I just had to play “Freed from Desire” this morning.
That Whitecaps match last night had highs and lows, and the emotion was evident from start to finish.
It was a delight to be there for this team’s “Slay the Dragon” moment.
Bring on the West Final! #VWFC

Happy Doctor Who Day! A story thread on the life of its Canadian co-creator, Sydney Newman.
Today is Doctor Who Day, which honours the day that Doctor Who premiered on the BBC in 1963.
The TARDIS, The Doctor and many other aspects of the show are thanks to its co-creator, Sydney Newman of Toronto.
This is his story.

2-1 Rise. Incredible. Vancouver sports teams never win. What is this feeling. I don’t even want to burn anything

I correctly got all the teams moving on to the divisional finals.
Only two of the eight did I correctly guess # of games needed.

The Vancouver Whitecaps have become the third Canadian club to reach the final of the Concacaf #ChampionsCup, following in the footsteps of Montreal in 2015 and Toronto in 2018. #VWFC

You know what? Good for Tocchet. That's exactly what this organization deserves. When you treat as many people/players/STHs as poorly as the Canucks org have over the last decade, you absolutely deserve the one guy you went above and beyond for rug pulling you to say, "nah, cya!"

If “truss” isn’t a measure of time, it should be.
Mark Carney will surpass the prime ministerial tenure of Liz Truss on Saturday.

As others are saying — I dunno if Americans realize it but from coast to coast to coast, Elections Canada runs the entire country’s election.
It keeps it secure, fair, non-partisan, and efficient.
It’s all hand ballots, hand counted.

Today is election day in Canada! Polls indicate the result will be close, but we have an opportunity to reject the nü-right and embrace empathy, truth, and critical thinking.
It's awful but today we need to clearly demonstrate to each other and the world that we are not an echo of the USA.

First attempt of roasting raw cashews by air fryer.
Not bad, but could use a little more seasoning.
A pack of raw cashews is less expensive at Costco relative to a a bag of already-roasted cashews.
