G7 protests to be livestreamed to leaders in Kananaskis to give protesters a voice

Law enforcement officials overseeing security at the upcoming G7 leaders summit in Alberta are expecting large protests but plan to make sure they stay peaceful. That includes livestreaming some of the sites to Kananaskis, where leaders from Canada, the United States, France, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, Italy and the European Union will meet from June 15 to 17. 'These three designated G7 demonstration zones will have live audio and video feeds, which will be broadcast to G7 leaders and delegations at the site of the summit in Kananaskis,' said RCMP Chief Supt. David Hall at a media briefing Monday. 'People who want to express themselves, as is their right, can't get close to the leaders, so the leaders won't see and hear the protests. So by establishing that video link, we are helping facilitate that Charter access.'

Why the Oilers-Panthers Stanley Cup showdown would be the NHL's hottest rivalry yet

(Jeff McIntosh/ The Canadian Press via AP) If the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers both win their upcoming conference finals games, hockey fans are in for something special, the NHL's first Stanley Cup Final rematch in back-to-back years since the legendary Detroit Red Wings and Pittsburgh Penguins clashed in 2008 and 2009. That's right: the Panthers and Oilers could make history by meeting for the Cup two years in a row, bringing a rare and intense rivalry back to hockey's biggest stage. Stanley Cup Final rematches are rare — here's the history Back-to-back Stanley Cup Finals featuring the same teams are extremely uncommon in the NHL, especially in the modern expansion era (post-1967). Here's a quick look back at previous rematches: 2008 & 2009: Detroit Red Wings and Pittsburgh Penguins split the Finals, each winning once in a thrilling rivalry. 1983 & 1984: New York Islanders and Edmonton Oilers also split their Finals matchups, marking one of the great NHL rivalries. 1977 & 1978: Montreal Canadiens defeated the Boston Bruins in consecutive years, asserting their dominance. 1968 & 1969: Montreal Canadiens beat the St. Louis Blues twice, showcasing their dynasty. Since 2009, no two teams have met in the Stanley Cup Final in consecutive seasons, until now, potentially. Why an Oilers-Panthers rematch would be extra spicy Last year's Stanley Cup Final was unforgettable. The Florida Panthers captured their first-ever championship by defeating the Oilers in a dramatic six-game series. That loss still stings for Edmonton, with McDavid and Draisaitl eager to get back on the biggest stage. On the other side, the Panthers want to prove their title wasn't a fluke. This matchup features some of the NHL's brightest stars, and the stakes couldn't be higher. Will the Oilers get their revenge? Can the Panthers cement themselves as a modern dynasty? The storyline writes itself, and the excitement is palpable. In sports, few things fuel legendary rivalries like consecutive championship matchups. Think Lakers vs. Celtics in the NBA or Red Sox vs. Yankees in MLB. These epic clashes elevate the drama, deepen the rivalry, and give fans unforgettable moments to relive for years. If the Oilers and Panthers meet again, we won't just get a Stanley Cup Final, we'll witness a historic rivalry that could define this era of hockey.
