A Rare Canadian Consensus: Views of the U.S. Sour
Negative views of the United States dominate across regions, demographics, and political lines — placing the U.S. closer to non-democratic states than to democratic allies.

I had trouble understanding why any Canadians opposed a firearms buy-back plan — a simple way to have fewer weapons available to potential mass shooters without further ownership restrictions.

We may never fully reconcile with the horrific, senseless violence that ripped through Tumbler Ridge this past week.
But we can find comfort in each other. We can look after each other. To those families who have lost loved ones: we mourn with you.

“Before they changed it to hockey, Heated Rivalry was about doubles luge,” reports an IOC official. “But then they realized they literally couldn’t make a show any hornier than the actual Olympic event.”
Doubles Luge canceled as Olympics runs out of condoms
CORTINA, ITALY — Following the news that the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics had run out of condoms, the International Olympic Committee was forced to call off the doubles luge event.

I think the PM and the party leaders flying together to Tumbler Ridge is an important, vital gesture of unity and solidarity, but I think it can also speak to seriousness — to not accepting what happened on Tuesday and to realising it's something that demands a response.

A massive number of people are going to descend there tomorrow.
May those that arrive have respect and grace for the unimaginable grief.
