MONTREAL – MTY Food Group Inc. is raising its quarterly dividend by 18 per cent.

The franchisor and operator of restaurants says it will now pay a quarterly dividend of 33 cents per share up from 28 cents.

Shares in the company behind many mall food court favourites will have an annual yield of about 2.7 per cent based on their closing price of $48.91 on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Tuesday.

Bombers close but not good enough

REGINA — The stage was set for the type of season-altering moment that can lift a franchise in a way that is tough to fully quantify, yet easy to identify.

A six-play, 66-yard drive during the final 39 seconds of regulation time was capped by Zach Collaros finding Dorian Singer in the corner of the end zone for an eight-yard touchdown strike with no time left on the clock, momentarily silencing the largest crowd to witness a football game inside Mosaic Stadium on Sunday night in the 61st edition of the Labour Day Classic.

But the converted major had only helped the Winnipeg Blue Bombers tie the contest to force overtime.

Eight plays and a penalty for a time-clock violation later, the Blue Bombers were left to lament what might have been in what became a 32-26 loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

US tourism groups want to win Canadian visitors back. A testy trade war isn’t helping

Rio Yamat, The Associated Press 7 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 5:03 PM CDT

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Appeals from American tourism organizations seemed to be everywhere Josh Loewen looked over the last year. Billboards and banners proclaimed a state or city's love for Canada. Online and social media ads offered special deals for travelers from north of the border.

As a Vancouver resident and marketing executive himself, Loewen said he understands the conciliatory overtures. The number of Canadians traveling to the United States plunged after President Donald Trump returned to office with remarks about making Canada the 51st state. An acrimonious trade war between the two countries now is threatening to reinforce the informal boycott just as it appeared to be easing slightly.

"It’s such a big ask right now,” Loewen, 45, said of the U.S. tourism industry's attempts to woo Canadians like him back before a new president occupies the White House. “It’s just a wasted effort.”

Relations between the U.S. and Canadian governments have deteriorated sharply since their trade negotiations collapsed last month. Trump imposed import taxes of up to 50% on a range of Canadian products. Canada’s government responded in kind. Trump ordered the U.S. government to change the name of border-spanning Lake Ontario to “Lake America.” Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney dismissed insults from members of Trump's Cabinet as childish and undignified.

REGINA – Jermarcus Hardrick knows exactly what kind of battle he is in for on Sunday in the 61st edition of the Labour Day Classic.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders right tackle has ample experience lining up opposite Winnipeg Blue Bombers defensive end Willie Jefferson, both as teammates and opponents during the past decade and change.

In this pivotal matchup between Prairie rivals jockeying for position in the CFL West Division, this head-to-head battle in the trenches figures to be must-see TV.

“Willie is one of my best friends, one of the best players in the league. It’s amazing to see what he’s doing on film, what he’s always done on film,” said Hardrick, who spent eight seasons with the Blue Bombers before joining the Roughriders in 2024 as a free agent. “With the way that you know he plays and what he can do to a team with his energy and knowing that’s on the other side from you all game, that’s a big challenge that you look forward to.

U of M study shows female entrepreneurs have it tough on dating market

Jen Zoratti 6 minute read 10:00 AM CDT

Xiumei Li had a friend who had been on the dating scene for a while.

He’d been seeing an impressive woman, a startup founder building a successful business. She was a good conversationalist. She was interesting.

She sounded great. So why didn’t it work out?

Some gentle prodding revealed he was intimidated by her, but also felt that “there was a gap between what he expected for a partner versus what this female entrepreneur had to offer,” Li says.
