The Hockey Canada sexual-assault trial is over, but conversations about the sport’s culture continue

31 juillet 2025 à 05:00

For $35, aspiring young hockey players can purchase a T-shirt from a Canadian brand that has become popular in rinks across the country, with a slogan rooted in language that degrades women and girls as sex objects.

Using veiled locker-room slang, the shirts read: “Barduzz, Gettin Huzz.” Loosely translated, it means “Scoring goals, getting hoes.” A hoodie version is also available in children’s sizes.

30 juillet 2025 à 16:42
According to Pierre Gratton, president of the Mining Association of Canada, the U.S. is unable to completely cut off copper imports from Canada because it does not produce enough for its own manufacturing needs.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday imposed hefty new tariffs on imported copper products, though the duties largely spare Canada’s mining and refining industry.

Mr. Trump set the tariff for a range of copper products at 50 per cent starting Aug. 1, citing national security concerns for his latest attempt to bolster his country’s manufacturing sector by raising trade barriers.
