OK, but does Canada have a HR celebration for the #WBC? I rewatched Caissie’s home run yesterday and didn’t see anything. Did I just miss it?

Last I checked it was 7-0, and now it’s 7-7!? What is happening? Haha

Well, I have to get back to work. Enjoy the game, everyone!

Watching Canada vs the Blue Jays is fun because I’m cheering for both ? β€” a very unusual experience!

I thought Canada’s were kind of boring, but the GB ones are just terrible.

Byelection coming up in my riding really soon. Guess who I’m NOT voting for. Why would we ever trust you with a majority?? I hope you and your staffers read your mentions here and wake tf up @mark-carney.bsky.social

This is so profoundly disappointing, I don’t know where to begin. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS ILLEGAL AND IMMORAL WAR.

I should know better by now, really.

To your point about going to the States: I have some friends who are travelling down for spring training in a couple of weeks and I really wish they weren’t :( it’s chilling to hear you say so bluntly β€œDon’t come.”

In a world of US Men's Olympic hockey teams, be a Mariner's Josh Naylor talking about the first female umpire in the MLB.

This is so neat!! I didn’t know this existed.

Yes to all this!! It’s really affected me,
too, tbh. Maybe because I come from a hockey family, played for many years, and experienced so much misogyny firsthand. How is it still like this?! Sucks to love the game and hate the culture.

Look how much Canadians hate the United States now It’s not just about the trade war. Nearly half of America’s neighbors to the north now think the U.S. is a bigger threat to world peace than Russia.

Had a lot of fun watching the Olympics, and it’s sad to end on a reminder that the world is full of evil, vile peopleβ€”especially among those who hold power, both cultural and political.

I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

I like the taste, but it’s got to be pomegranate. So much work for so little juice. Way too seed-heavy.

Oh I’m well aware haha. I grew up in a hockey town and played hockey for years (as did both my brothers). But I do find it genuinely heartening that the top player in Canada, the player so many young people look up to, is not conservative. I hope hockey culture more broadly can change.

I was struck by the number of athletes for whom this would be their last Olympics. We need to change things before it’s too late.
