NEW: “Canadian urbanist @BrentToderian teamed up with the city of Paris and, in particular, its mayor, Anne Hidalgo, on a new exhibition that shines a light on cities and global climate action.” Thanks @momentummag! momentummag.com/from-paris-to-…

@BrentToderian I sketch outdoors in Chicago and on a car-free street people stop. They watch. They talk to you. That's when a street becomes a place you stay in.

Are you one of the 69% of Vancouver residents (63% Metro) who wanted Granville Street to STAY a pedestrian zone & people-place after the #WorldCup? WEEK ONE of the extension starts TOMORROW. Emphasis on day-time & families. JUST BEING ON THE STREET SUPPORTS ITS SUCCESS!

Except of course that it’s not a debate. Liars and profiteers don’t make it a debate. They make it corruption. #ClimateCrisis

🚨 Zlatan Ibrahimović on Lionel Messi not winning the World Cup Golden Ball: 🗣️: “What else did Messi have to do to win it? I genuinely don’t understand the criteria anymore. If you look back at 2018, Luka Modrić won the Golden Ball without winning the World Cup. So what changed now? “Messi carried Argentina throughout the tournament, delivered when it mattered most, and was once again the player everyone feared. If that wasn’t enough, then tell me what is. “It feels like the standards are always different when it comes to Messi. Every other player gets judged one way, but with him, people suddenly move the goalposts. It’s always against Messi. “I’m happy for Rodri, but from a football perspective, I don’t think anyone had a stronger case than Messi.”

Important news — the patio TVs allowed on Granville Street for #WorldCup games will stay for the 7-week pedestrian street extension. Whitecaps MLS & Vancouver Rise games? Bluejays games? Vancouver Canadians baseball too? ANY team, all summer. Get your jersey on and “Watch the Game on Granville.”

Messi broke down in tears today—not just once, but over and over again. Every chance he got, the tears came. After the defeat. While receiving the silver medal. There wasn’t a single moment when he could hold them back. At first glance, you might think he was crying because Argentina lost the World Cup. But the truth is, those were farewell tears. He was saying goodbye to everything the World Cup has meant to him. This was the final chapter of a journey that began 20 years ago. He wasn’t crying because of the pressure of losing. He had already won the World Cup and completed football’s greatest achievement. What he was experiencing was something even harder—the moment of saying goodbye. Goodbye, football. Goodbye, World Cup. The journey is over. History will remember that Argentina reached two consecutive World Cup finals in the Messi era, led by Messi at 35 and again at 39. The greatest stories aren’t always about how they end, but about the journey they leave behind. Messi is a legend and the greatest there will ever be. 🐐

This is so disgusting. Spain is having an official victory photo taken. Trump runs in so that he can be in the photo. The president of FIFA runs over to try and pull him away, but he fails. This is after Trump has verbally attacked the nation of Spain nonstop for the last two months. What a petty child.

Whatever else we might think about this “massive” development proposal in downtown Vancouver, that would be the tallest in the city by far, we are all judged by our track record. This developer is the same one that thought it was a good idea to put Trump’s name on the 2nd tallest tower in the city, and the same one connected to the long mess on the Little Mountain social housing site redevelopment.

How will Vancouver’s Granville Street succeed as a pedestrian zone AFTER the #WorldCup ends this Sunday? Listen to my interview with @JasJohalBC @CKNW about working with the great folks at @downtownvan on challenges & plans for the 7-Week extension! podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the…

In case any Americans are still wondering why Canadians are boycotting US products and travel. It’s the illegal tariffs pounding our economy, and these kind of bullying threats to our sovereignty by MAGA maniacs.

@ColinBrown23 @sekeresandprice @mattsekeres @justBlakePrice @KevinisInGoal What reference is that?

@sekeresandprice @mattsekeres @justBlakePrice @KevinisInGoal Well done with the @BrentToderian reference today. Granville is great when the people slow down to a walking pace, remove the cars, and create more opportunities to converse with each other and make the community. Our cities need to do more of this.

Canucks schedule release; World Cup final set. @mattsekeres and @justBlakePrice are joined by @KevinisInGoal and Vanni Sartini, now!

Sorry for leaving out the other football, the BC Lions! #oops

With him, it’s all corruption, all the time.

Paramount Skydance chief David Ellison and his dad Larry Ellison have been sued by a Paramount shareholder who alleges they cut an “illegal” deal with Donald Trump to secure U.S. governmental approval for the takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery. Per the lawsuit, the Ellisons’ side deal with Trump included “the opportunity to improperly funnel cash” to to the president by settling his legal claims against the CNN, as well as the alleged firing of CNN anchors whom Trump does not like. variety.com/2026/film/news…

The replies are Americans complaining. When California was burning, Canada sent help. This is why Canadians have become so annoyed with Americans. Complaining about your air quality while our citizens homes and communities are burning down…

Winners. #WorldCup

And every age in between. #Messi #GOAT
