For more than six decades, Lloyd Robertson helped Canadians make sense of the world.

For millions of us, he was a familiar face in our living rooms. A reassuring voice in moments of uncertainty. A calm and steady presence through the moments that shaped our nation.

Tonight as we mourn his passing and celebrate a life well-lived, I’m thinking of his family, his colleagues, and all those whose lives he touched.

They came into this World Cup as the dark horses.

Qualified from a group consisting of France and Senegal

Defeated Brazil and took England to extra time.

They introduced us to the iconic Vikings row as well.

Thank you Norway, you had a tournament to remember. 🇳🇴👏

[SnoopyVibes Fan @SnoopyVibep4]

He didn't win the cup. He won our respect. 🇳🇴

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

Athletes like Erling Haaland and Alysa Liu hava captured our hearts because we live in a time of incompetent leaders and toxic masculinity. It is such a refreshing rebuke to see people performing at high levels while having fun and being their full selves.

A HUGE day for @TeamCanada in Houston today! The mission is clear - have a GREAT game and WIN this round! @FIFAWorldCup

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

Here’s something to watch for — last week I wrote an op-ed for the Vancouver Sun @vancouversun on why/how the pedestrianized Granville Street for the World Cup should be extended to the end of August, and opened every summer from now on. It will be in the print edition Thursday.

THANK YOU!!
May I also add :
it is en route… not on route.

A small public service announcement from the Department of Things That You Should Know…

It has not “peeked” your interest.
Nor has it “peaked” your interest.

…It has piqued your interest.

You are not “phased” by something.
You are fazed by it.

If you’ve had a long day, you are weary.
If you suspect someone is an idiot, you are wary.

It is “due course”, not “do course”.
“Per se”, not “per say”.

And while we’re here, it’s “could have”, not “could of”, but that particular battle may already be lost.

Thank you for your attention during this brief outbreak of grammatical housekeeping.

This has been a @LairdofthManor announcement.🎩💙

Norway fans are doing a “Viking Row” up the escalator at Boston’s South Station before heading to the World Cup

Adding this to the list of things I’ve never seen before and probably never will again

Vancouver 🇨🇦 is ridiculously beautiful. Mountain view at the end of city centre streets. ⛰️
