Milan, Juventus return to San Siro after recent losses
MILAN (AP) — Both AC Milan and Juventus have recent bad memories of San Siro ahead of their eagerly-anticipated Serie A match at the iconic stadium on Sunday. Juventus lost the Italian Super Cup to Inter Milan last week, when Alexis Sánchez scored the winner with the last kick of the match at the end of extra time.

Suspended Alberta justice minister says he wasn't distracted driving, phone in pocket
EDMONTON — Kaycee Madu says he understands why Alberta Premier Jason Kenney relieved him as justice minister after Madu phoned Edmonton's police chief about a traffic ticket. Madu says he did not phone Edmonton police Chief Dale McFee to get the $300 distracted driving ticket cancelled, but understands why people could have concerns about the call. "With hindsight now I can see how that may be perceived," Madu wrote in a series of tweets late Tuesday. "There is a saying that perception is everyt
