Lamine Yamal is confident of a big individual performance when Spain play Belgium in the World Cup quarter-finals tomorrow. The Barcelona winger missed the build-up to the tournament due to a hamstring injury sustained in April and has yet to hit top form, even though Luis de la Fuente’s men have looked collectively impressive in reaching the last eight. Yamal, 18, accepts he has room for improvement and believes it will come when Spain play the Red Devils in Los Angeles. He told Mundo Deportivo: “I think I can be better. I’m very demanding with myself. I’ve never said ‘okay,…

OTTAWA — Canada is putting international law as one of its top priorities at the United Nations — as others accuse Ottawa of pulling its punches. Canada’s UN ambassador David Lametti says international rules are “under strain” by major and regional powers, and that Ottawa is alarmed by countries killing civilians, aid workers and UN staff. “I don’t think anyone’s attacking humanitarian law,” he told The Canadian Press in a recent interview. “They’re not being attacked directly, they’re being undermined indirectly. And so it is the task of the rest of us to call that out, and to keep that…

Ontario Premier Doug Ford joined his Alberta counterpart at the Calgary Stampede on Monday to unveil the proposed route for a pipeline to carry 500,000 barrels of Alberta crude to refineries in southwestern Ontario. That was just days after Smith was standing alongside Prime Minister Mark Carney, also in…

TORONTO — Alex Shved is fighting his Stage 4 cancer on two fronts. Medication he is receiving as part of an early-stage trial is working with his body, he hopes, to attack melanoma that has metastasized. At the same time, he is taking up arms against another formidable foe: the health-care bureaucracy. Shved, 37, has tried various treatments since first discovering a growing mole in 2020 and continues to feel well, working in private equity and parenting his two daughters, both under two years old. “I will do anything and everything it takes to stay in their lives,” he said…

Jennifer Lopez stepped out in Paris on Monday with a caption that may be the most Jennifer Lopez thing she’s posted in a while. “everything’s fine in Paris 🌸,” photographed by @schiudio, landed on her Instagram and immediately gave off a quiet, unhurried energy. No red-carpet framing, no grand declaration, just a photo and four words. Paris, a cherry blossom emoji, and a woman who sounds genuinely at ease. There’s something kind of delightful about the phrasing. “Everything’s fine” reads like a friend’s check-in text. It’s casual and reassuring, without asking for anything in return. From someone known for stadium-sized…
