Trump is clowning his evangelical base He's not even bothering to pretend anymore.

"Trump’s unhinged, hateful remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast don’t disgust his evangelical supporters because they share his seething cultural resentment and endless persecution complex. For them, his open contempt for their mutual enemies resonates more than a true sermon."

Is there a more untouchable politician than Chretien? Anti-poverty protester gets choked by a PM and it's an LOL meme for decades and considered endearing. I'm not overly offended by it, really, but it sure is fascinating.

"O Canada" for the first time at Milan Cortina 2026.

Mikaël Kingsbury. Olympic champion.

He's delivered so many times and just did so in front of his baby son, Henrik and his family.

Mark Lee and Melissa Hollingsworth are killing it calling the sliding sports at the Olympics.

I got one question to Canada’s William Dandjinou.

He told me, respectfully, he would keep his answer short.

And finished by looking at me and saying “I promise you, one day I’ll be an Olympic champion”

Just a tough, tough, few days for Dandjinou in singles competition.

Team Homan at the Olympics, man. They are so, so, good, but it just feels like they've been hearing footsteps since that first loss.

I appreciate that the internet has made everyone into an amateur investigative journalist. But actual investigative work requires aggressively checking, double-checking, and trying to poke holes in your own work — not just rushing to publish because you want to believe it's true.

Incredible race from Laurent Dubreuil to win Bronze in the 500m, and what it is to watch Stolz and de Boo.

Me at 20: I’ll have it all figured out by the time I’m 40.

Me at 40: wtf do you mean they rearranged the grocery store

Bruce Arthur: Ted-Jan Bloemen’s dream Olympic speedskating career has come to a close. It’s time to focus on family The Canadian speedskater and gold medallist from Pyeongchang is both excited to find out what the rest of his life looks like, and overwhelmed about leaving behind his ‘life’s work’ after final race i...

Eight years ago Ted-Jan Bloemen won gold and his wife Marlinde wept, but she wasn't crying about the race. Friday Bloemen ended his Olympic career with his wife and kids in Milan, and Marlinde had something to be so much happier about. I needed to write this story. www.thestar.com/sports/olymp...

Tough start for Team Homan. Hope they can get on track and the ghosts of 2018 aren’t too loud.

The cross country relay is wild. A Swedish skier went head over heels and broke a binding!

From Browning saying he still had the Gold after the first fall, to falls and stumbles that followed, to bailing on the routine. Incredible drama. You couldn't believe what you were watching. He seemed unflappable. Maybe on the biggest stage you need to leave room for being flappable and adjust.

This shouldn’t get lost in all of tonight.

Within seconds of learning his 8th place fate — a nightmare unfolding for him — Ilia Malinin congratulated Mikhail Shaidorov.

He’s had to grow up fast in the spotlight. And showed immense class in a crushing moment for him.

Malinin ate it in his free skate. Went from first to eighth.

Wow. Has to be one of the most shocking moments in Olympic history.

CURLING BEEF! CURLING BEEF! CURLING BEEF! CURLING BEEF!

(I never post Olympic videos bc the IOC will hunt you down but I am taking that risk so that you can hear the Canadian curling cursing)

This is absolutely wild.

Book 9:

Couldn’t really get into this one, though the writing itself is strong.

Marc Kennedy for the loonie. Now.

Stephen A. Smith another who took the wrong message from that New Yorker airplane cartoon, apparently.

It’s been a winter

I don't want Newsom as the 2028 nominee not because we're not 100% ideologically aligned, but because I don't trust him as far as I can throw him. I think Gavin Newsom is all about Gavin Newsom and not the kind of true fighter the Democrats need.

Jen Gerson: This would have been Calgary's Olympics The 2018 Olympics plebiscite was an early warning of something that wasn’t being addressed and hasn’t been since.

That former candidate who trolled about Carney not having a family picture is just another person who allowed the internet to completely fry her brain. She no longer knows how to interact with others like a normal human being.

If my ancestors made it across the plains pulling handcarts, I can make it through this 14-page Gavin Newsom profile in the New Yorker.

Will Dandjinou kept pace throughout the race, but took a slight slip in the penultimate lap and wasn't able to regain momentum.

A fourth-place finish by a few inches for the Canadian Olympic rookie in the men's 1,000m.

He's got plenty more on his programme.
