Zlatan Ibrahimović on Canada qualifying for the FIFA World Cup Round of 16 for the first time ever:

🗣️ “This is why people fall in love with football. Today wasn't just about Canada qualifying for the Round of 16 it was about an entire nation creating history that nobody can ever take away.”

“I looked at the faces of the Canadian players after the final whistle. Some were crying, some couldn't believe what had just happened. Those weren't tears of weakness; they were tears of people who had spent their whole lives dreaming of this exact moment.”

“To the supporters, never let anyone tell you football is just a game. I saw families celebrating, children hugging their parents and fans singing with tears in their eyes. These are the moments that unite a country forever.”

“People will remember the goals and the result, but they'll never understand the sacrifices behind it. Years of criticism, disappointments, injuries and pressure have all led to one unforgettable night. That's what makes history so beautiful.”

“For every Canadian player wearing that shirt tonight, remember this feeling. You are no longer just footballers you are the generation that changed your country's football story forever. Every child who picks up a ball tomorrow will believe because of what you achieved today.”

“The knockout stage doesn't care about history, reputation or big names. It rewards courage, belief and those who refuse to give up. Canada earned this moment because they never stopped believing when the rest of the world doubted them.”

“And to the fans, celebrate like there's no tomorrow because nights like these don't come often. Years from now, people won't ask where you watched the match they'll ask how it felt to witness the night Canada reached the Round of 16 for the very first time.”

“This is bigger than football. This is the night an entire nation stopped dreaming about history and started living it.”

It was and is a brilliant, creative idea. 👏Those that have managed to find some negative in it, need a hug in their lives. Well done @CanadaSoccerEN 🇨🇦!

None of this is complicated, but it does require consistency over the years.

Strength, power, bone density, joint health, recovery, and protein — each one is manageable on its own.

The physiology is on your side if you work with it.

It’s time for Prime Minister @MarkJCarney to join me and millions of our fellow Canadians in supporting the appointment of Don Cherry to the Order of Canada, one of our nation’s highest honours.

This shouldn’t even be up for debate. Don Cherry is a Canadian icon, a hockey legend and is loved by Albertans. He’s not just one of the greats, his word and opinion about our national sport is still treated as hockey gospel by millions of Canadians.

His contributions to Canadian sport and culture are undeniable, and the work he did to honour our nation’s veterans was an invaluable contribution to our country. He will forever hold a special place in the hearts of Canadians.

So, put the puck in the net and give Grapes the recognition he deserves.

I’ve been an orthopedic surgeon for nearly 30 years, and a few patterns have become impossible to ignore. One is that many musculoskeletal problems in adults aren’t sudden injuries. They’re the moment when declining capacity and awful metabolic health finally reveals itself.

Over the decades your strength fades, muscle mass declines, as your aerobic capacity tanks. Tendons and connective tissues lose substance, stiffness, and resilience. For years the body compensated... quietly. Then one day a knee hurts during a run to get the train, or shoulder aches reaching overhead, or a back tightens lifting something simple.

At that point the story usually becomes more about structural damage. An MRI gets ordered. Welcome to high-tech, low-medicine. And the MRI almost always finds something. A meniscus tear. A rotator cuff tear. A disc bulge. Why? Because by midlife these findings are extremely common — even in people with no pain at all. If you have a tear in one shoulder, image the other shoulder... you probably have the same tear there. But I digress.

Once the scan appears, the narrative changes. The image becomes the diagnosis. Now the patient believes something is broken, and the focus often shifts to fixing what the MRI shows.

What often gets lost in this is the reason the symptoms appeared in the first place. Many so-called “atraumatic” orthopedic complaints are not purely mechanical failures. They are the moment when reduced strength, declining tissue capacity, and sometimes broader metabolic health issues finally reach a tipping point. Our tissues change over the decades... get over it.

In other words, the MRI didn’t create the problem. Well... it sort of did in this scenario. But all the MRI showed was something that was already there.... because of your age, lifestyle, health and so on.

The real driver of symptoms is often loss of physiologic reserve. Less muscle. Less tendon or aerobic resilience. Less tolerance for load, etc.

Once the MRI enters the picture, the risk becomes overtreatment. This is probably the number one reason people have surgery. When in many cases the most powerful intervention was never the scan or the procedure.

It was rebuilding capacity.

Strong muscles stabilize joints. Aerobic fitness improves metabolic health and tissue perfusion. Gradual loading restores tolerance.

But people often don't take PT seriously prior to surgery. They often take PT very seriously afterwards. Therefore, PT is probably the reason you feel better, despite the surgery.

The irony is that the treatment many people ultimately need is the same thing that might have prevented the problem in the first place.

Staying strong. Staying active. Maintaining the reserve that protects our joints/tendons/muscles/abilities as we age.

We still don’t know the actual details of Mark Carney’s governing agenda

Thus far in the election campaign, Mark Carney and the Liberals have made few specific policy commitments. A personal income tax cut, a top-up to the CBC’s revenues, more funding for seniors, a new federal agency to build social housing, and that’s about it.

Otherwise, his campaign has been mostly directional. He’s nodded in general to support for industries and households in response to Trump’s tariffs, trade diversification, and (possibly) the construction of energy infrastructure.

If polls are accurate, Carney and the Liberals are likely to form the next government. He may even get a majority.

It prompts the question: after he implements his specific policy promises—most of which can be effectuated in a single budget—what will be his policy agenda? What ideas and priorities will guide a four-year term?

It’s a question that Carney himself would presumably like to avoid answering. Obtaining a vague, undefined, and mostly directional mandate would give him maximum flexibility to pursue his own theory of the case, as The Hub’s Rudyard Griffiths puts it.

But Canadians should insist on more details. How will he get more energy infrastructure built when he said that individual provinces effectively have a veto? And how will he reconcile his past skepticism of conventional oil and gas projects with his new talk of building?

What about his promise of balanced budgets and more investment? What kind of investment? And how much?

As for his foreign policy, what does he think about Canada’s relationship with China? Will he pursue closer relations? If so, on what terms? And what about Israel? Will he be an ally to the only liberal democracy in the Middle East?

And how will he handle questions of culture and identity? Will he maintain his predecessor’s skepticism about Canadian history or its identarianism?

There are various other questions that strike at the heart of what kind of prime minister Carney will be.

They’re not meant to commit him to a precise policy agenda for the next four years. That would be unreasonable (and probably not useful) in light of the current uncertainty.

But surely Carney owes Canadians some insight into the ideas and priorities that would shape his prime ministership. They should insist on it before it’s too late.
