The Canadians edged Team Europe with a 3-1 win in Game 1 of the best-of-three World Cup of Hockey final.

As edible marijuana sales soar, Colorado tries a new regulatory tactic
Pot-friendly Colorado is still working on the perfect recipe for regulating edible marijuana, in the face of data showing an increase in accidental ingestion of marijuana-infused treats. The state's latest attempt legislates new warning labels for edibles, which have become increasingly popular. Through June of this year, consumers spent $73.5 million US on edible pot — more than 12 per cent of total marijuana sales, according to cannabis data firm BDS Analytics.
