Could not be more proud of you, Team Canada.

You’re coming home with 21 hard-fought Olympic medals. Though what Canadians will remember most is how you wore the Maple Leaf: with pride, with grit, and with determination.

German soccer team cancels Minnesota visit due to ICE crackdown Bundesliga side Werder Bremen were planning to visit in May, though no matches were scheduled.

This is what needs to happen.

Cancel the World Cup.

Cancel the Olympics.

Cancel your US vacations.

Refuse to support this regime and refuse to endanger lives.

A Canadian two-dollar coin lying flat on a dark wooden surface. The coin is bimetallic, with a gold-coloured centre and a silver-coloured outer ring. In the centre is an engraved polar bear walking on ice, with mountains in the background. The outer ring is inscribed with the words β€œCANADA” at the top and β€œ2 DOLLARS” at the bottom. The coin is centered in the frame, with soft lighting and a slight vignette darkening the edges of the image.

On this day in 1996, the Toonie was introduced by the Government of Canada. While the name Nanuq (polar bear) was suggested to honour the Inuit and Canada's North, Toonie became commonplace. The bear on the Toonie was named Churchill by the Royal Canadian Mint.

Canada is now the first non-European country to be granted a membership in SAFE. This is a gamechanger program that means Canada can rearm our Canadian Armed Forces members more effectively and scale up our defence industries with more contracts overseas.

Not begging for infrastructure is actually incredibly underrated. I haven't been to a public meeting, written a specific non-form letter to a councillor, and new stuff just gets built where it makes sense.

A portion of the StrΓΈget pedestrian street in Copenhagen that widens into a grand people-place.

One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the StrΓΈget in Copenhagen, was filled with cars until a 2 year pedestrianization pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued β€œno cars means no business,” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.

Picked the kiddo up from preschool by bike on Thurs and Fri, for the first time since November. Didn't tell him I was going to. We stepped out the door of his school and he squealed "BIKE!!!" in excitement as soon as he saw.

4-year-olds agree: best way to travel.

This is significant.
Canada is the only non-European country to sign on to a program that allows access for low-interest loans for the joint procurement of military gear and weapons. It gives Canadian companies access to bid on European projects.
