This is ridiculous misreading of George Grant -- whatever criticisms he had of Diefenbaker he was far more critical of pro-USA elites who wouldn't defend Canadian sovereignty.

Good history lessons for Canadians As George Grant warned in Lament for a Nation, a Canadian elite more concerned with its own ideological preening than with national interest sleepwalked the country into preventable loss of economic well being. History doesn’t repeat exactly,

The replies to this are a tiny taster of the info ops that will be taking place if / when this happens.

If Quebec holds a referendum, we won't see the love-in for Quebec across Canada that we saw in 1995. Many will argue it's best for Quebec to go its separate way. Many more will utterly reject any notion that Quebec should get more $$$$ and power within Canada. You?



Looking at Group J, I have to wonder if there's ever been a World Cup group in which all countries start with the same letter.


#CanMNT qualified for the knockout rounds of last summer's Copa America after benefitting from red cards in each of their last two group-stage matches. Yes, this is disappointing, but the project will be judged on what happens next summer.

A sitting U.S. Senator was just forcibly thrown out of a DHS presser. A SITTING U.S. SENATOR was physically stopped from asking questions in an OPEN PRESS CONFERENCE. This. is. not. normal.

BREAKING: California Democratic Senator @AlexPadilla4CA just crashed DHS Secretary Noem’s press conference in LA and was forcibly removed.

I’m not sure Gabe Vilardi is going to be able to fix this.

My regular Super Bowl reminder that no, it’s not "like a chess match out there"!

From my understanding: Because FIFA moved the Canada Soccer case immediately from the Disciplinary Committee directly to the FIFA Appeal Committee, Canada can appeal this at the CAS much faster. It would allow for an appeal to have an impact on the Olympic tournament.

I'm going to keep saying it, the advantage you get from spying on every practice in a tournament is less than that from one dive in the penalty area. It is certainly much, much less than two wins. But a drone is novel cheating, while diving is cheating the TV tells us to accept.

JUST NOW FIFA ruling just in on drone scandal. Canada deducted six points at Olympics. Fined CHF 200,000. Priestman, Lombardi and Mander suspended from any football related activity for a year. Full FIFA STATEMENT

Proud of the lads. What a shift. They captivated the nation, again! Bright spots today included Johnston, Cornelius, Kone (other than that incident), Larin. I know they’re sick of moral victories but people who’ve never spoken to me about soccer before have been talking about


Well. This is bitterly disappointing in real time, but I suspect we'll all feel better before too long. #CanMNT


Now, that was an ICE cold penalty by Kone. That was Zen personified in a penalty kick. #CanMNT


Canada in the knock-out round of Copa America. What a world.#CanMNT


After watching Canada get CONCACAF'ed for years, I am absolutely loving getting CONMEBOL'ed! #CanMNT


Canada struggling to string together a few passes, nevermind mount any sort of coherent attack against 10-man Peru here. #CanMNT


Do they normally say a prayer before Copa America starts?


Oh my God, these Scottish crowd shots are depressing. #euro2024


It was a decent first half from Canada. But this sudden shithammering can't be good for vibes. #CanMNT
