TikTok is challenging the federal government’s order to shut down its operations in Canada. The company filed documents in Federal Court in Vancouver last Thursday. In November, Ottawa ordered the dissolution of TikTok’s Canadian business after a national security review of the Chinese company behind the social media platform. That means TikTok must “wind down” its operations in Canada, though the app will continue to be available to Canadians. TikTok is asking the court to overturn the government’s order and to put a pause on the order going into effect while the court hears the case. It is claiming the decision was “unreasonable” and “driven by improper purposes.”50 jili login download 。

A fugitive gains fame in New Orleans eluding dart guns and netsAnthony Edwards’ leadership had to take another step forward this week for TimberwolvesFrustrations grow over mysterious U.S. drone sightings, lack of answers

WASHINGTON (AP) — For years, Pat Verhaeghe didn’t think highly of Donald Trump as a leader. Then Verhaeghe began seeing more of Trump’s campaign speeches online and his appearances at sporting events. There was even the former president’s pairing with Bryson DeChambeau as part of the pro golfer’s YouTube channel series to shoot an under-50 round of golf while engaging in chitchat with his partner. “I regret saying this, but a while ago I thought he was an idiot and that he wouldn’t be a good president,” said the 18-year-old first-time voter. “I think he’s a great guy now.” Verhaeghe isn't alone among his friends in suburban Detroit or young men across America. Although much of the electorate shifted right to varying degrees in 2024, young men were one of the groups that swung sharply toward Trump. More than half of men under 30 supported Trump, according to AP VoteCast , a survey of more than 120,000 voters, while Democrat Joe Biden had won a similar share of this group four years earlier. White men under 30 were solidly in Trump’s camp this year — about 6 in 10 voted for Trump — while young Latino men were split between the two candidates. Most Black men under 30 supported Democrat Kamala Harris, but about one-third were behind Trump. Young Latino men’s views of the Democratic Party were much more negative than in 2020, while young Black men’s views of the party didn’t really move. About 6 in 10 Latino men under 30 had a somewhat or very favorable view of the Democrats in 2020, which fell to about 4 in 10 this year. On the other hand, about two-thirds of young Black men had a favorable view of the Democrats this year, which was almost identical to how they saw the party four years ago. “Young Hispanic men, and really young men in general, they want to feel valued," said Rafael Struve, deputy communications director for Bienvenido, a conservative group that focused on reaching young Hispanic voters for Republicans this year. “They're looking for someone who fights for them, who sees their potential and not just their struggles.” Struve cited the attempted assassination of Trump during a July rally in Pennsylvania as one of the catalyzing moments for Trump’s image among many young men. Trump, Struve said, was also able to reach young men more effectively by focusing on nontraditional platforms like podcasts and digital media outlets. “Getting to hear from Trump directly, I think, really made all the difference," Struve said of the former president's appearances on digital media platforms and media catering to Latino communities, like town halls and business roundtables Trump attended in Las Vegas and Miami. READ: Not only did Trump spend three hours on Joe Rogan's chart-topping podcast, but he took up DeChambeau's “Break 50” challenge for the golfer's more than 1.6 million YouTube subscribers. Trump already had an edge among young white men four years ago, although he widened the gap this year. About half of white men under 30 supported Trump in 2020, and slightly less than half supported Biden. Trump's gains among young Latino and Black men were bigger. His support among both groups increased by about 20 percentage points, according to AP VoteCast — and their feelings toward Trump got warmer, too. It wasn’t just Trump. The share of young men who identified as Republicans in 2024 rose as well, mostly aligning with support for Trump across all three groups. “What is most alarming to me is that the election is clear that America has shifted right by a lot,” said William He, founder of Dream For America, a liberal group that works to turn out young voters and supported Harris’ presidential bid. With his bombastic demeanor and a policy agenda centered on a more macho understanding of culture , Trump framed much of his campaign as a pitch to men who felt scorned by the country’s economy, culture and political system. Young women also slightly swung toward the former president, though not to the degree of their male counterparts. It's unclear how many men simply did not vote this year. But there's no doubt the last four years brought changes in youth culture and how political campaigns set out to reach younger voters. Democrat Kamala Harris' campaign rolled out policy agendas tailored to Black and Latino men, and the campaign enlisted a range of leaders in Black and Hispanic communities to make the case for the vice president. Her campaign began with a flurry of enthusiasm from many young voters, epitomized in memes and the campaign's embrace of pop culture trends like the pop star Charli XCX's “brat” aesthetic . Democrats hoped to channel that energy into their youth voter mobilization efforts. “I think most young voters just didn’t hear the message,” said Santiago Mayer, executive director of Voters of Tomorrow, a liberal group that engages younger voters. Mayer said the Harris campaign’s pitch to the country was “largely convoluted” and centered on economic messaging that he said wasn’t easily conveyed to younger voters who were not already coming to political media. “And I think that the policies themselves were also very narrow and targeted when what we really needed was a simple, bold economic vision,” said Mayer. Trump also embraced pop culture by appearing at UFC fights, football games and appearing alongside comedians, music stars and social media influencers. His strategists believed that the former president’s ability to grab attention and make his remarks go viral did more for the campaign than paid advertisements or traditional media appearances. Trump's campaign also heavily cultivated networks of online conservative platforms and personalities supportive of him while also engaging a broader universe of podcasts, streaming sites, digital media channels and meme pages open to hearing him. “The right has been wildly successful in infiltrating youth political culture online and on campus in the last couple of years, thus radicalizing young people towards extremism,” said He, who cited conservative activist groups like Turning Point USA as having an outsize impact in online discourse. “And Democrats have been running campaigns in a very old fashioned way. The battleground these days is cultural and increasingly on the internet.” Republicans may lose their broad support if they don't deliver on improving Americans' lives, Struve cautioned. Young men, especially, may drift from the party in a post-Trump era if the party loses the president-elect's authenticity and bravado. Bienvenido, for one group, will double down in the coming years to solidify and accelerate the voting pattern shifts seen this year, Struve said. “We don’t want this to be a one and done thing,” he said. ___ Associated Press writer Joey Cappelletti in Lansing, Michigan, and AP polling editor Amelia Thomson-DeVeaux contributed to this report.

This in itself is nothing out of the ordinary but it wasn't always certain. Like Arne Slot, who enters Sunday's away Premier League match at Southampton with two yellow cards to his name, Guardiola went into the eventual 4-0 loss to Tottenham on the brink of a ban. Given how firey matches between Spurs and City have been in recent times, it was not a given that Guardiola would be able to simply avoid being booked. He is often extremely animated during City matches no matter the state of play. When his side conspired to draw 3-3 with Tottenham last season he and Erling Haaland were left aghast and furious late on. Similarly, when it comes to facing Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp , Guardiola has been at his most energetic and expressive. It does not and has not always transpired to being a positive thing either. The now memed 'twice' image of Guardiola losing it on Merseyside was in a defeat for his side, for example. City having Guardiola there to look over closely is surely an advantage, though, especially at a time whereby the team's confidence is so brittle. On Saturday night they fell to a fifth defeat in a row, the first time that has happened at the club since 2006. It left them five points behind Liverpool already with the chance of that rising to eight. When the two meet next weekend that gap could be extended to up to 11 points . Guardiola and City know they cannot afford it to get that far. For him to have been within a simple miss step of being in the stands for the game is genuinely massive and an undercurrent to the game which has gone without much attention. Managers and bookings do not go together as commonly as players, hence why the bar for a ban is three rather than five. The impact is still significant, especially with Guardiola knowing in the back of his mind (or perhaps quite near the front of it), that it is Liverpool next. It may or may not have been in his thoughts directly as Ange Postecoglou lead Tottenham to a famous win at the Etihad Stadium. Spurs crushed their opponents on the break and slided through a non-existent midfield time and time again. Instead of being a ball of fury in the technical area, Guardiola was mystified and downbeat. He wasn't shown a third yellow card of the season and therefore avoids a scenario in which he would have been banned for the Liverpool game. To that extent it is job done but that is a minor victory on a day of questions for the Spaniard. Just over 12 months ago he wasn't as careful. Ultimately it didn't make a massive difference but this was something else. Premier League managers are being punished more and more by referees and fourth officials. Already this season there have been four (Andoni Iraola, Steve Cooper, Nuno Espirito Santo, and Russell Martin) to serve a suspension. Slot would become the fifth when City visit should he be picked up for anything on Sunday at St Mary's. He is currently level with Fabian Hurzeler, Enzo Maresca, Marco Silva, Julen Lopetegui, and Gary O'Neil, plus Guardiola, of course, on two. That means over half the league's head coaches have at least two yellow cards across the opening 12 matchdays. This is the tightrope Guardiola walked on Saturday and will continue to balance on in the Liverpool match. Just getting to that game will be a boost for City when they need it most.Prepare for uncertain, shock-prone future, Bank of Canada head tells B.C. crowd

Eagles seek 7th straight win while Rams try to keep pace in crowded NFC West raceUnder-fire manager SWEARS live on Amazon Prime as Gabby Logan laughs awkwardly weeks after she was forced to apologise

Bank of Canada governor Tiff Macklem says the central bank is preparing for a future that looks more uncertain and more prone to shocks. In a speech to the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade, he said Monday structural changes are underway in the world including demographic shifts, technological changes, decarbonization and a move away from globalization. “We need to use the pandemic experience to prepare for future crises,” Macklem said in a prepared text of his speech. To that end, Macklem says the Bank of Canada is working to learn what it can from how the economy reacted to the pandemic and in its aftermath. The Bank of Canada is conducting a review of the policy actions it took to restore financial stability and support the economy during the pandemic that it plans to publish along with an assessment of an independent panel of experts. Macklem said the spike in inflation in 2022 was a reminder that even though inflation was relatively low and stable for 30 years leading up to the pandemic, central banks cannot take public trust for granted. “All of a sudden, people couldn’t afford the things they need. And while inflation is low once again, many prices are still a lot higher than they were before the pandemic. So people feel ripped off. And that erodes public trust in our economic system,” he said in his speech. The Bank of Canada has cut its key policy interest rate five times this year including last week when it reduced the benchmark by a half a percentage point to 3.25 per cent. Macklem says the bank will be evaluating the need for further reductions in the policy rate one decision at a time and anticipates a more gradual approach to monetary policy if the economy evolves as expected. Statistics Canada reported last month that the annual inflation rate was two per cent in Ontario, hitting the Bank of Canada’s target. The speech by Macklem came ahead of the release of the November inflation report on Tuesday. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 16, 2024.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Will Howard passed for two touchdowns and rushed for another, TreVeyon Henderson ran for a score and No. 2 Ohio State beat previously undefeated No. 5 Indiana 38-15 on Saturday. All Ohio State (10-1, 7-1 Big Ten, CFP No. 2) has to do now is beat Michigan at home next Saturday and it will earn a return to the Big Ten championship game for the first time since 2020 and get a rematch with No. 1 Oregon. The Ducks beat Ohio State 32-31 in a wild one back on Oct. 12. The Hoosiers (10-1, 7-1, No. 5 CFP) had their best chance to beat the Buckeyes for the first time since 1988 but were hurt by special teams mistakes and disrupted by an Ohio State defense that sacked quarterback Kurtis Rourke five times. “In life, all good things come to an end,” Indiana coach Curt Cignetti said. Late in the first half, Indiana punter James Evans fumbled a snap and was buried at his own 7-yardline with the Buckeyes taking over. That turned quickly into a 4-yard TD run by Henderson that gave the Buckeyes a 14-7 lead. Early in the second half, Caleb Downs fielded an Evans punt at the Ohio State 21, raced down the right sideline, cut to the middle and outran the coverage for a TD that put the Buckeyes up 21-7. It was the first time a Buckeye returned a punt for a touchdown since 2014. Howard finished 22 for 26 for 201 yards. Emeka Egbuka had seven catches for 80 yards and a TD. “Our guys just played with a chip today, and that’s the way you got to play the game of football,” Ohio State coach Ryan Day said. Indiana scored on its first possession of the game and its last, both short runs by Ty Son Lawson, who paced the Hoosiers with 79 rushing yards. Rourke was 8 for 18 for 68 yards. “We had communication errors, pass (protection), every time we dropped back to pass, something bad happened," Cignetti said. Indiana's 151 total yards was its lowest of the season. And it was the most points surrendered by the Hoosier's defense. The takeaway Indiana: Its special season was blemished by the Buckeyes, who beat the Hoosiers for the 30th straight time. Indiana was eyeing its first conference crown since sharing one with two other teams in 1967. That won't happen now. “Ohio State deserved to win,” Cignetti said. “They had those (third quarter scores), and we just couldn’t respond.” Ohio State: Didn't waste the opportunities presented by the Hoosiers when they got sloppy. The Buckeyes led 14-7 at the break and took control in the second half. An offensive line patched together because of multiple injuries performed surprisingly well. “We know what was at stake," Day said. “We don't win this game, and we have no chance to go to Indianapolis and play in the Big Ten championship. And that's real. We've had that approach for the last few weeks now, more than that.” Poll implications Some voters were obviously unsure of Indiana because it hadn't played a nationally ranked team before Ohio State. After this one, the Hoosiers will drop. All about Will Howard made history by completing 80% of his passes for the sixth time this season. No other Ohio State quarterback has done that. He completed his first 14 passes in a row and finished with a 85% completion rate. “I think Buckeye nation is now seeing, after 11 games, that this guy is a winner, he's tough, he cares about his teammates, he's a leader,” Day said. Up next Indiana hosts Purdue in the regular-season finale next Saturday. Ohio State hosts rival Michigan on Saturday.

WNBA stars inspire Unit 5 junior high girls basketball teams eyeing state finalsPHILADELPHIA (AP) — Former Temple basketball standout Hysier Miller sat for a long interview with the NCAA as it looked into concerns about unusual gambling activity, his lawyer said Friday amid reports a federal probe is now under way. “Hysier Miller fully cooperated with the NCAA’s investigation. He sat for a five-hour interview and answered every question the NCAA asked. He also produced every document the NCAA requested,” lawyer Jason Bologna said in a statement. “Hysier did these things because he wanted to play basketball this season, and he is devastated that he cannot.” Miller, a three-year starter from South Philadelphia, transferred to Virginia Tech this spring. However, the Hokies released him last month due to what the program called “circumstances prior to his enrollment at Virginia Tech.” Bologna declined to confirm that a federal investigation had been opened, as did spokespeople for both the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Philadelphia. ESPN, citing unnamed sources, reported Thursday that authorities were investigating whether Miller bet on games he played in at Temple, and whether he adjusted his performance accordingly. “Hysier Miller has overcome more adversity in his 22 years than most people face in their lifetime. He will meet and overcome whatever obstacles lay ahead," Bologna said. Miller scored eight points — about half his season average of 15.9 — in a 100-72 loss to UAB on March 7 that was later flagged for unusual betting activity. Temple said it has been aware of those allegations since they became public in March, and has been cooperative. “We have been fully responsive and cooperative with the NCAA since the moment we learned of the investigation,” Temple President John Fry said in a letter Thursday to the school community. However, Fry said Temple had not received any requests for information from state or federal law enforcement agencies. He vowed to cooperate fully if they did. “Coaches, student-athletes and staff members receive mandatory training on NCAA rules and regulations, including prohibitions on involvement in sports wagering," Fry said in the letter. The same week the Temple-UAB game raised concerns, Loyola (Maryland) said it had removed a person from its basketball program after it became aware of a gambling violation. Temple played UAB again on March 17, losing 85-69 in the finals of the American Athletic Conference Tournament. League spokesman Tom Fenstermaker also declined comment on Friday.

AP college basketball: https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-basketball-poll and https://apnews.com/hub/college-basketballLinda McMahon ’s longtime relationship with her ex-husband Vince McMahon is a complicated one. The couple dated throughout high school and wedded when Linda was 17. Together they founded the sports-entertainment company that eventually became known as World Wrestling Entertainment—WWE for short—that made them billionaires . Below is a look back at the couple’s decades-long relationship, including reports of infidelity, bankruptcy, and, most recently, the announcement of a separation just as Linda is poised to lead the Department of Education as a Donald Trump appointee. ADVERTISEMENT Linda, 76, and Vince, 79, are both natives of North Carolina. Vince had a turbulent childhood and was raised by his mom and numerous stepfathers—including one who abused him and his mother—after his biological dad, the big-shot wrestling promoter Vincent J. McMahon, abandoned the family when he was a baby. Linda, meanwhile, was the only child in a conservative Baptist family. Linda first met Vince when she was 13 and he was 16. They connected through her parents, who worked in the same building as Vince’s mom at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point. Vince said in 2010 that he enjoyed spending time with Linda’s family because her household was filled with “stability and love” and he “wanted more of it.” Linda and Vince started dating while they were in high school, despite their schools—a military academy in Virginia for Vince, a public school near the North Carolina coast for Linda—being hundreds of miles apart. After graduation, Vince moved back to his home state and attended East Carolina University to study marketing. Vince asked Linda to marry him after she graduated high school and they got hitched shortly after, with Linda saying “I do” when she was just 17 in 1966. She then joined Vince in enrolling at East Carolina that same year to study French. Linda graduated from ECU in three years and the couple moved to Maryland. There, Linda worked at a corporate law office where she translated French documents, trained as a paralegal, and studied intellectual property rights. At the same time, Vince said he worked as many as 90 hours a week at a nearby quarry. Vince wanted to be a promoter like his father, who he first met when he was 12, and he invested his earnings into a number of failed business ventures. That included financing a stunt by Evel Knievel and investing in a construction company that Linda said went “belly up.” By 1976, the couple was on the ropes financially. They briefly relied on food stamps and, by the year’s end, filed for bankruptcy. Linda said she watched in agony as her car was repossessed from her driveway while she was pregnant with Stephanie, her second child and only daughter. The McMahon’s house was eventually auctioned off, too. The McMahon’s didn’t let that setback kill their big business dreams. Instead, as Linda explained to CNBC in 2017, they needed to “go right back into it, on the mission and the plan and the strategy that we knew and understood.” That strategy, it turns out, was pro-wrestling. Vince had already been working for his father’s World Wide Wrestling Federation in a number of roles—as a promoter, play-by-play commentator, and as a ring announcer—but they made their big break in the early 1980s when the couple officially founded Titan Sports. That company, which later was renamed to the WWE, employed Linda as its “co-chief executive” and exploded in popularity after the McMahon’s purchased the WWF in 1982 from Vince’s ailing father. The McMahon’s transformed professional wrestling from an industry controlled by regional promoters and turned it into a national spectacle, with super stars like Hulk Hogan and The Rock central to its takeover. The first of many scandals in Vince’s career came in the early 1990s. The bombastic CEO was indicted for allegedly overlooking the distribution out steroids to his wrestlers—a charge that could have sent him to prison for up to 11 years. In the trial, wrestlers attributed their drug use to wanting to meet the demands of Vince and their fans. Vince was ultimately acquitted, but the scandal shined a light on the darker side of his rapidly-growing wrestling world. Just prior to the scandal going public, Linda penned a memo to the company’s vice president ordering him to terminate the on-call physician and warn him about imminent charges he faced over steroid distribution. Linda’s political opponents later used this letter—nicknamed the “tip-off” letter—against her during her failed 2010 Senate campaign. Not long after, in 1992, a former referee in the WWF accused Vince of raping her in a limousine after she allegedly refused to give him oral sex. McMahon has long denied that accusation. Fallout from that allegation lingered into the 21st century, with the ex-wrestler Leonard Inzitari corroborating the claim in a 2022 interview with New York magazine. That interview came just after Vince’s accuser, Rita Chatterton, filed a sexual abuse lawsuit that was ultimately settled outside of court. Vince grabbed unsavory headlines again in 2006 after a woman told police the WWE boss had showed her naked photos of himself, groped her, and tried to kiss her inside a Florida tanning salon. The woman allegedly fled in distress to a Papa John’s location at the end of a Boca Raton strip mall before calling authorities. The alleged incident was recorded by police, who wrote in a report that there is “probable cause to believe that Vince McMahon did actually and intentionally touch against the will” of the victim. However, authorities ultimately decided to not press charges against the celeb, who’d been in town for the Royal Rumble in nearby Miami. The former WWE writer, Chris DeJoseph, revealed this year that he was at the McMahon family home for a meeting when the allegation first became public. He said both Linda and Stephanie were peeved. “The meeting was completely cut off,” DeJoseph said . “We were all thrown out. We all had to go home. We got halfway throughout our meeting and that was it, and we didn’t see him for another three days. And I remember Stephanie, I think she was red hot. I think Linda was pretty hot, too.” McMahon denied any wrongdoing through his lawyers in 2006. The McMahons were longtime supporters of Trump and made a pair of donations in 2007 and 2009 that totaled $9 million to his foundation. It was around that time when Trump appeared on Wrestlemania in 2007 and famously shaved off Vince’s hair on live TV. Years later, Linda went as far as donating $6 million to a pro-Trump Super PAC just before Trump was elected to his first term in office. Shortly after winning the election, Trump announced in December 2016 that he’d nominated McMahon to lead the Small Business Administration. She was easily confirmed for the role and served in the position until 2019, when she resigned to lead a Super PAC that sought to get Trump re-elected. Her tenure was widely viewed as successful and was scandal free. Perhaps that’s why she is—so far—the only member from Trump’s first term to be appointed to his cabinet a second time. In the meantime, she’s serving as a co-chair on Trump’s transition team. Perhaps the darkest year for the McMahon family came in 2022. That’s when Vince was slapped with bombshell allegations of sexual assault and secret settlements. The WWE’s board launched a probe into a supposed $3 million settlement McMahon made to a former employee he allegedly had an affair with. The woman, who’d been hired as a paralegal, reportedly saw her salary double once their relationship began. Once it ended, the Wall Street Journal reported that the woman was pressured to sign an agreement that silenced her. That probe opened the floodgates for a deluge of sordid allegations. The WWE’s board said it uncovered that he’d paid a combined $12 million to four women over the years in exchange for their silence over allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct. Among the worst allegations came from a former wrestler who accused Vince of coercing her into performing oral sex on him. When he allegedly pushed for more and the woman declined, she claimed that Vince demoted her and then let her contract expire. He was also accused of sending unsolicited nude photos to a woman in the company. McMahon and WWE declined to comment at the time to the Wall Street Journal . McMahon’s image had been tarnished and pressure grew for him to step down at WWE. He did just that in June, but he was back at the company by January 2023. That second stint didn’t last long. A little over a year later, Vince resigned from his role as CEO of the TKO Group—the name of the merged company between UFC and WWE—after he was hit with more sexual misconduct allegations. Those allegation came from Janel Grant, a woman who worked in WWE’s legal and talent departments. She alleged that Vince had forced her into a sexual relationship—threatening to fire her if she didn’t oblige—and passed around pornographic pictures and videos of her to other men in the company. Vince has denied those accusations. Both Linda and Vince have been named in the most recent sex scandal involving the McMahon name. Five former ring boys accused the couple of inaction in a sex abuse lawsuit. The anonymous men alleged that between the 1970s to the 1990s, the former WWE announcer Melvin Phillips Jr. groomed and sexually assaulted them and other minors—abuse they allege was known about by the company’s executives but was not acted upon. Phillips’ “peculiar and unnatural interest” in young boys prompted the couple to fire the announcer in 1988, the lawsuit said. However, they quickly reinstated him on the condition he “steer clear from kids,” which the lawsuit claims he didn’t. Linda’s lawyer, Laura Brevetti, called the lawsuit’s complaints “baseless” on Wednesday. It was in that very statement that Brevetti revealed Linda and Vince, after nearly six decades together, were separated. “This civil lawsuit based upon thirty-plus year-old allegations is filled with scurrilous lies, exaggerations, and misrepresentations regarding Linda McMahon,” Brevetti said in a statement to the Daily Beast. “The matter at the time was investigated by company attorneys and the FBI, which found no grounds to continue the investigation. Ms. McMahon will vigorously defend against this baseless lawsuit and without doubt ultimately succeed.” The Daily Beast Podcast episodes are released every Thursday.
