Pat Bulmer @patbulmer1.bsky.social · 04/10/2026All of a sudden TSN and other Cdn soccer announcers have fallen in love with the term brace to describe 2 goals in a soccer game. Not a term I heard commonly used, or at all, till last month or two. 000

Pat Bulmer @patbulmer1.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Interesting development in BC election. Sounded like Wooldridge had left Kelowna politics for good.

Pat Bulmer @patbulmer1.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I'm liking Avi Lewis's approach in many cases to being an opposition politician.

On other hand, when the Carney gov't does something at least partially right, he says so (unlike the other guy). 010
