2025 Calgary Stampede narrowly misses attendance record
The Calgary Stampede came to an end on Sunday, following 10 days of rodeo, rides and for the most part, decent weather. The Stampede was about 130,000 people shy of breaking the existing record heading into the final Sunday, and while it was close, the stampede just fell short of breaking last year's record. 121,704 people passed through the gates on Sunday, bringing the total attendance to 1,470,288 — about 7,000 fewer than in 2024. 7:46 The Calgary Stampede's cultural significance When asked once again about capping daily attendance, Stampede CEO Joel Crowley said at this point, that's still not needed since even on days where families can take advantage of free admission, they typically leave in the afternoon — replaced by those taking in the evening's entertainment.

'Hello, fellow cons. I am very, very sorry to tell you that Ive (sic) been diagnosed with viral…' he began in a video posted to SharkCon's Instagram account, before trailing off as his wife, Svetlana Erokhin, is heard saying offscreen 'bronchitis.' The Oscar winner, tucked in the bed with a Jaws blanket, continued: 'I've been told by my doctors I cannot fly, and I would have to fly five hours to get (to SharkCon).' The Mr. Holland's Opus star added: 'I'm terribly sorry because I had planned to be there and had been looking forward to it but I'm unable to do so. 'I don't want to get anyone else sick, and I don't want to get sicker myself. I feel terrible about not showing up, and I'd feel worse about exposing you to this, apparently, very viral illness.' In the caption, convention organizers noted that refunds would be issued for those who pre-paid for autographs and photo-ops with the actor. Dreyfuss promised that 'there will be other times, and I will make it my business to show up.' Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

Trump, unfazed by boos, crashes trophy ceremony at Club World Cup final
U.S. President Donald Trump weathered a mix of boos and cheers during the FIFA Club World Cup final at MetLife Stadium on Sunday following Chelsea's dominating victory over Paris Saint-Germain F.C., and even stuck around when the team lifted the trophy. Trump and FIFA president Gianni Infantino joined the players on the field after Chelsea's 3-0 win over PSG to congratulate them, present PSG with its runner-up medals and hand Chelsea the championship prize. During the ceremony, Trump remained on stage, but was swiftly swallowed up by the players' frenzied celebrations as Chelsea captain Reece James lifted the cup and Infantino stepped aside. Earlier in the day, the president and his wife, Melania Trump, were greeted by cheers upon their arrival at the venue in East Rutherford, N.J. Story continues below advertisement Trump waved to the crowd and pumped his fist as he entered his luxury box, where he and Melania watched the match alongside Infantino and his wife, Leena Al Ashqar.

Attorney General Pam Bondi, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, NFL great Tom Brady and media mogul Rupert Murdoch were all seen in the president's box. In just over a year, MetLife will host the 2026 World Cup final, with earlier round matches to be played across North America, including in Toronto and Vancouver.

The Paris team added the Coupe de France by beating Reims 3-0 on May 24, then romped over Inter Milan seven days later in the Champions League final. Story continues below advertisement Sunday's match fell on the first anniversary of the assassination attempt Trump survived in Butler, Pa., while campaigning for president. 'It remains my firm conviction that God alone saved me that day for a righteous purpose: to restore our beloved Republic to greatness and to rescue our Nation from those who seek its ruin,' Trump said in a statement released Sunday night after he returned to Washington. — With files from The Associated Press
