☆ Oh Canada, is this the year the Stanley Cup comes home?
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-15 | by ( Steve Keating | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +5 min

Not since the Montreal Canadiens beat the Los Angeles Kings in 1993 has the Stanley Cup been paraded through a Canadian city, an ego-deflating run of failure that has scarred a generation of fans. After winning the Stanley Cup in 1967, Maple Leafs defenceman Larry Hillman allegedly jinxed the team, saying they would not win it again until the club settled a contract dispute and paid him the $2,400 plus interest he believed he was owed. The Maple Leafs' big misfortune is playing in the same division as the Boston Bruins, who this season set NHL records for wins (65) and points (135), and the Tampa Bay Lightning, Stanley Cup finalists for the last three years. These two teams are once again hurdles that must be cleared on the way to a Stanley Cup. When the playoffs open on Monday, the Oilers will be the first of the Canadian teams to hit the ice, hosting the Los Angeles Kings in Game One of their best-of-seven series.

The campaign, which is set to roll out Wednesday, includes videos of parents having conversations with children about the risks of fentanyl. The Ad Council also aims to expand the campaign beyond Meta platforms, including with digital display ads on other websites. Next, the Ad Council plans to educate 18-to-24-year-olds about the benefits of carrying naloxone.

☆ The 'total return era' of investing might be over, the credit chief for a $6 billion firm told us. Here's what he's buying to lock in solid returns that will hold up in a recession.

He says the 'total return era' of high, stable returns across asset classes might be gone for good. Reddy explained his ideas about what to buy to get solid returns at smart levels of risk. But buying everything only works if all of those structural factors are sending demand and asset prices steadily higher, Reddy said. Younger workers tend to spend more and save less, which means greater demand and more inflation pressure, Reddy said. "If you have a higher inflation environment, you need to take some kind of risk."

☆ The big reveal: Xi set to introduce China's next standing committee
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-21 | by ( Tony Munroe | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +4 min

REUTERS/Tingshu Wang/File PhotoBEIJING, Oct 21 (Reuters) - Xi Jinping, poised to clinch a third five-year term as China's leader, will on Sunday preside over the most dramatic moment of the Communist Party's twice-a-decade congress and reveal the members of its elite Politburo Standing Committee. Xi's break with precedent to rule beyond a decade was set in motion when he abandoned presidential term limits in 2018. His norm-busting as China's most powerful ruler since Mao Zedong has made it even harder to predict who will join him on the standing committee. At least two of the seven current Standing Committee members are expected to retire due to age norms. Reports this week in the Wall Street Journal and South China Morning Post suggest there could be as many as four openings, with Premier Li, 67, possibly among those stepping down.
