Rod @roddlyyours.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I’m liking the Canada-Europe vibe going on. Canada might be saying behind the scenes, if you want us to buy your fighter jets, we expect you to stand with us militarily, because that’s really going to piss off the guy to the south. 020

Rod @roddlyyours.bsky.social · 11/07/2026FIFA 2016 ranked Canada’s men 120th. Ten years later they made it to the round of 16 at the World Cup! Let that sink in for a minute. We’ve come a very long way. 010
Rod @roddlyyours.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Please don’t look down on me for saying “soccer” instead of “football.” It’s not because I’m ignorant of the sport, it’s my dialect. I grew up playing a game called soccer. If we had called it football, it would have been confusing, because football was the name of another sport. 010

If the first thing you do upon waking is to start betting, you are a gambling addict. We are normalizing, encouraging and facilitating gambling addiction. 1101
