The Edmonton Oilers rookies finished their schedule with a 4-1 road loss to the Calgary Flames rookies Monday night. The Oilers took the lead on a two-man advantage with just over eight minutes left in the first. Rafael Lavoie took a pass from Xavier Bourgault and fired home a one-timer.'We had a lot of power-play chances. We buried on that one. Should have buried on more than that,' said Lavoie. 'It was a great play by Bourgie. He had a shot lane, and he still found me.'Martin Pospisil tied it on a Flames power play less than four minutes later.

The Chief of the Association Of Iroquois & Allied Indians said that while Ontario's $10-million announcement is a good start, it's a small portion of what is needed to uncover all the unmarked graves at residential schools.

A COVID-19 catchphrase that has emerged during this prolonged pandemic seems to be applicable to the current state of Alberta's oil sector: 'Things may look a little bit different this year.'Tuesday marked the one-year anniversary of a startlingly swift and unprecedented slide for oil prices.On April 20, 2020, U.S. crude oil futures turned negative for the first time in history. Analysts have said the development was driven in part by the sudden drop in demand for the commodity because of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as by a price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia.
