Canada’s Greens say Fredericton riding association de-registered because of ‘error’

Eli Ridder, The Canadian Press 1 minute read 9:35 AM CDT

FREDERICTON - The Green Party of Canada says it’s working to regain registered status for a key riding association in New Brunswick.

The Greens have confirmed to The Canadian Press the Fredericton-area association was de-registered because of an "administrative error."

Canada’s chief electoral officer announced on Saturday that the Fredericton-Oromocto riding association had been de-registered.

The riding was called Fredericton before its boundaries were expanded for the 2025 general election to include more of nearby Oromocto.

New cycling star Paul Seixas to race the Tour de France at 19, with a whole country watching

Samuel Petrequin, The Associated Press 3 minute read Updated: 6:18 AM CDT

Cycling's rising star Paul Seixas will compete at the Tour de France in July, with a whole country hoping that he can end a four decades drought for French riders.

The 19-year-old Frenchman, widely regarded as a potential great and France’s best hope for a future Tour de France winner, announced his participation at cycling's showpiece race in a video released by his CMA CGM Decathlon team.

Seixa's precocity is rare. He has been in an impressive form this season, finishing runner-up to four-time Tour de France winner Tadej Pogačar at the Strade Bianche and Liege-Bastogne-Liege. He also became the youngest winner of the Flèche Wallonne.

“It’s a childhood dream of mine, something I’ve often imagined, and now it’s very close to becoming reality,” said Seixas, a versatile rider with excellent climbing and time trialing skills. “I’m only 19, but as I’ve already said, age is neither a barrier nor an excuse.”

Golden Tempo’s victory in Kentucky Derby most-viewed on record, averaging 19.6 million

The Associated Press 2 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 7:59 PM CDT

STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) — Golden Tempo's victory in Saturday's 152nd running of the Kentucky Derby averaged 19.6 million on NBC and Peacock, making it the most-viewed Run for the Roses on record since Nielsen began tracking average audiences in 1988.

According to preliminary data from Nielsen and Adobe Analytics, the audience peaked at 24.4 million from 7-7:15 p.m. EDT. Post time for the race was 7:03 p.m. Jose Ortiz rallied Golden Tempo from 12th as they approached the stretch to win by a neck over Renegade and make Cherie DeVaux the first woman to train a Kentucky Derby winner.

It is the Derby's largest audience since Sunday Silence's 1989 victory averaged 18.5 million on ABC. This year's Derby audience also was an 11% increase over last year. NBC began carrying the race in 2001.

Some of the increase can be attributed to a change in the way viewers are counted. Nielsen began using its Big Data + Panel methodology for all events last September with the start of the current television season.

Search for American tourist’s body in Banff National Park waterfall continues: RCMP

The Canadian Press 2 minute read Yesterday at 6:26 PM CDT

BANFF NATIONAL PARK - Mounties in Alberta say an American tourist who jumped into a rapidly moving waterfall in Banff National Park is likely dead.

RCMP spokesman Cpl. Mathew Howell says efforts to recover the 25-year-old man's body from the water at Johnston Canyon entered its second day Sunday.

Howell says the man, who was visiting Alberta with friends from Pennsylvania, jumped into the water on Friday, just after 6:30 p.m., and didn't resurface.

He says Parks Canada hasn't been able to send divers due to the dangerous terrain and is instead using cameras, but strong currents caused by spring melt are making it difficult to see under water.

Sabrina Ionescu will have an MRI after injuring her left ankle in Liberty’s preseason win over Sun

The Associated Press 2 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 7:00 PM CDT

UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) — Sabrina Ionescu was set to have an MRI on Monday after injuring her left ankle Sunday in the New York Liberty's preseason win over the Connecticut Sun.

The Liberty are hopeful it's nothing major. The regular season starts Friday night with New York hosting Connecticut.

First-year Liberty coach Chris DeMarco said he was remaining “positive” that the injury was not severe. It’s the same ankle that Ionescu hurt early in her rookie year, an injury that required season-ending surgery.

The star guard landed awkwardly during a drive to the basket and rolled the ankle early in the third quarter at Connecticut. She appeared to get her feet tangled with the Sun's Diamond Miller as she went up for a reverse layup.

Yukon issues flood watch as ice breaks up along Klondike River near Dawson City

Yukon issues flood watch as ice breaks up along Klondike River near Dawson City

The Canadian Press 2 minute read Yesterday at 4:03 PM CDT

DAWSON CITY - The Yukon government has issued a flood watch for the Klondike River near Dawson City as warm temperatures hasten the ice breakup, while a stretch of the Alaska Highway is closed due to flooding in another area.

The flood watch says the Klondike River is open from Rock Creek to its mouth in Dawson City, but several ice jams and ice sheets remain upstream.

It says one ice jam near Henderson Corner is causing backwater flooding, and there's potential the ice could move downstream and affect additional properties.

The jam is not expected to reform below Rock Creek once the ice is released, and while the bulletin says water levels will temporarily rise, flooding is not likely.

Police say they responded to reports of a shooting near the city's centre on Saturday night and found a man with serious gunshot injuries.

Police say they determined the injured man had actually shot himself during an attempted home invasion.

Hardie stars with ball and bat to lead Peshawar to first PSL cricket title since 2017

The Associated Press 4 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 3:28 PM CDT

LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) — Aaron Hardie’s brilliant all-round performance led Peshawar Zalmi to its first Pakistan Super League cricket title since 2017 with a five-wicket win over newcomer Hyderabad Kingsmen in the final on Sunday.

Hardie grabbed 4-27 to bowl out Hyderabad for a below-par 129 all out in 18 overs with Saim Ayub (54) scoring a fighting half century. Hardie then hit a fluent 56 not out off 39 balls and anchored Peshawar to 130-5 in 15.2 overs in front of a packed crowd at Gaddafi Stadium.

“It’s a very big achievement for me, for Peshawar Zalmi and all the fans,” said Peshawar captain Babar Azam after winning his first PSL title as skipper. “Throughout the tournament we’ve performed really well as a team … every player executed the plans they were given in batting, bowling, and fielding. Our plan was to go match by match.”

Peshawar, which won the toss and chose to chase, had slumped to 40-4 inside the first five overs after losing tournament top run-scorer Babar for a golden duck while Mohammad Haris, Kusal Mendis and Michael Bracewell also fell for single-digit scores.

Cherie DeVaux must decide if Golden Tempo will run Preakness for a shot at the Triple Crown

Gary B. Graves, The Associated Press 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:29 PM CDT

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Soon after Cherie DeVaux's wait-and-see answer Sunday morning about her Kentucky Derby winner's next stop on the Triple Crown trail, an official from the Preakness called to congratulate the history-making trainer and invite Golden Tempo to the series' middle jewel in Maryland.

Getting an official invitation checked off one detail for DeVaux, who on Saturday became the first woman to train a Kentucky Derby winner. Golden Tempo's Preakness fate could be answered later this week as DeVaux monitors the horse's recovery from a remarkable yet demanding rally from last place that won the 152nd Derby at Churchill Downs by a neck as a 23-1 long shot.

“As long as he's in tip-top shape, we'll talk about it,” said DeVaux, who vanned Golden Tempo over to Keeneland in Lexington, Kentucky, the morning after the race. “It is on the table, but it's really up to him.”

The usual post-Derby dilemma for trainers and owners is whether their horses are up for the two-week turnaround at the Preakness. This year, the race is at Laurel Park on May 16 while the traditional Pimlico Race Course is rebuilt. The Triple Crown’s middle jewel will go off at a shorter 1 3/16-mile distance with a presumably smaller field.
