Saskatchewan Roughriders sign all-star running back Ka'Deem Carey
REGINA — The Saskatchewan Roughriders have signed all-star running back Ka'Deem Carey, the CFL club announced Monday. Carey was a CFL East all-star with Toronto last season after rushing for a team-high 1,060 yards with seven touchdowns. He had 79 yards and a TD in the Argonauts' 41-24 Grey Cup victory over Winnipeg. Advertisement However, he was among Toronto's final round of cuts before the start of the season. Before joining Toronto, Carey spent four seasons with the Calgary Stampeders. He helped the Stamps win a Grey Cup as a rookie in 2018 and led the CFL in rushing in both 2021 and 2022, earning a CFL all-star nod in the latter season. Over 62 regular-season games, the 32-year-old from Tucson, Ariz., has totalled 3,915 rushing yards and 26 touchdowns. The Roughriders also added American linebacker Braxton Hill and American offensive lineman Darius Washington. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 9, 2025. The Canadian Press

Montreal officials say they've left no stone unturned to prepare for Grand Prix
MONTREAL — City officials and organizers of this weekend's Grand Prix in Montreal say they're ready for the more than 350,000 people expected at the Formula One race. They say they've learned lessons from last year's event, which was marked by heavy congestion and poor communication. Provincial and municipal officials said they were both taking steps to scale back or pause construction work or lane closures on some busy highways and streets around the city. The city has also removed 250 orange pylons from its streets and is trying to cover up existing construction sites to improve Montreal's appearance for visitors. Organizers have also launched a new app this year to provide real-time updates on the event. A city spokesperson is still warning that people need to plan their trips around Montreal carefully this weekend, and should bike or take public transit where possible.

Diallo opens grass-court season with win over Vukic at Libema Open
Canadian tennis player Gabriel Diallo kicked off his grass-court season with a 7-5, 7-6 (2) win over Australia's Aleksandar Vukic on Monday at the Libema Open. The 23-year-old from Montreal had 13 aces and no double faults in the win at the ATP/WTA 250 tournament in s'-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands. Diallo had the only break of the match, and crucially it came in the final game of the first set when the Canadian returned to love. He did not have another chance to break in the 92-minute contest. Vukic was not as productive on his chances as Diallo saved all four break points he faced, including two in the 11th game of the second set. Diallo will face another Australian, sixth seed Jordan Thompson, in the second round. In women's doubles action, Canadians Bianca Andreescu and Carson Branstine defeated Russian pair Anastasia Potapova and Ekaterina Alexandrova 7-6 (2), 7-5. They will next face the second-seeded team of Hungary's Fanny Stollar and Russia's Irina Khromacheva. Meanwhile, at the WTA 500 Queen's Club Championships in London, England, Leylah Fernandez of Laval, Que., lost her first-round match 7-6 (4), 6-2 to Germany's Tatjana Maria. Maria fired seven aces and converted three breaks on seven chances, compared to one in four chances for Fernandez. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 9, 2025.
