Trust you read it at @ukings during FYP?
I saw the Odyssey on Sunday and have been thinking about it steadily since, reading articles etc, and have a few things I want to say about it.

Great piece by @dannychau even without any Scarborough food recommendations built into the piece.
As someone who left home in L.A. to build a life in Toronto back in 2019, Kawhi's return means a whole lot to me. On the eve of my first Canada Day as a citizen, I wrote about the player who changed the course of my life. theringer.com/2026/06/30/nba…

Looking forward to @brofromanother reading this out to @SeanFennessey in TO.
Andrés Giménez has more home runs, RBIs, stolen bases, doubles, triples, a higher OPS, and a higher WAR than Bo Bichette this season.

This features Lemieux fighting the great @NevinMarkwart !
Claude Lemieux and Montreal Canadiens mixing it up with the Bruins in November ’86 at Boston Garden, the era when both teams used the same tunnel, which is unimaginable in the modern day. Fred Cusick and Dave Shea on the Bruins TV call.

Continue to be impressed with @cohere team. Have always been looking internationally for growth. CDN tech firms need this access to the international and cannot be reliant with domestic markets.
Cohere and Aleph Alpha are joining forces to build a leading sovereign AI platform, anchored in Canada and strengthened by Germany. This is an important moment for Canada, Germany, and democratic countries that want trusted AI options built with our values, our workers, our IP, and our data in mind. Sovereignty is not solitude. It means building with trusted partners, from a position of strength. 🇨🇦🇩🇪 Cohere et Aleph Alpha unissent leurs forces pour bâtir une plateforme d’IA souveraine, ancrée au Canada et renforcée par l’Allemagne. Il s’agit d’un moment crucial pour le Canada, l’Allemagne et les pays démocratiques qui souhaitent disposer de solutions d’IA de confiance, conçues dans le respect de nos valeurs, de nos travailleurs, de notre propriété intellectuelle et de nos données. La souveraineté n’est pas synonyme d’isolement. Elle consiste à construire avec des partenaires de confiance, en s’appuyant sur une position de force.

Ha, 28 years ago is so long! I’m sure this isn’t the CIAU in Halifax that @iananywhere and I watched Bishops beat Mac.
28 years since their last national semifinal showdown, it is Bishop's vs. Victoria again at the @USPORTSca Final 8, with a spot in the gold medal game on the line. Who gets Carleton tomorrow? We have it for you now on @cbcsports --

Corporate Canada needs way more of this, thank you @FionaMcK and @tobi Hate public always looking to govt, industry in CDN should also step up like in other countries.
With the end of the Olympics in sight, @tobi and I are donating 1M to Great to Gold, a distinct fund within the @CDNOlympicFDN that is very entrepreneurial and data driven. They run the numbers, pick the winners, and give them what they need. Of the 19 medals won by Canada so far, 15 of them are supported by Great to Gold. If your family has enjoyed the Olympics as much as we have, consider helping out the athletes that have brought us so much joy. Team Canada forever! olympic.ca/great-to-gold/

Companies could pick a sport to support and make massive diff supporting. Just like tech, get in on the ground floor.

Not mentioned: CBC used the international announcer feed for XC and Biathlon, both not great. Why not have CDN’s call it from the feed in Canada?

Better fact check: utter nonsense.

Other than the RBC niche program, this ain’t the case. Really wish it was though. That, and if you live in Calgary it helps a lot.
From what I know: When you retire from a more common sport like soccer/hockey/etc (in Canada at least) you can go to these assessment camps where they test your athleticism and match you with a less common Olympic sport based on your specific skills. Then you start training!

Whatever they were using in greater Buffalo in Nov ‘99 for my 5km PB is what counts!
The five levels of running PB's: Level 1 - Strava PB's Level 2 - Milesplit/TFRRS Level 3 - Athlinks Level 4 - World Athletics profile Level 5 - hand-timed relay split

About a decade ago I went to Winnipeg for work and stayed in haunted Room 202. It was pre-renovation, room looked way creepier than the picture below. It was a very strange night, and I didn't sleep well at all.
The Fort Garry Hotel in Winnipeg is considered to be one of the most haunted place in Canada. From the ghostly guests who remain there, to the haunted Room 202, it is a place with plenty of paranormal happenings. This is the haunted story! 🧵 1/10
