Google understood the assignment on opening day of Olympic curling 🥌 Mixed Doubles curling begins in three hours folks. Canada won gold in 2018. Italy won gold in 2022.

Dr. Curtis Pozniak, one of the top agricultural researchers and wheat breeding experts at #USask has been recognized with one of the most prestigious agricultural awards in the world. Help us give congratulations! news.usask.ca/articles/res...

Amongst everything it’s so cool to see the reason I became a leafs fan honoured like this. I will never forget how kind Darryl was when he found out that he was the favourite player of a kid born 13 years after he retired.

Darryl Sittler is presented with a golden stick to honour his incredible record that has stood now for 50 years! 👏

Now this is a story. Turns out ice is very dangerous.

My apologies to everyone who has heard this story before. Back in the 1970s, two things were true about UWaterloo: * UW never, ever closed. * Many faculty members owned farms. Cue the Great Storm of 1978.

"If that's not a highlight reel goal I don't know what is" Minnesota's Abbey Murphy beats her defender with a lacrosse move, then slides it over for Bella Fanale to score

17th hour without electricity, power bank is at 0%, it’s too cold to light a candle, we’re raw dogging the blackout

There famously aren’t any rats in Alberta…but there are in Minnesota 🐀

I’m putting out a call to the Historians of Blue Sky (and CBC) in hopes that someone might be able to help me track down a recording I swear I have heard on the Internet. As someone who has visited the hometown of Mathew Halton (CBCs War Correspondent during the WW2) every Christmas my entire life,

There is even a song about this one… though I am also in favour of it getting a Heritage Minute ‘Wop’ May share.google/jXDUnO0rr8Lp...

Another beautiful Shchedryk performance amidst ruins. It was set in what used to be a DTEK thermal power plant — now destroyed by russia. The contrast between russia’s destructive nature and the Ukrainian will to create beauty even in the darkest times is palpable.

Canada’s new government is investing big to attract world-class talent in science and technology — and become an innovation powerhouse.

It's happening! Canada launched two programs to recruit international researchers. Canada Impact+ Research Chairs (1 million/yr for 8 yrs +) Canada Impact+ Emerging Leaders. I will do my best to facilitate the process for those interested. Hit me up. www.canada.ca/en/impact-pl...

🚀 I'm on the #EconSky Job Market! My JMP asks a classic question: Do large, dominant firms foster or hinder innovation? To study this, I turn to the Great Merger Wave (1895–1904), when >2,600 U.S. firms combined into corporate giants like U.S. Steel and DuPont. A JMP 🧵👇 (1/13)

Soldier and Girl at Station Lest we forget 🌺🇨🇦 - Alex Colville

Gen Z seems to have overwhelmingly become interested in the Edmund Fitzgerald. I don't know what has motivated this trend, but I wholeheartedly support it and am now wondering if there's a way to motivate interest in the Franklin Expedition next. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVY8...

This is the Canadian Premier League soccer finals and we have a bicycle kick goal in the middle of a blizzard … and that’s the most Canadian thing I’ve ever seen 😂

New uncanny valley unlocked: inflatable corn maze for urban fall fests.

Been a Toronto sports fan for four decades and I think that’s the single most heart-breaking loss I’ve ever witnessed.

It’s not even choking. You’re up against the best team money can buy who rolled through last and this playoffs against whoever they faced and they pushed them to extra innings in game 7 with two hobbled starters & a bunch of guys who started in the minors. They deserve all the respect.

"Let the spirit of baseball take care of this game" is an all time quote from Buck Martinez

WHAT A CALL BUCK #bluejays

True story, my wife was finishing up something in a video game when I came in to watch the World Series but then the Jays immediately hit those two home runs so now I apparently have to watch the game on my phone.

I'm fine #bluejays

This seems .... amazing, and something that should interest Canada

It is said that baseball is America's Pastime, but the first recorded baseball game in North American history happened north of their border. It was way back in 1838 when two teams came together in a cow pasture near present-day Beachville, Ontario. This is the story. 🧵 1/7

This is one case where being a boring economist helps. Forget the list: *Donate money* Food banks can turn it into food more efficiently than you can and also know what's needed better than even this list.

THE TORONTO BLUE JAYS ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES

In a surprise twist, the Jays win despite Guerrero not being a major factor. The Jays win AND the Maple Leafs are still to blame!

The article ends with: “he welcomes steady access to Tim Hortons coffee after years of U.S supply. "It's fresh, affordable and decent“ glad I’m not the only one who desperately misses having a Tim’s on campus.

I love this attempt to bring the Beige Book content to new mediums. It would just not be the Beige Book if it wasn't very dorky

Folks, this has been a beautiful season. And it’s not over. These are still the best damn dudes. And they’re coming home and still have a shot at winning it all. This is the Season of Good Vibes. Maybe tonight’s not the night to find them…but when you’re ready, dig deep. The dudes need it.

High school?

More evidence of a pretty straightforward strategy for Canada here for everyone (rightfully) mad at the USA. Build lots of Housing + Expand Immigration = Eat the USA's lunch

Imagine if Canadian universities were in the financial position to take advantage of this

Wait for it. The chart below is actually a video. It will start to scroll, depicting how smoky each day in Calgary has been amid wildfire season, dating back to 1953. (More context & data here: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...)

Just want to give a shout out to the winners of the Saskatchewan Department of Agricultures bookkeeping competition in 1913-1914. Man I love looking through old annual reports of the Department of Agriculture…
