Long before the Toronto Blue Jays reached the World Series in 2025, or even won the title in 1992 and 1993, Canada had another world champion team.
Back in 1877, the London Tecumsehs became Canada's first international interleague baseball champions.
This is their story.

It is said that baseball is America's Pastime, but the first recorded baseball game in North American history happened north of their border.
It was way back in 1838 when two teams came together in a cow pasture near present-day Beachville, Ontario.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Zack Polanski’s response to the Manchester terror attack has been a masterclass in mature statesmanship.
Soulful, human, eloquent, empathetic, nuanced, confident and focused on healing.
And bold. It has shone in contrast to so much weaponising or ill thought through commentary.
Thank you Zack. 💪

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

Your occasional reminder that the positive effects of UBI have been tested and validated hundreds of times more often than the murderous Musk robotaxis or LLM’s we’re rushing to put into our schools and streets.
For the past three years, the city has been giving cash to some struggling renters, no strings attached.
The first-in-the-nation experiment has been even more successful than researchers studying its impact expected.

Philly’s first-in-the-nation experiment giving cash to struggling renters is working, researchers say
Families that got cash rental assistance were less likely to be evicted, experience homelessness, and report having serious problems with their homes, according to a study of the PHLHousing+ program.

@davidwcochrane.bsky.social was applauding the Gaza segment on Power & Politics tonight. You gave Danny Glenwright from Save the Children the space to rage about what is going on and for the first time in a long time I was able to see real Gaza coverage and reporting on the CBC. More of this please.

If you’re curious about UBI and what a guaranteed livable basic income could look like in Canada, UBI Works breaks it down clearly, including Bill S‑206, introduced by Senator Kim Pate on May 28, 2025, to create a national framework. Worth a read.

At this point, it is difficult to imagine ever entering the United States again in my lifetime. SCOTUS has done generational damage to the rule of law. Congress offers no resistance to a fascist regime. Trump's eventual defeat or death will not fix this, the entire GOP is evil. It's irreparable.
SCOTUS is savagely beating the corpse that was once the rule of law in America. Another key turning point in what is now unequivocally a fascist state to our south. If you go to the United States, you do not enjoy any rights.
