Team Canada rolled its way to another win Thursday, March 13, at the World Wheelchair Curling Mixed Doubles Championships in Stevenston, Scotland.

Spallumcheen's Ina Forrest and partner Mark Ideson of London, Ont. improved to 4-0 by thumping Poland 11-1.

The Canadian duo took control early with last rock, scoring twice in the opening end and adding five more in the third for a 7-1 lead. The Canadians stole four straight points over the next three ends to force early handshakes from the Poles.

Canada sits atop Pool B at 4-0. Czechia is 3-1.

The only other undefeated rink is Korea, also 4-0, but playing in Pool C.

Team Canada is one of 21 countries with its sights set on a Paralympics spot for 2026 in Italy.

Canada is currently seventh in the Paralympic qualification , with only seven spots remaining as the host nation, Italy, already qualifies. 

Forrest and Ideson will wrap up pool play Friday, taking on Latvia at 2:30 a.m. Pacific, and Denmark at 9:30 a.m. Pacific.

Playoffs begin Saturday.
