3 Takeaways as Canada Defeat Trinidad 2-0, Qualify for Copa America

3 Takeaways as Canada Defeat Trinidad 2-0, Qualify for Copa America By: Adam Iannetta It wasn’t straightforward, but Canada got the job done. Trinidad and Tobago, ranked 96th in the world coming into the game, were supposed to be no match for a Canadian attack that featured the firepower of Alphonso Davies, Jonathan David, Cyle Larin, and Tajon Buchanan.

Quebec vs. the World: Canada’s Sovereign Film Industry By: Max von Schilling Although it’s easy to fall into the fruitless trap of recognizing the success of a filmmaker solely through their awards, there’s a reason for it.
