The World Lives Here.
Canada is all together different. Truly unique. And so is our relationship to the beautiful game. This is our opening to the 2026 World Cup. Narrated by Kiefer Sutherland. #FIFAWorldCup

Canadian oil makes up ***62%*** of the amount of oil the U.S. imports and ***25%*** of every barrel that goes into U.S. refineries. how's that for "energy independence"? let that sink in.

Today, we raised the Pride flag on Parliament Hill — a symbol of belonging, an act of vigilance, and a beacon to all those who are not yet free.
It reminds us that with our freedom comes responsibility — to keep building a better, more just Canada.

I don't think pro teams and athletes should be forced to celebrate Pride. It should be voluntary. I appreciate knowing which teams and athletes refuse. I appreciate knowing where LGBTQ people aren't welcome. It makes it easy to avoid those athletes and not support those teams.

This is a devastating interview.
Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good.
Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.

Cool to see SFU snag the largest-ever donation in its history: a $40 million gift from Arran and Ratana Stephens and their family.
Chatted with Arran today about his rationale, and how it is a "vast percentage" of his savings.

For some reason it's the ones who cry the hardest about "protecting women" from queer & trans people who do the most harm to women.

So let me get this straight.
Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.
Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.
Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.
Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.
And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”
Please.
