England has broken through its semifinal ceiling at major soccer tournaments.

A title match awaits for the first time in 55 years.

Harry Kane converted the rebound after his initial penalty was saved in the 104th minute to give England a come-from-behind 2-1 win over Denmark in extra time at Wembley Stadium in the European Championship semifinals.

England will return to its national soccer stadium on Sunday to play Italy and will be competing in its first final since the 1966 World Cup.

That remains England's only international title.

England had to rally for the win after Mikkel Damsgaard scored from a free kick in the 30th.

England's equalizer was an own-goal in the 39th.

B.C. premier-designate Lorne Doerkson has signalled that he may take a different approach from federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre on the oil tanker ban along British Columbia’s northern coast. Poilievre recently called on the Carney government in the House of Commons to lift the ban.

Following the latest increase, mortgages, car loans and other commercial borrowing are expected to become more expensive, putting additional financial pressure on Canadians. Citing elevated oil
