Connor McDavid: “I just want to win something again.

That’s what was so incredible about the 4 Nations last year. When I pulled on my jersey for the final against the U.S., I remembered that it had been eight years since that World Championship gold medal in Moscow. That was the last time I celebrated winning something. Eight years. And so that game against the U.S. in Boston last year … it meant so many different things to me. Representing Canada means everything to me. With not being able to play at the Olympics until this season, it’s been this part of me that’s been missing. Some of my favorite hockey memories ever are with a Canada jersey on. Or even just watching as a fan.

2010. 2014. I even remember 2002 (sort of).

Those are core memories for Canadians.

I know a lot of guys around the league feel that way, too. There were guys talking about the 4 Nations a year before the teams were even picked. I think how much we cared came through in that final. When you’ve played in a Game 7 of a Cup Final, you know what tension is. I won’t say that our game against the U.S. was quite there, but it was about as intense as I've ever seen a locker room. I don’t think people quite understand how much that tournament meant to us, the players.

There’s this moment I’ll never forget. Before the OT started, we were sitting around the dressing room, everyone wanted to just get back out there and drop the puck. And I remember looking around and there was Sid, Marchy, Doughty. And I really just remember how calm they were. They weren’t afraid of the moment. All these legends of the game, just in the zone, tying their laces, re-taping their sticks, locked in. And I had this cool little moment, and I’m sure a lot of the younger guys in that room had the same feeling. Maybe it was the red Canada jerseys. But you just looked at those guys and remembered, ‘Man, I grew up a fan of you. I watched you on Saturday nights. This is such an honor.’

In that moment, with everything on the line, I think we all remembered what it was to be a hockey fan. To be a Team Canada fan. To be Canadian.

And then we went out and won it.” https://t.co/7NUU6KAGOo

I sure hope this doesn't just get buried in the news cycle! Confirmation that humanity is not alone in the cosmos... kind of a big deal, right?

@MWMacKenzie “After construction is finished, the City will plant 80 new trees in Harris Park (more than three trees for each one removed) and the total number of trees in the park will then exceed 100.” https://t.co/yEeu0PY8Pz

Hearing PP harp on the ‘carbon tax’ as the reason for inflation is enraging. The ‘carbon tax’ isn’t causing inflation. No matter what politicians say: https://t.co/EcAIFJChAe

Infuriating: Ontario government fulfills promise to overrule independent energy board — in favour of Enbridge Gas: https://t.co/CtVU5zqIdh

Canadian Home Builders Association @CHBANational has said it themselves: "...the extra cost of Net Zero Homes can be off-set by the monthly energy savings - at net-zero monthly cost!" @fordnation @OntarioPCParty https://t.co/kj2663HuH2

[Mike Fabro @MikeFabro]

#Ontario government & @fordnation at it again, doing everything they can to prop up "business as usual" and fight the clean energy transition. Allowing fossil gas companies to spread costs of NEW infrastructure into the 2060s, despite Canada striving for net-zero by 2050 is bad.

[Mike Schreiner @MikeSchreiner]

Once again the Ford government is putting the interests of big corporations before everyday Ontarians and it will just end up costing people more.

The only beneficiary of the government’s meddling in the OEB decision is Enbridge – a company whose CEO made over $19 million last year. And ratepayers will be the big losers.

Greens call on the Ford government to respect the OEB’s decision, abandon this bad bill and stop using ratepayer dollars to subsidize fossil giants.

Do we need more housing? Of course. Does it need to be powered by fossil fuels? Absolutely not. We have the technology to do better, we just need to use it. @WorldGBC @CAGBC
