The beauty of Canadian television is that the government uses my tax dollars to fund two shows about hockey that were made in a lab to be either as gay or as heterosexual as scientifically possible

Signal boosting the official @Esport_Canada statement.

𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗘𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗱𝗮 𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗱𝗮’𝘀 𝗡𝗼𝗻-𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗥𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗴𝘂𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 𝗙𝗜𝗙𝗔𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗖𝘂𝗽

Esport Canada would like to express our deep disappointment that, for a second consecutive year, Canada will not be represented in Rocket League at the FIFAe World Cup, despite being home to some of the world’s top talent.

We recognize and respect the pressures and priorities currently facing Canada Soccer, but stand by the elite players and passionate fans across Canada who deserve the opportunity to compete on the world stage.

In response to Canada Soccer's decision to not participate in the 2024 FIFAe World Cup this past year, Esport Canada has worked diligently to ensure that our own internal management, coaching, and team selection processes meet Olympic standards and reflect the principles outlined in the Canadian Sport Governance Code and the Canadian Sport Policy. In doing so, we have upheld the ethical frameworks of the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport to the best of our ability, with a commitment to transparency, fairness, and Safe Sport in an effort to collaboratively support Canada Soccer's participation by meeting all standard for operations and participation at this year's event.

We call upon the Government of Canada @CanadianPM and Sport Canada to urgently review the recognition and status of esports within our national sport system. With over 89% of Canadian youth engaging in gaming, and a growing number of elite players that disproportionately represent Canada on the world stage per capita, it is vital that this dynamic and influential sector of competition be fully supported with the same care, structure, and opportunity afforded to other sports.

While we are saddened by this missed opportunity for Canadian Rocket League players, we reaffirm our readiness to support national participation in this and all future Rocket League and nation-based esports events. We will continue to advocate for the esports community of Canada and remain committed to working collaboratively with all stakeholders to ensure Canadian esports players have a clear, ethical, and supportive pathway to represent our nation with pride.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

so telling 60,000 american settlers in the west bank to go back to brooklyn is antisemitic but telling 1.5 million palestinians in gaza to go to saudi arabia is just good real estate planning

The Globe & Mail speaks the inconvenient truth that politicians won't: homes can't both be good investments and affordable.

"Making homes more affordable, for instance, means bringing down the prices of existing homes – something homeowners who are sitting on big capital gains on their primary residences aren’t eager to contemplate." Bullseye 💯

Virtually every housing policy and pundit dances around this point, when our entire political economic system is aligned towards raising land prices — regardless of which party's in power.

"He [JT] kept saying he wanted to make homes affordable for young buyers while simultaneously insisting that home prices had to remain high to ensure the net worth of older Canadians wasn’t hurt."

The public is gaslit into believing we can blow and suck at the same time, making homes affordable without lower prices. By definition that's not possible.

"No astute politician is rushing to antagonize the two-thirds of Canadians who already own a home by engineering a big decline in house prices. So we remain stuck. No matter how much our leaders talk up the need to make homes more affordable, the political calculations lean entirely in the other direction."

Maybe Canadians aren't willing to make the hard choices because no one is presenting them with a real choice. Compare the housing plans of the 3 major parties — in mechanism, scale, and ambition they can barely be differentiated when contrasted against the scope of the problem.

We will not crack the housing problem without tough choices: make land (what makes RE appreciate) a less attractive long-term investment. Shifting taxes from income to land value will lower its returns as an asset and therefore price, while better rewarding work and productivity.

Any politician or policy silent on this is simply ignoring the real problem.

this is amazing. Nelson Mandela actually visited Gaza in 1999, and said: "Choose peace rather than confrontation, except in cases where we cannot move forward. Then, if the only alternative is violence, we will use violence."

Israel just destroyed a 2,000-year-old site in Lebanon.

Israel has attacked Lebanon more than 52 times since the ceasefire was agreed.

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

Video shows the moment an ambulance crew was directly shot at by Israeli soldiers in Nuseirat, Gaza. Hours earlier, a group of journalists were reportedly targeted by an Israeli quadcopter in the same area.

[Suppressed News. @SuppressedNws]

🚨BREAKING: Dr. Munir Al-Bursh, Director General of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, to Al Jazeera:

“Israel is testing weapons on us that we do not recognize. They drop bombs with terrifying sounds, and when a person gets within 200-300 meters of them, they vaporize.

The massacres happening in northern Gaza are unknown to us until later. Nobody calls to inform us. The Israeli army bombs entire residential blocks, wiping out all their inhabitants, and we only find out about them a day or two later.

When these weapons are used on residential buildings, they reduce them to small fragments and rubble. We urgently need an international investigation committee to uncover what ‘Israel’ is doing to us.”
