Walking the streets of Kansas City, Houston, Miami and New York it is hard not to notice a World Cup is coming.
Billboards abound, there are signs outside bars and stores are churning out tournament-themed merchandise.
But for hoteliers checking their booking systems, the buzz is more of a murmur.
The industry body says most hotels in World Cup host cities are seeing bookings lower than this time last year, and those who spoke to the BBC said they were underwhelmed so far.
A Canadian doctor has suggested that babies with severe deformities could be euthanized under the country’s controversial assisted suicide laws.
Quebec College of Physicians member Louis Roy has been condemned by a lobbying group after a comment he made during a 2022 parliamentary committee resurfaced.
Roy previously said that under current Canadian law, assisted suicide could be considered for infants up to one year old with severe ailments.
President Donald Trump revealed on Friday that a 20-year moratorium on Iran’s nuclear program would be sufficient for him on that portion of a possible agreement to end the war.
The president’s acknowledgement on Air Force One following his trip to China appears to suggest a shift in his thinking, given he has repeatedly said they must agree to completely and permanently dismantle its nuclear program.
The organizers behind Toronto’s annual Al-Quds Day rally are suing Premier Doug Ford for defamation.
Al Quds Outreach Committee Toronto filed a lawsuit against Ford, prepared at the end of April, alleging commentary he made about the rally was motivated by “malice” and displays racism.
The lawsuit refers to comments Ford made in a video released on YouTube in March.
“This demonstration is nothing more than a breeding ground for hate and antisemitism. It glorifies violence, it celebrates terrorism. It has no place in Ontario, it has no place in Canada,” he said in the video.
The United States, with “America First” President Donald Trump at the helm, along with his anti-Castro Cuban-American Secretary of State Marco Rubio, has been putting the pressure on the communist regime founded in 1959 by that infamous revolutionary, Fidel Castro. In an executive order issued in May, the president deemed the island country, which is only 90 miles off the Florida Keys, an “unusual and extraordinary threat,” and the administration has been busy since slamming them with sanctions and cutting off their oil supplies.
For decades, Alberta has learned one hard political lesson over and over again: Ottawa only “hears” Alberta when Alberta becomes impossible to ignore. Not when Alberta asks politely. Not when Alberta negotiates in good faith. Not when Alberta contributes tens of billions to Confederation. Only when Alberta becomes politically dangerous.
US President Donald Trump left Beijing after a two-day summit saying he had struck “fantastic trade deals, great for both countries”, but few details have emerged on what the two superpowers agreed.
Trump arrived for a high-stakes summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping on Wednesday, accompanied by several CEOs: a high-profile business delegation spanning agriculture, aviation, electric vehicles and artificial intelligence (AI) chips.
Trade was near the top of the agenda despite recent tensions over the Iran war, and businesses hoped for key deals as well as an extension of the tariff truce that is due to expire in November.

Members of Canada’s biggest white nationalist group trained this spring with U.S. counterparts south of the border and met with the founder of a global movement of fascist fight clubs, a CBC visual investigation has found.
One expert called it a “very significant” signal of closer co-ordination between white supremacist groups on both sides of the border.
This is the latest CBC Expose of Canadian White People with objectionable views who haven’t actually broken any laws.
Scotland Yard is set to use armoured vehicles for the first time in 15 years in a £4.5million operation to police protests this weekend.
In a package of measures billed as the toughest ever, 4,000 officers will be deployed to deal with the Tommy Robinson-led Unite the Kingdom rally and a pro-Palestine gathering to mark Nakba Day.
A total of more than 80,000 people are expected to attend the two demonstrations on Saturday when London will also host the FA Cup Final.

In a Vatican ceremony this week 13 ambassadors to the Holy See received a prestigious honorific distinction. News that the recipients included Iran’s Mohammad Hossein Mokhtari caused eyebrows to be raised.
After the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) brutally clamped down on protests this year, killing 30,0000 people according to some estimates, an Iranian official might seem like an unlikely recipient of the Grand Cross of the Pontifical Order of Pius IX, which Iranian media claimed was awarded for efforts to “promote peace”.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has been involved, the extent of which is currently unknown, in creating deceptive prank videos that target some of the country’s loudest political dissidents.
There are two words to describe the involvement of a public broadcaster in such a project: blatant propaganda.
Reporter: “Why should English people pay for you to have a house?”
Illegal invader: “Uh give me house, give me anything, give me.”
This perfectly encapsulates these people: they contribute nothing, only leeching off and exploiting the welfare system. pic.twitter.com/GJneqbGS6m

Frankenstein is transphobic because it is about “a constructed body”, a non-binary filmmaker has claimed.
Jane Schoenbrun, an American director who describes herself as trans and queer, said the Frankenstein adaptations, based on Mary Shelley’s 1818 gothic novel, are an example of older horror films featuring a “trans monster”.
“This image of the trans monster kept coming up, whether that be Norman Bates or Buffalo Bill or Frankenstein as a constructed body, and there was this lineage of trans people having really complicated feelings about those movies,” Schoenbrun told The Hollywood Reporter.
