CANADA WINS ANOTHER SILVER π₯
Ivanie Blondin takes silver in womenβs mass start speedskating.
#MilanoCortina2026
WHAT A FINISHβΌοΈπ₯
CANADA STRIKES GOLD IN MEN'S CURLING.
#MilanoCortina2026
A speed skater in a red, white, and black racing suit with maple leaf patterns skates on an indoor ice rink. The skater is leaning forward in a low stance, wearing a red-and-white cap, protective glasses, and black skates with long blades. The suit shows βCANβ on one leg and a small maple leaf crest on the chest. The background is a smooth, bright white ice surface with no visible crowd or boards.
Ivanie Blondin has won silver in the Speed Skating Women's Mass Start event! This is her second medal at the Games, to go with her gold in the Team Pursuit.
The event was introduced at the 2018 and Ivanie won silver in the event in 2022.
Meanwhile, most of the private sector has been back at work for years.
So what makes federal employees so special?
Transit problems? Yes, itβs a mess. But itβs your mess. Fixing it is literally your job and the job of your colleagues.
Before the pandemic, federal public servants went to the office five days a week. No crisis. No collapse. The job got done.
Work-from-home was a temporary solution to an extraordinary situation. Itβs not a permanent entitlement, no matter what PSAC and the other unions claim.
BRONZE FOR CANADA π¨π¦
TEAM HOMAN IS LEAVING THE OLYMPICS WITH A MEDAL.
And after starting 1-3 this seemed unlikely. They didnβt quit. Won six of their last seven games. Beat the USA to claim womenβs curling bronze. Resilient. Triumphant.
Thank you! All the best.

I also want to thank you for being so accessible and for keeping us updated on the issues. Even though my family and I donβt live in your ward, youβve helped us out a couple of times.

Ironically, three of the missing packages showed up later that day. Still waiting on two more.
Itβs amazing how deliveries can suddenly appear. But, sure they arenβt bundling mail.

Update on Canada Post:
Spoke to customer service last Wednesday night and got the runaround from the call centre rep. Asked for a supervisor. After a 10 minute conversation, he promised to call me back Thursday afternoon with an update. Never happened.

Customer service just repeats βbe patientβ and βmail goes out every day.β Thatβs not service, thatβs a script.

What is going on with Canada Post??
Two packages mailed from Ottawa and one from Stittsville on February 6 still havenβt arrived, and I live in Vanier. Thatβs local mail. It shouldnβt take two weeks.
