Before the stars of Heated Rivalry were presenting at the Golden Globes, or posing at Paris Fashion Week, or carrying the Olympic Torch in Milan, the hockey smut sensation existed only as the brainchild of Haligonian Rachel Reid. The result was a six-book series, Game Changers, which Jacob Tierney (whose past credits include hockey classics Shoresy and Letterkenny) has turned into the juggernaut television series. The show, about two rival players turned lovers, “could only be made in Canada,” according to our prime minister, but has found a huge, insatiable audience beyond the country’s borders. Here’s how Heated Rivalry has captured a global imagination and fired up a thousand think pieces—including a few you may not have considered before. All while making Canada a whole lot sexier.

In 2012, a survey from the nonprofit Vancouver Foundation identified a perplexing trend: as the city was densifying in response to its housing crisis, people—especially those who lived in high-density housing—reported feeling less connected to their neighbours. A growing body of research since then has found a correlation between living in high-density urban environments and increased rates of social isolation, due to factors including a lack of secure tenure in rental buildings, poor architectural design, a dearth of green space and limited access to nature, and stigma related to...

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA
— Canada’s defence minister says the Liberal party is a “big tent” as divisions emerge over its decision to back the U.S. strikes against Iran, calling its supreme leader who was killed in the assaults a “force for evil.”
