I’d be delighted if opinionated people on Bluesky were the only ones I had to worry about interfering in our internal politics. Sadly, that’s not the case.

OK, but at 23 or 25 you can get one of these guys: Wyatt Johnston Andre Burakovsky Brock Boeser Mike Matheson Connor McMichael Jack Roslovic David Pastrnak Still need those picks!

Sarah McLachlan and Blue Rodeo are literally already in the building but for that premier spot the Canadian Football League absolutely has gotta give it up for our guy Borat Mustache Morgan Wallen to sing his hit song, "an alphabetical list of brandnames of trucks and light beer"

There are many songs I’ve heard before but never knew the title of. This was not one of them. Definitely a first-time listen. I have seen Godfather movies, though.

Incredible piece. Just for the record, it appeared in the September 2003 issue of Esquire. That 2021 date is the online publication.

Why doesn’t he just change the name of his state to “Erie”? Problem solved without relying on any other jurisdiction.

“as it escalates its trade war” Actually, Canada has a trade agreement with the U.S. We’re good with it.

'Like all social media, these services will succeed only if there is sufficient uptake. If our institutions threw their weight around, it could hasten an exodus from platforms owned by Trump’s loyal servants and push Canadians toward more democratic online spaces.' Preach, Justin.

Honestly, I don’t care what Americans call Lake Ontario any more than I care which sport they refer to as “football.”

In that case, I suspect he has us confused with Vancouver WA.

Gander’s getting close. Most of the discussion there is pro-Canada stuff as you might expect—not a lot of niche communities yet. Was great for Olympic hockey, though!

I think it’s probably important for stories on the Can-U.S. trade negotiations, particularly those aimed at U.S. audiences, to lead or spotlight the fact that the two countries HAVE a deal, negotiated and signed by Trump, which Trump is now violating

Erik Rolfsen 🇨🇦 @erikrolfsen.com · 22/08/2026

A last-minute requirement that we not sign trade deals with other countries. That’s 51st state stuff, folks. No way.

Gander’s picking up. Not busy enough yet, but it’s getting there. And I think it’s an important platform at a time like this. You can feel the togetherness.

Erik Rolfsen 🇨🇦 @erikrolfsen.com · 17/08/2026

Man, give Müller and Gauld a few more games together and look out.

Erik Rolfsen 🇨🇦 @erikrolfsen.com · 07/08/2026

True. But nobody's going to buy U.S. booze either.

Erik Rolfsen 🇨🇦 @erikrolfsen.com · 06/08/2026

No problem though because Trump’s tariffs brought all the manufacturing back, right? Right?

Erik Rolfsen 🇨🇦 @erikrolfsen.com · 29/07/2026

At this point it all comes down to getting their organizational act together in time for the expiry of those Bedard and Celebrini contracts. Huge stakes, and it starts at the very top.

Yeah, when we put Mr. Pink down I was fighting off guilt and wondering if we should give him more time. In hindsight, not a moment too soon.
