One of the busiest travel corridors between Canada and the United States remained closed on Thanksgiving Day after a deadly, high-speed crash destroyed a U.S. customs kiosk and tested the nerves of an anxious nation. Within hours of Wednesday's crash — a car on the U.S. side rocketed toward the Rainbow Bridge customs complex, soared off a median and burst into flames inside a secondary inspection area — investigators had ruled out a terrorist attack .

More Women Than Men Have Died from COVID-19 in Canada, Statistics Canada Report ShowsA new report from Statistics Canada reveals that more women than men have died from COVID-19 in Canada. The report states that women accounted for 54% of COVID-19 deaths in the country, despite making up a slightly smaller proportion of the population.

This finding explains why Canada initially diverged from global trends, where more men were dying from the virus.
