Canada opposes any measures that risk normalizing Russia's illegal war of aggression against Ukraine. Our position remains clear: as long as Russia continues its unjustifiable invasion, it should not enjoy the privileges of international sport.
We continue to stand in solidarity with Ukraine and remain unwavering in our support for its sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity.
@Matt_S_Britton@MerriamWebster Further to this - while not really one word - I am SO sick of "Flavour profile"! I've been a cook/chef since well... when THAT consisted of "more salt"
🇳🇴 Norway manager Stale Solbakken with a strong response to Folarin Balogun's red card being suspended:
🗣️ Solbakken: "It is a big mistake by FIFA. It is not a great conclusion. He got a red card and the VAR concluded that it was a red card. That means you are suspended for one game.
I think what is really bad about that situation is, if the USA beat Belgium, they will always have that extra thing about it.
The Belgians will be furious. What about the next red card? What happens there? Will some committee take it away? It’s a bad, bad, bad, bad decision that will hurt the World Cup and the United States."
WORLD RECORD SUMMER MCINTOSH
SHE’S DONE IT IN MONTREAL
Canadian swimmer phenom Summer McIntosh takes down the longest standing women’s world record (6,101 days).
It’s an astounding 2:01.65 in the 200m butterfly. McIntosh now holds FOUR long course world records
If you think liberals steal elections and control the weather but also let Republicans control all three branches of government you may be fucking stupid beyond repair.
A quick way to boost your mood is to begin reading daily. In my youth I experienced abuse, poverty, the death of a dear friend, and books were the thread that led me out of the labyrinth of despair. You will not regret beginning to read again.
Threatening to picket a supervised consumption site in an area with one of the highest overdose death rates in Vancouver and laughing about it is just sad.
The people using those services aren't punchlines. They're someone's son, daughter, mother, father, brother, or sister.
People are showing their true colours. Some would rather see supervised consumption sites disappear than see people survive long enough to have a chance at recovery.
That's not public safety, that's a loss of compassion.
DO BETTER.
@SnipeCity420 Hoping he gets some play with the Battalion this year before the Penn State commitment. It's not far from me and would love to see him play!
RANT: It’s so weird to me how critical people are about Alexander Karmanov in every single post he’s mentioned in.
This gentle giant is living out his dream and every reply is some condescendingly smug “he can’t even skate!” or “less than 1% chance he sees the NHL!”
…No shit Sherlock. He’s a 7th round pick the size of a California redwood. That doesn’t make you smart, it makes you an asshole. Let the kid develop into whatever he develops into. It takes such little effort to be a decent fan. End rant. #SJSharks
Caolan is a real fucking reporter. Missiles exploding behind him, and he keeps filming, while the entire Western media hides, closes its eyes, and pretends the war in Ukraine isn’t even happening.
Fucking thank you, @CaolanReports, for doing what the world won’t.
