🏒@usahockey team placed in quarantine at @WorldJuniors after two players test positive for COVID-19

tgam.ca/3Hn16z5
🏒The two @usahockey players tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday, forcing the team into a mandated quarantine, forfeiting its game against Switzerland in accordance with @IIHFHockey rules.

🏒 @TeamCanada won its first game of the tournament Sunday, beating Czechia 6-3, and faces Austria Tuesday at 5 p.m. MST

🏒The @IIHFHockey cancelled the women’s under-18 world championship earlier in December over concerns about surging COVID-19 cases but went ahead with the men’s junior hockey championship in Edmonton and Red Deer.

tgam.ca/3Hn16z5
🏒 For many Canadians, the world junior hockey championship means something very special, writes @RoyMacG. The games herald a new year, a slow lengthening of days for a country already weary of cold, dark afternoons.

tgam.ca/3pzLZwb
🏒The @IIHFHockey says that @usahockey 's quarantine status will be evaluated later to determine whether last year's tournament champions will be able to compete in their next preliminary round game against Sweden, scheduled for Wednesday.

Need to catch up on this season’s biggest movie releases? The Globe’s film critics have you covered.

From weird reboots to complicated coming of age romps, here's what to watch right now⬇️
First up: The Matrix Resurrections.

Lana Wachowski’s sequel-reboot-remake is “a weird, hilarious, romantic, messy, violent and upsetting manic spectacle that encapsulates every emotion of this supremely messed up year.”

Conceived as a climate-change metaphor, Don’t Look Up’s conceit could be sharply effective, in careful hands.

But director Adam McKay (The Big Short, Vice) knows only of punching down with meaty fists, so the result is a messy, smarmy assault.

Incendiary Canadian director Jean-Marc Vallée, dead at 58, was just getting started.

The director behind Dallas Buyers Club, Big Little Lies and The Young Victoria was an exceptional, once-in-a-generation talent, writes @HertzBarry.

tgam.ca/3Jxcla2
"Truthfully, Vallée didn’t have to say much during interviews – he did all the talking that he needed to do on-screen. The filmmaker was an exceptional, once-in-a-generation talent."

tgam.ca/3Jxcla2
"He knew what challenges his performers needed. He knew which songs would ensure that a film stuck in a moviegoer’s head forever.

And, perhaps most importantly of all, he knew how to structure and cut a film with the fire of a thousand beating hearts."

Desmond Tutu, the liberation hero who rallied South Africa and the world to defeat apartheid and then persisted as a fearless fighter for moral justice to the end of his life, has died in Cape Town at the age of 90.
tgam.ca/3FuNYHn
Millions of South Africans mourned on Sunday for the loss of the last remaining giant of the anti-apartheid movement and the last icon of an era when moral courage and sacrifice helped to topple racial evil.
tgam.ca/3FuNYHn
The son of a teacher and a domestic worker in a mining town, Desmond Tutu rose to become an Anglican bishop and a charismatic leader of the liberation struggle in the 1980s when Nelson Mandela and other comrades were in prison.

The holiday season is the perfect time to have a conversation with your family about wills, estates, executors and end of life. Seriously.
tgam.ca/3J7nApv
Certified executor adviser David Edey believes having this conversation could be a big stress reducer in the long term for both senior parents and their adult children.
Here are his 4 tips for talking about wills, estates and end of life with your family:
tgam.ca/3J7nApv
🚫Don’t bring it up at Christmas dinner.

Instead, wait a day or two after the big family celebration. “You don’t want to say something like, ‘Can someone pass the turkey and, oh by the way mom, what are you going to be doing about your will?” says Edey.

🏦Changing banks can be quick and relatively painless – or time-consuming and complex. It all depends on your approach. Here are some things to consider if you want to unwind your bank accounts. ​​tgam.ca/32Lu38D
🏦First, shop around and decide where you are taking your business. Open a personal chequing or savings account at your new financial institution before closing your current account. tgam.ca/32Lu38D
🏦Credit cards and bank accounts are not connected: You can have a credit card with one institution and a bank account elsewhere. There’s no fee to close a credit-card account. But you still have to pay the outstanding balance plus any associated fees. tgam.ca/32Lu38D

Fear along the Nile
Why Egypt sees a massive dam in Ethiopia as a matter
of life and death

By @ereguly
tgam.ca/31r4s4E
Visitors would be remiss thinking Egypt is a
water-rich country. The Nile — the world’s longest river — flows through it before emptying into the Mediterranean Sea.

Egyptians know they exist only because their river exists.
tgam.ca/31r4s4E
And yet, Egypt’s water riches are a mirage. The African country as a whole is classified by the United Nations as a country on the verge of “absolute water scarcity.”
