Canadian divers Rylan Wiens and Nathan Zasombor-Murray have won a bronze medal in the 10m synchro diving at the ongoing Olympic Games in France.

It is the first time Canada has won a medal in the men's event. On the other hand, Canada's women's team defeated France 2-1 in the football competition, with which the Canadian team's hopes for a medal are intact.

Vanessa Gilles scored the winning goal despite being injured. Before this, Canada's team defeated New Zealand's team 2-1 in the group match last Thursday, but later FIFA deducted 6 points from the team in the case of spying with drones. Now the Canada team's spirits have been boosted by the victory against France.

The federal NDP is expected to introduce a motion Wednesday calling on the government to ban a practice it describes as “surveillance pricing,” arguing it unfairly targets consumers using personal data.
