Also, while you’re in Winnipeg , highly suggest you find a local sports bar and join us in rooting for the Jays. The whole country is behind this team from coast to coast to coast. It’s one of the things that makes Canada special. We’ve got room for one more on the bandwagon for Canada’s team…

Bottom line: if you don’t vote, you are telling everyone that you are privileged enough to not be affected by whatever happens.

We’ve narrowed it down to a shortlist of 20 destinations through a not-so-scientific process. We want to celebrate this big, beautiful country, which means /1

Ugh…I get it, but this news is another gut punch for Pirates fans following a disastrous trade deadline in yet another lost season. Will miss these podcasts during my morning walks with my dog here in Canada. Go Jays I guess…

Putting the Arctic Ocean closer to the center, this brings the Greenland Canada gambit into focus. It is a grab for power, money, water, and resources, also giving the US complete control over the Northwest Passage. Fentanyl and the border are a smokescreen for a much bigger project: theft.

Opinion | Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn’t True. A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.

The world's richest man stole food from the world's poorest children. Now they are beginning to die

β€œThose nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

Americans (myself included) tend to laugh off the Trump noises about annexing Canada as obvious nonsense, but the rest of the world is taking the threat seriously.

Our media should reflect that reality and hold him accountable for the serious damage he’s causing.
