The influencers, Tiktokers, etc., are for the most part parroting info gathered from institutional media.

But none of what I've been so fortunate to witness compares to last night when the Canadians held their own little tea party in Boston and — as the best headline written about the dramatic win proudly roars — "trumped the United States."

I love my country.

I've watched the Canadian women, the Canadian juniors win big over the US. The Blue Jays. The Raptors. Our amazing Canadian sprinters, swimmers, skiers and so many other fantastic athletes.
