Victoria Mboko had one of the most exciting tennis seasons in Canadian history — a WTA 1000 title and a surge into the top 20. 
 
Victoria, your story is an inspiration, and the best chapters are yet to be written.

U.S. companies are moving here for a reason and more will follow.

U.S. businesses have relocated operations north of the border, citing “policy changes and regulatory instability” in the U.S., and a more favourable business climate in Canada. 🇨🇦

@support.bsky.team can you take a look at the video player. If you maximize a video in a post and let it run, Bluesky becomes unresponsive after about 15 seconds. If you quickly minimize within a few seconds you’re okay. I’m on an uptodate iPhone Pro 16. It’s been an issue for a couple releases.

So apparently this is fine but Canadian governments using advertising to share views with Americans about trade is completely inappropriate.

Got it.

That means thousands jobs, full control over maintenance.
Ongoing talks are to swap the U.S. engine for a Canadian-made Rolls-Royce one from Montreal, which would break free from U.S. export controls.

The Toronto #BlueJays gave us arguably the closest #WorldSeries in modern history, and the most fun and inspiring playoff run I can remember in any sport. I LOVE THAT TEAM, and 100% believe #TORONTO should have a HUGE CELEBRATION ANYWAY, to thank the team, fans, city and COUNTRY for a legendary run!

The Dodger’s may have won the World Series, but the Blue Jays have won the hearts of Canadians. They played with such joy, put everything they had into the game & supported & believed in their team mates. I hope that each of these guys know we are proud of every one of them. Go Jays! ⚾️🇨🇦

Congratulations to the Toronto Blue Jays on a magnificent season. It is a shame either team had to lose. And this was a gut punch. 💔💔

Classy players, fanbase, and truly one of the finest cities in the world.

Future is bright with Yeasavage, Barger, and Vladdy.

Now go re-sign Bo.
