We could not be more proud of you Team Canada! You have captured the heart and pride of our entire country. ❤️ Stunning final goal by Canada's own @cmcdavid97. As my hockey father said tonight with tears in his eyes, this was our Super Bowl. It was a truly great game - congratulations to all players.

I have worked hard over the past two years with our local businesses and economic advocacy groups to improve the health of our local economy. Without good paying jobs spread across the city, our quality of life will continue to deteriorate.
