Most analysts are expecting gasoline to peak somewhere around $1 per litre, hovering somewhere around 90 cents through the summer. Toronto - Former NHL star Ken Dryden officially announced Monday he will run as the federal Liberal candidate in Toronto's York Centre riding. The Hall of Fame goaltender and six-time Stanley Cup winner with the Montreal Canadiens said he was motivated to run out of a belief that he can do more for people inside the government than outside. "I always believed that politics was anybody's ultimate career," Dryden, 56, said Winnipeg - An early-morning fire has resulted in extensive damage to Assiniboia Downs race track just west of Winnipeg. The fire was first noticed in the roof of the grandstand around 3:30 a.m. on Monday. No injuries have been reported, but the fire caused extensive damage to an area above the grandstand that housed broadcast technology. Damage to equipment alone is $1 million, not including the cost of structural damage.
