Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Canadian women are shining at the Winter Olympics 🇨🇦

Medals in speed skating and freestyle skiing so far — and we’re cheering them on!

When girls see women succeed, they see possibility.

Strong. Smart. Bold.

Angela James OC[1] (born December 22, 1964) is a Canadian former ice hockey player who played at the highest levels of senior hockey between 1980 and 2000. She was a member of numerous teams in the Central Ontario Women's Hockey League (COWHL) from its founding in 1980 until 1998 and finished her career in the National Women's Hockey League (NWHL). She was named her league's most valuable player six times. James is also a certified referee in Canada, and a coach. She lives in Richmond Hill, Ontario. Internationally, James played in the first women's world championship, a 1987 tournament that was unsanctioned. She played with Team Canada in the first IIHF World Women's Championship in 1990, setting a scoring record of 11 goals and leading Canada to the gold medal. She played in three additional world championships, winning gold medals in 1992, 1994 and 1997. Controversially, she was left off the team for the first women's Olympic hockey tournament in 1998. She played in her final international tournament in 1999

Here’s some kindness from Canada..

When Olympian Maddie Schizas requested an extension to submit her assignment, her professor replied this ⬇️🥹

Go Maddie 🇨🇦!
From: Madeline Schizas Sat 2/7/2026 5:15 AM Hi Prof. I am a student in your Sociology 2FF3 course and am wondering if I could get a short extension on this week's reflection. I was competing in the Olympic Games yesterday and thought the reflection was due on Sunday, not Friday. Here is the Canadian Olympic Committee press release to confirm my participation: https://olympic.ca/2026/02/06/team-canada-in-top-five-after-first-day=of-olympic-figure: skating-team-event/ Thanks for your consideration Madeline Schizas To Madeline Schizas ... Sat 2/7/2026 11:24 AM Hi Madeline. Wow! What a special moment. Yes, in the circumstances, an extension is perfectly fine. I'd say focus on the competion right now, and submit it directly to me when it is done. The triple lutz triple toe combo is a pretty hard move to master, but you've got this. Good luck-the whole country is rooting for you and your teammates. PS, When I was ten, I scored a goal in hockey and that was challenging enough for me.

Raymond "Rapid Ray" Lewis (1910–2003) was a trailblazing Canadian track and field athlete, recognized as the first Canadian-born Black person to win an Olympic medal. He won a bronze medal in the \(4\times 400\)-metre relay at the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics, overcoming significant racial discrimination and financial hardship.

How did it get like this?
Because the cons, NDP, Greens ... have been blaming the Federal Liberals since PM Trudeau took office.
"A lie told often enough becomes the truth."
And we are seeing the same thing for healthcare, fire fighting, provincial infrastructure ...
