Between 1984 and 2005, rates of cervical cancer had been dropping steadily. But a report published Monday by the Canadian Cancer Statistics Advisory Committee shows a plateau in the annual percentage change for cervical cancer rates, which is just under zero for the period from 2005 to 2021. "Cervical cancer is not one of the most common causes of cancer death for females in Canada, but each one of the 430 deaths expected in 2025 due to this cancer was potentially preventable," the report said.

The "unidentified object" first seen as a large anomaly in 2017 during a fibre-optic cable survey on the bottom of Lake Ontario from Buffalo to Toronto caught the attention of Trent University archeologist James Conolly, who was hoping to study an undisturbed wreck. Based on archival records, the vessel was initially thought to be the Rapid City, a two-masted schooner built in 1884 and used as a stonehooker, until it was lost in 1917.

A 26-year-old Brampton man is dead after a crash on Highway 401 involving two commercial vehicles east of Woodstock, Ont., police say. Emergency crews were called to the two-vehicle crash in the eastbound lanes of the highway at Oxford Road 29 in Drumbo at around 7 a.m., according to Ontario Provincial Police. When emergency crews arrived, they discovered that one commercial vehicle had rear-ended another commercial vehicle.

A sixth person has been charged in connection with a protest at a private Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) student group event involving Israeli soldiers last week, in which a group allegedly forced entry inside, Toronto police say. A TMU student group called Students Supporting Israel at TMU said in social media posts last week that an off-campus event it organized involving Israeli Defense Forces soldiers was targeted.

"The first time in 32 years, I was hoping it would end like that this past World Series. I was ready to give up my crown, I really was. I was ready to relinquish it. I had held it for 32 years ... man, it was this close, this close," Carter said.

Acquiring Skubal would give any team a new ace. However, since the Tigers need an "overwhelming" offer, it seems unlikely that any team would make a move this off-season. For the Toronto Blue Jays, it would mean giving up Trey Yesavage and a metric ton more. While Skubal is an ace, his impending free agency will make teams cautious to trade for him if they can just sign him next autumn.

The Chicago Cubs declined to pick up a three-year option on Imanaga's contract, which triggered Imanaga's player option (which he also declined), officially making him a free agent. He went 9-8 with a 3.73 ERA across 25 starts in Chicago this past season. While the Blue Jays did use Eric Lauer and Easton Lucas as left-handed starters in 2025, the team spent most of the year without a consistent left-handed presence in the rotation.

In one message read by Sheiban, Hamber said the older boy was unhealthy and had an eating disorder. It should be a red flag, but I can't speak as to why it wasn't, Potts said. It is obvious [he] is underweight and does not look healthy, Sheiban said in quoting Hamber. The lawyer then argued: This should have been a red flag. Yes, Potts responded.

After beating the Atlanta Hawks in NBA Cup action on Friday night, the Toronto Raptors are above .500 for the first time since opening night, moving to 5-4 after winning their fourth straight game. Once again, it was a collective effort (seven players in double figures) and once again, RJ Barrett was part of that collective. Barrett scored 19 points on Friday, but his second-half effort may have been his best half of the year.
