How to handle a rainbow crosswalk if you encounter one:

[WeBelieve @WeBelieveEM]

Carter Hart is about to play in the Stanley Cup Final. He was acquitted of sexual assault charges this past summer, but there is a lot more to the story. With the brightest lights now shining on him, it is important to understand the nuance of the controversial case.

“We Believe E.M” does not mean we believe every detail of her testimony. It does not mean we believe she did not make any mistakes that night. It simply means we believe she was sexually assaulted. And the evidence supports that belief.

I will leave you with some facts. This is all available if you research (tw // sa):

- There is ZERO evidence or testimony that EM ever asked Michael McLeod to invite additional men to that hotel room. McLeod never testified, and all we have is a video interview with police where he never made that claim, meanwhile LYING when he denied sending a text invite to ALL his teammates. On the otherhand, there is text evidence the following day of EM telling McLeod she did not expect more partners, and it was not disputed by McLeod.

- There is ZERO evidence or testimony that EM ever asked (or was asked) for Cal Foote to do the splits over her. Even if you believe the men’s story that she was saying “have sex with me”, she never said “teabag me”. The judge actually agreed in her report there was no consent, instead she dismissed it saying it was non-sexual based on Carter Hart’s testimony that Foote was not naked.

- In 2022, Alex Formenton & Dillon Dube BOTH CONFESSED to Hockey Canada that Cal Foote was naked during the splits. This was ruled inadmissible on a technicality. Other than Hart, no other witness dared to say Foote was clothed; they all pretended to not remember.

With this information, at the very least, McLeod and Foote are guilty:

- Foote performed a sexual act without consent. It does not make him a rapist, but it is a crime

- McLeod is an accessory to that sexual assault

If these two men were given the guilty verdict I strongly believe they deserved (even if it was a proverbial slap on the wrist; i.e. a 6-month house arrest), it would have been an amazing teaching moment for our nation while setting a modern standard for consent.

The conduct of the others, including Hart, may not have been illegal. There was certainly not enough evidence to prove it was. But that does not mean what they did wasn’t morally reprehensible. The NHL and Hockey Canada both agreed.

The NHL kept the players out of the league for months PAST the ruling, citing their own private investigation. Hockey Canada stood in the House of Commons and said “harm was caused” after paying out a civil settlement.

But what Hart did was more than morally wrong. He lied under oath to protect his teammates. This is actually perjury. The judge by law is not privy to those 2022 confessions, but we as a public are. We are allowed to pass judgement in the court of public opinion.

Hart is not a conquering hero who overcame adversity. He is a liar who abused his privilege and legal protection to obstruct justice. He is allowed to continue his career, and we are allowed to remind him of his abhorrent behaviour.

A rapist has the chance to win the Stanley cup and you’re going to sit here and tell me that accusations ruin men’s lives

☀️ Good morning Canada. Welcome to my misinformation edition

🇨🇦 Canada politics

Today’s theme: how misinformation spreads through influencer networks and social media.

• A viral claim from commentator Marc Nixon cited a “poll” from Maple Polling claiming Mark Carney had 77.1% negative approval.

When questioned and compared with legitimate polling data, Maple Polling deleted the tweet. The misinformation had already reached ~19K impressions.

• A second viral claim alleged Carney was booed on a jumbotron clip at a sports event. The claim was circulated by accounts including Tracy Wilson and echoed by others.

The accompanying TSN video clip contains no audible booing.

• Claims that Canada is planning to join the European Union also circulated online. While commentator Mario Zelaya framed this as a serious Liberal proposal, there is no government policy or negotiation suggesting Canada could or would join the European Union.

• Another viral post suggested Bill C‑9 (Canada) could criminalize passages from the Bible. In reality, the bill concerns judicial discipline procedures and does not regulate religious speech.

• Jasmine Laine claimed Carney ignored French speakers until campaigning in Terrebonne. Yet Carney’s public engagements in Quebec pre-date that event.

📉 Pattern:
Unverified claims → viral posts → impressions accumulate → corrections rarely travel as far.

This is just in the last week.

Pluralistic democracies depend on evidence-based debate, not viral narratives.

[HBO Max @hbomax]

We are deeply saddened by the news of Eric Dane’s passing. He was incredibly talented and HBO was fortunate to have worked with him on three seasons of Euphoria. Our thoughts are with his loved ones during this difficult time.

[WeRateDogs @dog_rates]

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

[Hunter Crowther @HunterCrowther]

Canada owes a debt to Brandon Hagel for his continued contributions of punching Matthew Tkachuk in the face.

[Matt Drake @DrakeMT]

I’m more appalled at the idea that random women are actually willing to sleep with Brady Tkachuk than the idea that he cheated.

HOLY SHIT WHAT THE HELL IS ANDRADE DOING HERE!?

Naomi Osaka not congratulating a young black girl who looks up to her on her first main tour trophy is in incredibly poor taste. Salty for what? #wtamontreal

[Devin Heroux @Devin_Heroux]

That was such poor form by Osaka not congratulating Mboko.

And now Mboko giving Osaka her flowers in her moment of victory.

The 18-year-year old all class and grace.

[Grandmasterdiva @grandmasterdiva]

@unrestrictedga1 @DorbyAllen Absolutely agree!!!

[❣️ @soymeii]

do you ever sit back and realize you are not anybody’s favourite person, you’re just kinda there and then get the sudden urge to distance yourself from everyone and chill alone

[Grandmasterdiva @grandmasterdiva]

@auntyskal I just can't 😂😂😂

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Elbows up, Canada.

kendrick bringing out serena williams to crip walk after drake stalked that woman publicly for years and obsessively threw shots at her for turning him down is so wild, that man is the definition of chaotic good
