The last two countries announced their 4 Nations Roster and the Toronto Maple Leafs were well represented. With the 4 Nations Face-Off taking place next February, teams are coming together as the international battle for supremacy will no doubt capture the attention of fans. Sweden and Finland already announced their rosters with two Toronto Maple Leafs represented with Jani Hakanpaa for Finland and William Nylander for Sweden. Canada and the United States were also taking note of some very familiar names as Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner have been named to their respective teams. Matthews will don the red, white, and blue as he takes the ice alongside some pretty hefty players like Brock Nelson, the Tkachuk Brothers, Chris Kreider and Brock Faber. It will be Matthews' 6th time representing the United States after various junior hockey nominations. Even though he missed basically the entirety of November, there's no denying Matthews would earn himself a spot. Last year's leading goal-scorer is going to be a dangerous weapon for Team USA as they try and use their size and skill to control the game. Even though he's missed a month, Matthews is still enjoying a solid season with 15 points in 14 games and recently returned to the team and made an instant impact. Marner will join Team Canada as the only Maple Leaf although there were conversations that potentially teammate Chris Tanev would join as well though that's not the case. Enjoying an electric season with the Maple Leafs, Marner has scored 33 points in 24 games (9 goals, 24 assists) and led the team in the wake of Matthews' injury. Without him, the team would be nowhere near as successful as they have been a quarter of the way through the season. Marner joins Team Canada for the 4th time as he joins up with some pretty prominent Canadian players such as Sidney Crosby , Connor McDavid, and Nathan MacKinnon among a slew of future Hall of Famers. More details to come. This article first appeared on Hockey Patrol and was syndicated with permission.U.S. shares lower at close of trade; Dow Jones Industrial Average down 0.35%
B.C. Premier David Eby said B.C. will slay its record-setting deficit of $9 billion through growth and sound fiscal planning, not "harsh austerity cuts" or "under-funding services" as he reached out to business leaders to make a case for investment in physical and social infrastructure. Eby made these comments while speaking in Vancouver Tuesday, (Dec. 10), at an event hosted by the B.C. Chamber of Commerce, which has previously raised concerns about B.C.'s fiscal direction. That tension surfaced during the opening of the informal question-and-answer session between Eby and Fiona Famulak, chamber president and chief executive officer. "We don't always agree, but we can always have — and we always do have — candid and frank conversations, and I know you are always up for tough questions, because you always answer them," Famulak said. "What you have just said minutes ago, a lot of good things have been said." Eby acknowledged relations could be better. "So my commitment is that you will find a government that is hoping, with your support, to hit reset on this relationship, to move forward with the tariff threat that we are facing in a unified way, with the massive opportunity in this province to deliver it for British Columbians and that four years from now...we can look back and go, 'man, we did a lot of good work together.'" Eby's prepared remarks touched on a range of subjects, including tomorrow's meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as well as provincial and territorial leaders to discuss threatened tariffs of 25 per cent on all Canadian goods by incoming-president U.S. Donald Trump. But if a singular theme ran through Eby's speech, it was his promise to reform permitting for natural resource projects. He pointed to yesterday's announcement that his government would free nine new wind energy projects from the required environmental assessments. He then added those projects would go through a singular rather multiple permitting windows. Eby said these changes will help get these projects off the ground three to five years faster than otherwise, framing them as the first of many changes to speed up permitting. One of the central sectors concerned about permitting is the mining sector, which has touted 17 critical mineral mining projects. Famulak cited these concerns when she quoted a mining executive as saying that it "'takes 12 to 15 years to give a mine a green light in this province (but) we can put a person on the moon in eight.'" Eby pointed to the heightened potential of the critical mineral sector following China's decision to limit rare earth exports to the United States during his prepared remarks. He promised "significant" reductions in wait times without being specific when asked cutting timelines in half. "So specifically on mining, we have committed to work with the sector to deliver guaranteed timelines for a permit review and decision," he said. Eby also reached to the business community in other ways. He touted the business credentials of B.C.'s Finance Minister Brenda Bailey — "she comes from among you" — and B.C.'s Jobs Minister Diane Gibson and reiterated campaign promises to review business regulations in consultation with the business community, as well as administration at the health authorities to ensure "administration doesn't suck up" resources slated for front-line support. Eby also said government is having "conversation" with B.C. Ferries about its administration and noted a hiring freeze on the administrative side of the public sector with some exceptions around permitting. "There is absolutely work for us to do around the administration of government services and ensuring that that is right-sized for the work that's actually out there," he said. But Eby also defended B.C.'s record when it comes to creating private-sector jobs, while framing the growth of public sector jobs as investments that ultimately also benefit business. "You are right, we have created a lot of public sector jobs," he said. "(These) are child care workers, nurses, doctors, health science professionals, long-term care facility workers. "(We) are desperate for teachers, educational assistants — this is essential infrastructure. If the hospital doesn't work for your employees, your staff can't get a child care space, if there (are) schools full of portables and there's actually not a teacher...you are going to have a hard time recruiting. Your businesses aren't going to be successful. The province isn't going to be successful." Ultimately though, Eby appeared to have hit the right tone. "We have to do more to unlock B.C.'s potential," he said during his remarks. "I like your words, unlocking the potential, the economic potential we have," Famulak said during the question-and-answer session. "Let's do it and I think everybody in this room would agree with that."Sacks Parente golf executive chairman buys $5,010 in stockQuick-commerce service Swiggy Instamart, on Thursday, announced an hour-long flash sale for the entire Delhi-NCR after one man requested some onions with his Swiggy food delivery. The unnamed customer, from Delhi, had added a note to his order asking for the vegetable, a social media post by his flatmate revealed. “Bhaiyya, please send round cut onions. Bhaiyya, please. Onions are too costly, I can't buy. Please send onions bhaiyya thoda," read the customer notes, according to a picture of the bill included in the posting on the subreddit Delhi. The restaurant actually sent extra onions with the meal, the user said. As many predicted, the Swiggy order made headlines. Increased interest from the news coverage caused Swiggy co-founder Phani Kishan Addepalli to catch wind of the man’s request. Not only did he acknowledge the post, but he also announced a surprise sale on onions for Delhi and the rest of NCR . "Came across this post about a Swiggy customer trying to save on the rising price of onions by asking the restaurant to send some extra onions. We feel your pain and though we can't change the prices - just for you, we're launching a flash sale today! Onions at ₹39 in Delhi NCR from 7-8pm. Stock up before we stock out," Addepalli said on X. Startup executives humouring people online isn’t unheard of. BlinkIt CEO Albinder Dhindsa earlier announced the bundling of complimentary coriander with orders in response to a complaint by a man who wasn’t too pleased with having to pay for them. However, things don’t always worked out like that. In September, a Chandigarh man claimed to have had his Big Basket account blocked after reporting underweight onions. Bhavye Goel alleged that his order for 1 kg onions was 150 grams short of the promised quantity. Onion prices have been on the rise, with Delhi paying up to ₹65 for a kg.
