@DimitrisSoudas Je suis d’accord avec vous la plupart du temps. J’espère que vous allez demander aux médias québécois de mettre les drapeaux de la francophonie canadienne et nous souhaiter Bonne St-Jean-Baptiste le prochain 24 juin. Sans oublier le jour des Franco-Ontariens aussi?

@_marcuzzi Malheureusement, en raison des coûts, la réalité nous rattrape. Et en passant, le Québec est 1000% en avance sur l’Ontario avec des terrains intérieurs en brique/mortier, accessibles à coût beaucoup plus raisonnables pour les communautés.

@MatB613 Yep... c'est exactement pourquoi ça ne devrait plus être considéré comme une solution viable pour la pratique du foot dans notre climat.

USA Hockey goaltender Connor Hellebuyck to @BretBaier on what it’ll be like to return to his NHL team in Canada, the Winnipeg Jets.... “Yeah, you know, I actually am meeting the team in California. I’ll take a day. I need a day after this whirlwind. Mentally, this is going to be hard to get back in it. I need at least 24 hours to wrap my brain around this because this has been not only the most fun experience in my life, but you just see the pride in this country, and everyone that had our back and we had their back and there’s just so much more. It’s bigger than the game of hockey, and being able to go back. I know my city loves me in Winnipeg and I'm really looking forward to try to bring some joy back to that city as well and hopefully chasing a Cup, but in this moment, as I speak to you now, I am really enjoying every day and every second that I have.”

@SebMcKinnon We used to pay for the rights even at the youth level, far from the Olympics. It’s a standard practice for sure!

So just found out an Olympic figure skater used one of my songs without permission for their routine. It aired all over the world... what? Is that usual practice for the olympics?

We may have had to turn the temperature down, but there were smiles all around as we welcomed Bonhomme Carnaval to our North Bay office! ⛄️ With festivities kicking off on February 1st, it was a pleasure to reconnect with the team at Les Compagnons des Francs Loisirs to thank them for their meaningful work in preserving this long-standing tradition that celebrates Franco-Ontarian culture and brings families together each winter.

👀 Selon ce que j'entends, le FC Supra aurait déjà identifié 3 anciens de la CPL pour faire partie de son effectif l'an prochain. 1. Loïc Kwemi devrait effectivement retrouver Rocco, Nick et son staff avec le Supra. C'est un secret de polichinelle dans le milieu du foot local québécois. 2. David Choinière, le frère de Mathieu, quittera Hamilton. Plusieurs personnes m'ont confié au cours des derniers jours que David aurait comme plan A de rejoindre le Supra. #FitNaturel 3. Un autre ancien du #CFMTL devrait faire partie des premières signatures du Supra. Mais qui?

@__LFF__ What about partnerships between unis and clubs (or the league itself) When I talk about an ecosystem, that’s what I talk about. But L1C would probably ask $$ to unis for that. And L1C is not fully “clubs”-some are just separate entities willing to pay the 50K to play.

@MatB613 Agreed. It would be nice if same effort went into L1C which is much more relevant than Uni soccer. Even L1C let's itself be far too influenced by Uni soccer. These players "develop" from clubs not 10 game/2 month UNI seasons... We love devaluing Clubs... To sell "pathways"...

@__LFF__ Oh, it is theatre for sure. But the performative theatre is to demonstrate at least figuratively a certain level of support to the Canadian development ecosystem. The NSL had not done that (quite the opposite in fact) until very recently.

@MatB613 That makes sense. In any event if it protects teens it'd protect Uni players too. Also: Matheson was adamant about "no draft" from get go purely from a players rights freedom of movement perspective My issue on top of that is CPL draft is theater. See Gabriel Tardif pick.. 😉

@__LFF__ Unsure. Thought is was mostly for some 17 years old that played a bit. Though this could certainly do it for USports. But I don’t think they have players that play for them when university is off like the CPL. Problem is that you get the player late-ish and until end July.

@MatB613 No idea. My understanding is that they have "amateur compliant" contracts. This would address Uni eligibility without drafts. No?

@__LFF__ Which player is playing while maintaining eligibility and join/return to school? Just curious if there’s one? I don’t like/defend the CPL draft, fat from it, but like I said, our issue is the overall ecosystem and structure imo.

@MatB613 The NSL has it figured out. No need for drafts. Just contract types that are approved by USports to maintain eligibility.

@__LFF__ Late a bit… The diff. is that USports players can’t play in the NSL until after they graduate/leave. NSL was pretty focused on a NCAA pipeline from what I had heard (rightly so in a sense), but overtures to USports is bigger now based on Diana’s remarks before the final.

@MatB613 Seems it's built around university eligibility for the player if they continue to wish to be eligible. The NSL has figured this out without a draft and provides players more freedom so it all seems unnecessary.

Is it me or there are names in here that have already gone through the draft, signed "U-Sports" contracts, even played? And are looking to get drafted again? Can someone tell me the real reason behind this exercise? Is it mostly theater? What's the angle? #CanPL

4/4 If theyre not holding up their end would it be worth asking whether the current system is really serving domestic sport & athletes or just protecting foreign competition & domestic companies wholly invested in them to the point domestic sport requires being fully choked out?

1/4 Great interview with the Honourable Adam van Koeverden (.@vankayak). His analogy about US sports “sucking up all the oxygen” in Canadas pro sports space is so spot on. Sharper than anything Ive typed into this website (I haven't come close to a banger analogy like this 😄)
