83 to go.
The Canadiens open their season with a mature effort. It wasn’t spectacular but it was an intelligent road game.

Caledon, Ontario:
These two stole all the bags of firewood available for sale roadside for the second time in less than a month.
They have enough money for a +$100k Denali pickup but would rather steal than pay people for their hard work.
Make them famous, these people are turning Canada into a low trust society.

Mr Ambassador when doing media about 911 don’t chastise Canadians when 24 🇨🇦 died on that day, we took in 7,000 stranded Americans in Gander, 40,000 of our military served in your war in Afghanistan where 158 died as well as a diplomat, journalist and 2 aid workers. Shame on you.

Chapman's Ice Cream has just done something EVERY Canadian should know.
The largest ice cream company in Canada used to source fruit and nuts from American suppliers — for some, for over 30 years. Then, Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Canadian products.
So, what did Chapman's do?
📷 They called Italy.
📷 They called Spain.
📷 They signed multi-year contracts with European suppliers.
And the vice president said it perfectly:
"Even if Trump wakes up smarter than yesterday, we're about to sign long-term deals with other countries — and the American companies that supply them will have nothing but their eyes to cry for."
Oh, and on top of ALL that? They're COLDing their prices so that the average Canadian doesn't have to spend a single cent more.
It's a family business. No shareholders. Just the Chapman family saying: "The least we can do is make sure Canadians still have the means to buy ice cream."
That's what Canadian pride looks like.
Next time you're at the grocery store — grab some Chapman's.
Every scoop of ice cream is a vote for Canada.

This day in 1942, was a dark day in Canadian history.
Nearly 5,000 Canadians hit the beaches of Dieppe, France.
In just nine hours:
• 916 killed
• 1,946 taken prisoner
• 3,367 total casualties
Only about 2,210 returned to England (many wounded).
Officially a test of German defences and amphibious tactics that provided hard lessons for D-Day a few years later.
Some research suggests a secret goal. To seize a German Enigma machine and codebooks under cover of the main assault (it failed).
Remember their sacrifice.
Lest we forget.
