My eyes were wet from start to finish. I thought of being little in a big world & watching my son's first tries at this mad game. ESPN's Open to the NHL season is beautiful. I didn't expect to cry today-this is stunning. There's nothing like this sport. We at ESPN love the sport as you do. ❤️ Enjoy.
Canada resident breaks down in tears because he life may be over, “I'm about to be a victim of the Canadian healthcare system”
She has cancer. She did everything she was asked to including Chemo, additional tests and seeing the multiple specialists required for surgery. Unfortunately because the way healthcare works in Canada, the process took so long that her tumor has now spread and she’s no longer a candidate for surgery
“ These past five weeks of having to go through the system, waiting for appointments, waiting for diagnostic imaging, waiting for results and reports, my tumor has spread way too far — They let me sit there for two months with no treatment — this is the system that we live in”
What’s crazy is I found this is not uncommon in Canada, and can actually even take much longer than this
On the faster end for high priority major cancer it takes 6–12 weeks from the “we think we can operate” meeting to the OR, plus 4–8 weeks of extra tests beforehand
3- 6 months of sequential waits
Slower provinces can take 6–12 months or more. Quebec’s public lists show thousands waiting for obstetric, gynecologic surgery. The lists show hundreds of people already past 6–12 months mark in waiting
We do not want universal healthcare like this in America
This is what liberals are fighting for
25 years ago, four hijacked planes changed America forever.
Real air traffic control audio from that morning: "We have a hijacked aircraft headed towards New York. Is this real world or exercise?" "No, this is not an exercise."
19 terrorists. Four planes. Two towers, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania where passengers on Flight 93 stormed the cockpit rather than let their plane become another weapon.
By the end of that morning, 2,977 innocent people never came home. Mothers and fathers. Sons and daughters.
But in our worst hour, we saw our best selves: firefighters and police running into buildings everyone else was running out of. A country that, for a while, forgot its divisions and simply stood together as Americans.
25 years later, September 11th is passing from memory into history — and history can fade if we let it.
Say their names. Honor their courage. Remember their sacrifice.
Never forget. 🇺🇸
Over New York Harbor, 2,977 drones lit up the sky in the shape of the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers — one drone for each victim of the September 11 attacks.
Never forget. 🇺🇸

The last known footage of Peter Ganci alive is four seconds long. He is being told the towers are about to come down.
He was the top uniformed officer in the FDNY, with 11,000 firefighters under him. He called them his children. He ran the rescue of both towers from a command post on West Street, sending his men up the stairs while thousands came down.
The South Tower fell on that command post and he lived. He went into the debris after his men, sent another chief north to safety, and stayed. Twenty-nine minutes later the North Tower fell on him.
Peter Ganci is an American hero. 🇺🇸
On the day of the first games after 9/11, Joe and Jack Buck were on the call in St. Louis.
With tears in his eyes, Jack delivered a moving poem titled “For America” in the pregame ceremony and expertly captured the emotion of the moment.
