Sinclair cheers
The world's all-time leader for international goals scored for men or women, Canada’s Christine Sinclair reacts to the victory. She just posted this video to her IG story. “I’m crying,” she said, looking at the camera. “OK! Let’s book our flight” she then said.

Proud to be Canadian today:
Canada’s run to the round of 16 at the World Cup [gift link] has drawn the attention of FIFA’s technical study group.
The panel features a who’s who of football talent under the guidance of Arsène Wenger, FIFA’s chief of global football development and former Arsenal manager.
The group’s findings at the conclusion of the tournament’s group stage were released Monday at a news conference in Miami.
Canadian Luc de Fougerolles topped the FIFA power rankings for defenders with a score of 7.4 out of 10, ahead of Spain’s Rodri and Aymeric Laporte, both at 7.3. Fellow Canadian Derek Cornelius was ninth at 7.1.
The rankings, new to the World Cup, are considered a measure of match and tournament performance with players receiving a score for each outing and for their overall performance in the tournament....
When it comes to bench strength, the Canadian men were tied for second with Switzerland and Germany with three goals from substitutes. Senegal topped the list with four....
Jesse Marsch’s aggressive pressing style and the fact that the Canadian men have faced several teams playing a low defensive block is shown by the fact that Canada led the tournament in highest defensive line during the group stage.
Canada was also among the leaders in average ball recovery time.
In other words, the Canadians are playing high up the field in pressing their opponent – and using the press to win the ball back quickly....
And this makes Marsch a great coach:

accidentally went to work at a coffee shop that all the Morocco fans were at and instead of work they fed me dinner and taught us all the cheers. I love the world cup.

Catching up with the news
I hadn't realised that Treaty Six was signed 150 years ago. BYW, Saskatoon is on Treaty Six territory:
This year marks the 150 anniversary of the Treaty 6 signing and as a special commemoration, grade 12 students from Chief Ahtahkakoop School walked 140kms from Ahtahkakoop Cree Nation to Fort Carlton where the treaty was signed.

Thus the need for so many DHS Concentration Camps, I guess...DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin: "You gotta dig in and go find the people that are deeply hiding. At some point the self-deportation numbers are going to start decreasing, and we are gonna have to go start rounding all these individuals up."

Some observations about the Trump era:
I miss the great American tradition of not thinking about the president constantly.
— The Volatile Mermaid (@ohnoshetwitnt.bsky.social) June 28, 2026 at 1:17 PM
The Trump regime has trained the media to accept the idea that constant lying is part of a president's official duties. And the media have trained the public to accept it, too.

Any politician or political party that doesn't understand how the opposition to Trump is now causing transformative change in America is going to lose.
Canada knows this profound anger - we've been feeling it for the last 18 months. Now it seems to be happening in America too, and its going to change the American political landscape just like it did in Canada. Politicians need to go with it or get out of the way.
I'll tell you one thing, any Democratic 2028 presidential candidate who says they're going to "restore balance" and not fire every last Trump appointee on every commission on their first day in office doesn't deserve a single primary vote
