcoming separation referendum, saying the debate over Alberta leaving Canada is turning away Conservative voters who also feel strongly about the country. Kenney said the separation issue is pushing some nationalist supporters toward opposition parties such as the NDP. He believes the October 19 referendum is having a negative impact on Conservative support. In the Calgary-Shaw byelection, Alberta NDP candidate Kyle Campbell defeated UCP candidate Mike Derry by 582 votes. Campbell received

Rising Oil Prices Raise Odds of Bank of Canada Rate Hike

Canada’s central bank could raise interest rates in the coming months as rising global crude oil prices increase inflationary pressures. Economists believe the Bank of Canada’s chances of raising rates by December are growing, despite Canada’s annual inflation rate remaining steady at 3% last month. Economists at Desjardins Group and RSM Canada say it may be difficult for Bank of Canada officials to ignore oil prices above US$100 a barrel, particularly if the increase persists. While core inflation remains under control for now, economists warn that continued oil price shocks could push
