“This is a black spot in Canadian history,” Dean France said of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s decision to invoke the Emergency Act on Feb. 14, just a day after the deal between the city and the truckers was made public. “History will show that it was a total overreaction.” Beginning in late January, protesters rallied against the pandemic restrictions and blocked access to the neighborhood and major arteries around Parliament Hill, blocking roads with trucks and other vehicles....

“He was somewhat of a legend in my community when I was growing up, and for a number of reasons,” said Hill, 70. George Hill’s prewar life was filled with scholastic and athletic achievements, including being the Maritime intercollegiate boxing champion in the featherweight category. But it was 80 years ago today, on Aug. 19, 1942, in Dieppe, France, that the legend of Hill’s exemplary military career was born. His actions that day during the disastrous attack on Nazi-occupied France and later in the Second World War led the press to dub him “Nova Scotia’s ace of aces” and “Pictou’s hero of the air....

While the score of this exhibition is ultimately meaningless, New England took the lead at the midway point, which should have been expected as they cycled the majority of their starters — unlike Carolina. Mac Jones and the Patriots’ first-team offense did get off to a bit of a sluggish start and scored points on their two drives, but found a groove heading into the second quarter. There they put together a 10-play, 81-yard drive that culminated in a Ty Montgomery rushing score....

This time, the Blue Jays didn’t wilt at the moment of truth. Bo Bichette, most notably, made a terrific barehanded grab and throw on a Ryan Mountcastle chopper that immediately changed control of the inning. Garcia walked Austin Hays and followed with positive momentum in the bottom of the frame when Teoscar Hernandez walked into a one-out single, Bichette moved him to third on a perfectly executed hit-and-run, and the cleanup arrived when pinch hitter O George Springer hit an RBI single....

The ads are everywhere — and so are the inflated claims: Special shampoos and treatments, sometimes costing thousands of dollars, will make hair grow. But many dermatologists who specialize in hair loss say most of these products don’t work. “There is an endless array of useless hair growth drugs,” often at “significant cost,” said Dr. Brett King, a dermatologist at Yale School of Medicine.

After England slumped to defeat in three days – the first of which was lost mainly due to rain – by an innings and 12 runs, their coach Brendon McCullum said some defeats were inevitable given the team’s attacking play. “Like we said at the beginning, you have to buckle down for the ride,” he said. “The four Tests we’ve won recently, we’ve been behind the game in each of them and we’ve been able to get back in front and put the opposition under pressure, which has allowed us to go on and win....
