Is baseball still America’s game? The Blue Jays are changing the idea of who baseball is for | CBC Arts Jays fan Sadaf Ahsan and sports journalist Shireen Ahmed examine the cultural changes at play.

Everywhere I go, people are wearing Jays gear. People I know who have never watched baseball (me included) are staying up past midnight to for an 18th inning. The coffee shop has baseball donuts.

And, I cannot emphasize this enough, I am in a city *3000 km from Toronto*

Canada is behind this team

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." — Michael Okuda

Canada welcomes the U.S. Court of International Trade’s decision on the United States’ tariffs.

It confirmed what we’ve always held: that the American tariffs against Canadian goods are unlawful and unjustified.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Three Alberta separatism myths No, we wouldn’t be able to force the rest of Canada to build pipelines.

I've been hesitant to write something like this because I didn't want to give oxygen to Alberta separatists. The conversation alone is dangerous.

But with the threshold to a separation referendum lowered so dramatically, we can't let myths out there go unchecked. www.coreyhogan.ca/p/three-albe...

So many people have grown up to be the villains of our stories.

And if it wasn’t clear, ‘Never’💪🇨🇦

Smith’s Anti-Democratic Electoral ‘Reforms’ Are Straight from Trump’s Playbook | The Tyee It’s no accident the changes were announced as attention was focused on the federal election.

After relaxing ethics rules and ignoring calls for a public inquiry into alleged corruption, the UCP is making it even easier to pay to play.

Alberta First Nations issue cease and desist order against Danielle Smith's attempt to create a national unity crisis. Alberta is on treaty lands.
Those treaties were signed 30 years before Alberta became a province.

A reminder that every small bit of good you do - whether it be putting art into the world, helping a friend or stranger, donating to a good cause, or just listening to someone who needs to vent - offsets all the evil in the world just a little bit. And sometimes that's just what the world needs.

The Nation That Trump Could Never Break Canada didn’t just resist, they reminded the rest of us how to endure

People around the world are celebrating Canada's choice, but this tribute is particularly moving.

"Good luck to the Great people of Canada. Elect the man who has the strength and wisdom to cut your taxes in half, increase your military power, for free, to the highest level in the World, have your Car, Steel, Aluminum, Lumber, Energy, and all other businesses, QUADRUPLE in size, WITH ZERO TARIFFS OR TAXES, if Canada becomes the cherished 51st. State of the United States of America. No more artificially drawn line from many years ago. Look how beautiful this land mass would be. Free access with NO BORDER. ALL POSITIVES WITH NO NEGATIVES. IT WAS MEANT TO BE! America can no longer subsidize Canada with the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars a year that we have been spending in the past. It makes no sense unless Canada is a State!"

complete batshit insanity

My heart goes out to all Canadians, but particularly those in the Filipino Canadian community in light of the senseless and devastating event in Vancouver last night at the Lapu-Lapu Day festivities.

What should have been a euphoric celebration ended in unthinkable darkness.

Paula Simons: My Canada includes Alberta | CBC News The independent senator and former journalist says we shouldn't let the whiners and quitters take over our political discourse.

In 2019, the last time Alberta was awash in separatist nonsense, CBC Calgary commissioned me to write this essay. I re-read it today - and it seems to me as true as ever. And I thought this weekend might be a good time to share it with you, my new Bluesky friends. #Alberta #cdnpoli #abpoli #ableg
