This whole week in Madrid, I have been lobbying for more spaces for Afghan women in exile. This is excellent news. Congratulations to everyone for advocacy especially my colleague @stevecockburn.bsky.social for updating us and working on it along with others at Sport & Rights Alliance 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻!!!
📢 Big breakthrough - FIFA announces creation of an official Afghan women’s refugee team.

Much still to do but a crucial step towards recognition and massive kudos to the incredible players leading this campaign! 👏⚽️

What a game!!! Terrific work from #HFXWanderers: clutch tackles, smooth passing, and three goals - in the face of some terrific play from Pacific FC in turn!

Also, Elcid Parrot was a hit and he mostly stayed in place like I hoped he would. No doubt he'll be back soon.

Stellar atmosphere & a tremendous on-the-pitch performance underlining the determination of the @nsl.ca to be a destination league & secure 🇨🇦‘s position as a global ⚽️ football power while nurturing the next generation on it’s pitches.

Bravo to all involved!

So pleased & proud to have witnessed the first ever @nsl.ca goal along with the other moments of a match marking an important development in women’s professional soccer & sports in 🇨🇦.
The first-ever NSL goal.

Since Thatcher, UK politics have lurched ever more to the Right. So much so that a moderate socialist like Jeremy Corbyn was portrayed by @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social as a Putin asset, at the very time when Russian oligarchs wives were paying £100k+ to play tennis with Boris Johnson.

I agree. Thanks for posting!
City council elections are soon. @lucymaloney.bsky.social would make a great councillor because she is honest, smart (lawyer with government and industry experience), compassionate (longtime community organizer) and is on the right side of infrastructure (notably cycling) and housing issues.

A significant & important moment in the development of professional football in Canada!

LOL brilliant!

I miss respectful disagreements & discussion —and being 12 years old, watching Question Period with PET, Joe Clark & Ed Broadbent.
There was a special moment at the recent Elbows Up meeting at Metropolitan United Church.
After his speech, the Honourable David Crombie came over to me and gave me a warm embrace.
Thank you Donald Trump for bringing so many people from such diverse views together.
We are team Canada.

We're joining @sportrightsall.bsky.social in calling on #FIFA to recognize the Afghan Women's national football team so they can compete in international competition.
