The federal government says it expects the flow of foreign nationals leaving the war-torn Gaza Strip to Egypt will continue in the coming days, even as Canadians had been warned that their safety could not be guaranteed if they chose to make the trip.Global Affairs Canada said Wednesday night that it was aware of reports that one Canadian citizen was able to leave the Palestinian territory at the Rafah border crossing with the help of a third party, but offered no further information.“Canada has one of the largest contingents of nationals in Gaza,” the statement from the department said. “We expect further crossings daily over the coming days.”A list of those allowed out published Wednesday by the General Authority for Border Crossings in Gaza included citizens of Australia, Austria, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Finland, Japan and Jordan — but not Canada.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called for all Canadians to be allowed out.“We of course continue to ...

Timberwolves: Jaden McDaniels’ first game back from calf injury was a good one

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:47:25 GMT

One positive from Minnesota’s debacle Monday in Atlanta was the return of Jaden McDaniels. The wing — playing in his first game after straining his calf in the preseason opener in Abu Dhabi — finished with 12 points on 5 for 6 shooting while serving as one of the Wolves’ few apt defenders. That all came in 24 minutes, as McDaniels is playing limited minutes while working himself back.“He looked good,” Timberwolves coach Chris Finch told reporters. “It was unfortunate he was on a minutes restriction, because we really could’ve used him out there guarding (Dejounte) Murray, but he spent the bulk of his minutes guarding (Trae) Young and he did a good job.”McDaniels said it “felt good to be back, just playing basketball.” He noted he found a good rhythm early. The early buckets helped, as did the Timberwolves’ ramp-up strategy.“I’ve been playing a little bit before I got to play in a game — like playing in stay-in-shape league (after practice) and stuff, so I’ve been able to hoop a litt...

Zeynep Tufekci: Past lies about war in the Middle East are getting in the way of the truth today

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:47:25 GMT

Moshe Lavi, whose relatives have been taken hostage by Hamas, recently talked to a group of New York Times journalists about his family’s agony.His pained voice turned to anger when he recounted encountering disbelief that Hamas committed terrible atrocities when it attacked Israel. Lavi seemed especially bewildered by people “arguing over the semantics” of whether people were beheaded or their heads fell off or even whether there were hostages in the Gaza Strip.In one particularly gruesome twist, there’s been an uproar over whether Hamas had beheaded babies — an unverified claim that President Joe Biden repeated before the White House walked it back and has been subject to much discussion since.Indeed, since Hamas did murder children and take others as hostages, should it get credit if it didn’t also behead them? It’s an appalling thought.Some of this skepticism is surely the result of antisemitism. But that’s not all that’s going on.One key reason for some of the incidents of doub...

Avs coach Jared Bednar says a “little mental break” could be good for goalie Alexandar Georgiev

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:47:25 GMT

The Colorado Avalanche began this season with a desire to play Alexandar Georgiev a little less after he carried so much of the workload near the end of last season, but the early-season schedule has allowed him to play every game so far.That streak of eight straight starts will end Wednesday night when the Avs welcome the St. Louis Blues to Ball Arena. Ivan Prosvetov, acquired on waivers just before the regular season began, is going to make his first start.Georgiev began the season with six straight wins, and still leads the NHL in that category. The Avs have dropped back-to-back games without scoring a goal, but the coaching staff saw a chance to finally give their No. 1 goalie a break.“We’ve discussed it over the last few starts, especially,” Bednar said after practice Tuesday. “At 6-0, you’re kinda like, ‘Well, this isn’t that taxing of a schedule.’ Then you get the extra day in Buffalo. But now I think his last two games probably...

Kiszla: Do Sean Payton and crazy-rich Waltons have the stomach for rebuilding the Broncos?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:47:25 GMT

There were 12,281 good reasons the Broncos didn’t blow up a last-place team at the NFL trade deadline, all of them as conspicuous in their absence from a stunning upset of Kansas City as no-show Taylor Swift.The crazy-rich Waltons didn’t spend $4.65 billion on a sports franchise, then double down on a bid for greatness with outrageous investments in quarterback Russell Wilson and coach Sean Payton, only to become a league laughing stock and look like football novices without a clue on how to succeed in the NFLWhile there were undoubtedly multiple factors why receiver Jerry Jeudy, linebacker Josey Jewell and a host of teammates rumored to be on the trade block are still here in Denver, there’s a whiff of unavoidable truth in the air.It smells as if the most loyal fans in sports have the Broncos running a wee bit scared.At no time in the last 50 years has our local NFL franchise held such a tenuous grip on Denver as a Broncos town, as evidenced by more than 12,000 empty seats in Empow...
