Any truth to the rumour that BC has been renamed for one day to “British Colombia”? Prolly can’t do that eh—have to stay neutral. Which makes it Canadian Switzerland? #MensWorldCup #WorldCup #CanadaSoccer #SUICOL

Ninth season of the Wanderers in Halifax and last night, after an absolutely draining couple of weeks, for the first time I skipped a match while physically healthy and logistically available. My punishment was missing out on literally and fully 50% of our home goals for the season so far lol

FT: Wanderers 5 Pacific 2. When this game started we had scored less than one goal per game and were in 7th place. We are now 4th in the CPL both in the table and in goals scored.

New: One in five older Canadians said they're experiencing a poverty-level standard of living. But that didn't stop the Lunenburg Foodland, which is owned by Sobeys, from axing its seniors discount.

Getting rid of the Nova Scotia passenger train network back in the 90s was a truly unforgivable act of inter-generational vandalism and sabotage. This province literally had better public transportation two centuries ago than we have today, because some jerks decided to go all-in on cars, instead.

My friends and I have gone five straight years of never serving turkey at Canadian Thanksgiving, American Thanksgiving, or Christmas. We served char siu, prime rib, lobster, lamb, roast duck, and even a grocery store rotisserie chicken. Lots of options. It is fine to start your own traditions.
