1 / 10 Donald Trump Donald Trump may have been banned from many social media platforms but that hasn’t stopped him from trending in the Canadian news cycle. From his refusal to accept the U.S. election results, alleged incitement of the Jan. 6 Capitol riots and subsequent impeachment on those grounds to the launch of his own social media company, former U.S. President Trump has dominated Canadian news this year.

Round 11 of the NHL Yahoo Cup is running later than planned after the league decided to take an earlier-than-expected holiday pause last week. With NHL action now back, so is the free-to-enter tournament which allows you to compete for a share of $5,000.

Here are the lineups I recommend playing in Round 11 of the Yahoo Cup. Option 1: Fantastic Source link

In 2021, the movie industry deployed multiple experiments to combat the pandemic, primarily through hybrid streaming releases.  But it looks like 2022 will be a year of back to basics for studios, even as the Omicron variant rears its head. The at-home vs. theatrical fight first made waves at the end of 2020, after Warner Bros. (T) announced that all of its 2021 films will have a day-and-date release on HBO Max, in addition to a cinematic rollout.  The studio kept that promise throughout the… Source link

Like many of us, Cathie Wood has had a crazy 2021. Investors in her flagship fund might argue that the year was even crazier. Ark Innovation (ARKK), Wood’s main ETF, is poised to end 2021 down by nearly 25%, even as the S&P 500 is up by about the same amount. But the Ark Invest CEO is staying the course with bold bets on high-flying tech companies and chiding critics who commit to benchmarks “unlikely to generate even average returns during the next 10 years” — even as her own… Source link

Brandon Brown is now choosing to embrace a right-wing slogan that took off after he won at Talladega in October. Less than two weeks ago, the Xfinity Series driver lamented to The New York Times that he was unable to get sponsorship because of the “Let’s go Brandon” meme that had become an inside joke in conservative circles. Thursday, Brown announced a sponsorship for his car from LGBCoin, a cryptocurrency with “no intrinsic value” that’s attempting to profit off of the slogan.  Brown’s… Source link

The best of the Cincinnati Bengals is hard to ignore.  When the Bengals have been clicking this season, it makes you wonder how high their ceiling is. Last week, the Bengals blasted the Baltimore Ravens 41-21, completing an impressive season sweep. The Ravens were shorthanded, but Joe Burrow throwing for 525 yards was still eye-opening. The Bengals have looked great at times. Consistency hasn’t been a strong suit though.  If the Bengals want to be taken seriously, this is the type of game… Source link

Tim Hortons’ chief marketing officer says customers should expect an increased focus on quality through 2022, part of a multi-year plan to bring “swagger back” to the iconic Canadian coffee chain. In an interview with Yahoo Finance Canada, Hope Bagozzi says the next year will see the company continue to push its so-called back-to-basics strategy, even as it seeks to engage new customers with products like Timbiebs. “It’s going to be more of continuing to raise the bar on taste and quality,”… Source link

U.S. stock futures ticked up ahead of open on Thursday after the S&P 500 and Dow each extended a rally to close at all-time highs amid a thinly-traded last week of 2021 on Wall Street. Contracts on the Dow, S&P, and Nasdaq were up modestly as the markets looked to build on earlier gains.  This week’s market swings were exaggerated by the low trading volumes. Economic and earnings calendars remain light for the final two trading days of the year, though investors will turn their attention on… Source link
