Canadian population growth continued to slow with almost no increase in Q1: StatCan

Statistics Canada says population growth stalled in the first quarter. The agency says the Canadian population rose by 20,107 people from Jan. 1 to April 1 to 41,548,787, the smallest increase since the third quarter of 2020 when it contracted by 1,232 people. It was the sixth consecutive quarter of slower population growth after a decision by the federal government in 2024 to lower the levels of both temporary and permanent immigration. However, immigration still accounted for all of the population growth in the quarter as there were 5,628 more deaths than births in Canada. Canada admitted 10

Panthers beat Oilers, again, to repeat as Stanley Cup champions

Canada may be the home of hockey, but the Stanley Cup is maintaining its residence in the Sunshine State. For the second straight season, the Florida Panthers have extended Canada's Cup drought. And once again, it has come at the expense of the Edmonton Oilers.

Either the Panthers or the state-rival Tampa Bay Lightning have appeared in the last six Cup finals, with e

Canada, India agree to name new high commissioners at G7 meeting

Along with this, regular diplomatic services will be restored for citizens of both countries. Canada expelled six Indian diplomats and consular officials last fall.

Panthers can clinch a 2nd consecutive Stanley Cup championship by beating the Oilers in Game 6

The Florida Panthers can win the Stanley Cup for the second year in a row by beating the Edmonton Oilers in Game 6 of the final. Their first chance to clinch the franchise's second championship comes at home after a dominant performance in Game 5 at Edmonton. Players say they learned important lessons from failing to close out the Oilers three timesin the final a year ago. Still, the Stanley Cup being in the building is enough to rile up the nerves in what could be the final game of the NHL season.
