Blue Jays tying the series is all well and good, but my proudest moment as a Canadian was watching Josh Naylor check on Ernie Clement after Clement had tagged him out.
Naylor knew he had just made a huge blunder but his first thought was for a fellow player.

One reason I think it’s important to continue to highlight the disparity on our streets is that most people just don’t see it.
Despite it being obvious to some, so many people don't have clarity because we have done such an incredible job of normalizing this imbalance.
