Italy's Treasury is set to hand veteran banker Luigi Lovaglio a new mandate as chief executive of state-owned lender Monte dei Paschi di Siena, two people with knowledge of the matter said. Lovaglio, who built his career at UniCredit where he eventually rose to lead the group's former Polish unit Bank Pekao, arrived at Monte dei Paschi (MPS) just over a year ago, when the Treasury pushed out his predecessor. Lovaglio, one of Italy's most experienced commercial bankers, in November oversaw a make-or-break 2.5 billion euro ($2.7 billion) capital raise which allowed MPS to bolster capital and fund voluntary layoffs.

Sport, so focused on winning and losing, on rules and competition, can bring a reductive clarity to the complexities of life. Perhaps that is why the judgement this week of the World Athletics Council was so momentous. Put simply, council president Sebastian Coe had to choose between conflicting “rights” and he decided that the right of those born women to compete fairly trumps the desire to be included in elite sport of those who have gone through male puberty but run or jump as women. “We felt
One a penny, two a penny, hot cross buns. Sweet, spice-fragrant, fruit-laced buns have been an essential part of Easter for centuries. In 1592 Elizabeth I decreed that no baker should “make, utter or sell … any spice cakes, buns, biscuits or other spice bread” except at burials, Christmas – and Good Friday. There’s nothing like a ban to sharpen the appetite.
Advocates pressing to change course on the Gardiner Expressway East rebuild say they will try to make the project an issue in the mayoral campaign after a key city committee sidelined their call for a deeper dive into its costs. Albert Koehl, a spokesperson for Gardiner East Transparency, a coalition of some 40 community groups, said they still hope to push candidates to demand answers from the city on the controversial billion-dollar project. The coalition had released a letter ahead of last we
Looking back on the early days of filming, Succession star Nicholas Braun couldn't have predicted that the hit series would have found the rapturous audience that it has. But four seasons and nearly seven years later, it's a jewel in HBO's crown — a piercing satire about the power struggle between a withholding father and his entitled children for control of the family media empire. The final season will premiere on Sunday. "When you're making something and it's that early on and no one's seen i
WARNING: This story contains details some readers may find distressing. The first ground search for unmarked graves at a former Yukon residential school will start this summer in Carcross. At least 20 Indigenous children died at Chooutla Indian Residential School between 1911 and 1969, according to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. A working group that will lead the ground search there says that number could be as high as 42. Of those 42, preliminary research is unable to identify 13 of t
Every winter, millions of Canadians head down to the Caribbean in search of sunshine, pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters. This year, however, tourists may have noticed something not-so-pleasant awaiting them on the beach: stinky, brown sargassum. Over the past decade, the foul-smelling seaweed has become more common on beaches around the Caribbean and the south Atlantic Ocean. So what's going on? To understand, first you need to understand sargassum. What is sargassum? Sargassum is a type
A high school in Châteauguay, Que., is getting ready for some high school football. After five decades, the Blazers are back. As a matter of fact, the last time Howard S. Billings sent a football team on the field, they weren't even called the Blazers. "Kids are running up to me 'Coach, coach, coach. Is it true? Is it true? Is it true?'" said Luc Pelland, who will guide the school's first football team since way back when Pierre Elliott Trudeau was prime minister and gasoline cost about 39 cents
MONTREAL — The new asylum seeker agreement between Canada and the United States will not deter migrants from trying to cross into Canada outside official ports of entry, Quebec immigration advocacy groups say. Restricting access to the border and preventing migrants from accessing a safe pathway into the country will only incentivize bad-faith actors, said Abdulla Daoud, executive director of Montreal-based The Refugee Centre. "This type of decision-making … in the past has led to the creation o
