Canada adds a silver medal on Day 13 of the Winter Olympics in Italy.

A crushing overtime loss to the U.S. for the Canadian Women’s Hockey team lands a silver medal. The Americans tied the score with just 2:04 left before potting the winner in OT.

The Canadian Men’s Hockey team will play Finland in the semi-finals at 10:40 a.m. The winner will play in the gold medal game on Sunday.

The Canadian Women’s Curling team will face Sweden (7-2) in the semifinals of the women’s tournament at 8:05 a.m

At the end of Day 13, Norway still leads with 34 total medals. Canada now has 15 medals — four gold, five silver, six bronze – good for 9th overall.

7-Eleven Canada is growing.

The plan is to begin franchising later this year, expanding beyond its 550 corporately owned stores.

7 Eleven is also repositioning itself to feel more like a quick-serve restaurant that also sells convenience items, competing directly with grocery stores and fast-food chains.

Beginning in early March the viral Japanese egg salad sandwich — the tamago sando is coming to Canada. The fluffy, crustless sandwich with eggs and mayo has become a cult favourite overseas.

A U.S. judge has dismissed a lawsuit against Buffalo Wild Wings after a customer claimed its “boneless wings” aren’t actually wings.

A Chicago man sued for $10 million, arguing he was misled because the menu item is made from chicken breast — more like a nugget than a deboned wing. But an Illinois judge ruled reasonable customers aren’t being fooled, noting that words can have multiple meanings — and that no one thinks buffalo wings are made from buffalo.

The court ruled that as long as the meat is from the wing portion of the animal, it can be marketed as ‘boneless wings.’
