I was born into a family of jocks and spent most of my life in the world of sport. It's why it pains me so, so much that those spaces are so often poisoned by toxic masculinity. Initiatives like this give me hope, though! CU Athletes wrote short stories for boys on healthy masculinities. Go Ravens!

The National Post attack on NDP Leader Avi Lewis crosses the line into threat. They invoke the same religious code words used by extremists who assassinated Yitzhak Rabin. It is unacceptable to use religious intimidation to shut down debate on Gaza. charlieangus.substack.com/p/national-p...

Canadians are very concerned about the contract given to Draganfly Drones. I would love to invite a representative from the company to come on @meidascanada.ca. It would be a great opportunity to explain the deal and answer questions. Contact me. I look forward to getting this right.

Doug Ford has a 31% approval rating, the lowest in Canada. Thirty one is still pretty high, to be honest. What will it take to get this deeply corrupt character out of office and out of our lives, Ontario? #OnPoli #DougFordIsCorrupt
An egg-shaped plastic toy from the 70s called a Weeble. It has blond hair, vacant eyes, and a derpy grin. It’s holding a lollipop instead of a Tim Horton’s egg sammich but in every other way resembles Canada’s least popular premier, Doug Ford.
