It takes time


Was the same with women’s soccer and now there are lots of great teams with clear identities that reflect their nation.. a couple of world cups ago I was so impressed with France and Japan

the Zelensky Ave movement is growing… personally i think they should rename it Slava Ukraini Ave (Glory to Ukraine Ave.)

Canadian MPs vote to urge Ottawa to rename street, home to Russian Embassy, after Ukrainian president Zelensky
Members of Parliament in the House of Commons unanimously voted for a motion urging the city of Ottawa to rename part of a street home to the Russian embassy after Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky.

the "C" in the middle of that diagram is the logo for the Conservative Party of Canada.

background: there are two "top-tier" parties in canada, the liberals and the conservatives.  their names are descriptive: the liberals lean left, the conservatives lean right (sometimes far-right…).  on the second tier are parties that will never win the majority but occasionally can be part of a coalition government: the New Democratic Party (far-left/socialist), and the Bloc Quebecois (left-leaning, separatist).

Given recent events I think it's time to revisit this idea… and yes NOVA can come over

Wow per wikipedia this map has been around since 2004

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesusland_map

and there are versions that hand over Alberta to Jesusland… and since it was created some of newer swing states like VA and AZ would get added

yeah, the great one is going soft in his old age.  he was also recently pictured partying with Kid Rock.  maybe all those years living in Edmonton, Alberta - AKA Canada's most conservative province - has affected him.

Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Attend Primus’ Rush Tribute Show in Toronto

"We were treated to the weird and wonderful experience of watching Primus perform our music: A Farewell to Kings in [its] entirety."
And the verdict?
"Totally nailed it!"

Canada's Men's soccer team went on strike arguing for better pay after qualifying for their first World Cup in 36 years. 

Never miss an opportunity to line your own pockets….wait, that's a very American thing to do.

Scrawling anti-Jewish graffiti at a university in Toronto yesterday

I just didn’t expect that in Canada. I guess wherever a Jew goes that’s what happens

My Jewish grandfather migrated to Argentina in 1920 but his older siblings mostly went to Toronto in the 1890s via Brooklyn…I believe 1-2 stayed in Brooklyn
