Roughly 300 registered Canadian charities send on the order of $400 million a year to projects in Israel — the largest single international destination for Canadian charitable giving. It is all receipted, and the public carries a share of it. supplyledger.felineunion.org

I’m absolutely astonished that this is the choice half of the population in Brazil is willing to make. Yes, that will be probably a runoff but man this is so disheartening to watch. 🤦🏽‍♂️😔

Maybe Ovechkin will go fight for Putin on the front lines like Ukrainian athletes are doing for their country

He's very much in the mold of Thomáš Berdych, but I think he attacks the net much better and has a big serve like Berdych. I'm not a fan of him, but I don't think he's that boring.

I'm tired of people posting links to their paywalled stories. I'd appreciate a note to say if they're paywalled, and save me the annoyance of going through the rigamarole.

Four of the top five contractors are American. This is not what “buy Canadian” means. Mark Carney is not being truthful when he says that. www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

PM Mark Carney pledged to ‘Buy Canadian.’ Since then, $7.8 billion in contracts went to American corporations
A Star analysis reveals U.S. firms dominated federal contracts despite PM Mark Carney’s ‘Buy Canadian’ promise.

The old German-originated model of Sustained Yield Use forestry is no longer applicable in BC nor beneficial for BC forests. A new model that looks for ecological diversity and benefits to local people is needed. Lots of people will criticize the Greens for this, but there is no other way forward

I wonder why this is only being discussed now that Ovechkin has announced his retirement? We've known about his friendship and support for Putin for many years now, but the hockey media only focused on "the record".
