Appreciate all the partners coming together to keep the Whitecaps here. The City, Province, Federal Government, Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations, PavCo, and private partners are aligned on a path forward.

@MikeKlassen @WhitecapsFC Mike, surprised you’re in favour. the CoV will give a chunk of PNE land to a FN devt corp which will in turn get provincial and federal money to build a stadium, while a private consortium buys the team. An interesting way of laundering tax $ under the guise of reconciliation.

Historic alignment by this group in an effort to #SaveTheCaps ⚽️🏟️ @WhitecapsFC “belong in Vancouver”
Mayor Ken Sim@KenSimCity

Today’s joint commitment from The City, Province, Federal Government, Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations and PavCo sends a clear message: we are aligned behind a shared vision for the future of soccer in this city. From improving the game day revenue model to exploring long-term stadium opportunities, partners are working together to build something that reflects the ambition of Vancouver and our region. The Whitecaps belong in Vancouver.

Can’t overstate how vitally important it was to have all the major stakeholders in one room together - now there is officially framework in place for potential new owners (2 local groups) to get serious and move the Whitecaps forward here in VANCOUVER.

Fingers crossed on that community centre!
Utah Mammoth@utahmammoth

Smith Entertainment Group and Intermountain Health announce creation of a world-class sports performance center co-located with Utah Jazz and Utah Mammoth Practice Facilities and partnership beginning July 1, 2026. This first-of-its-kind campus combines NBA and NHL practice facilities with a state-of-the-art sports medicine center, providing a competitive advantage unlike anything in professional sports.

@samanthacp_ We don’t have a supply problem, we have a storage problem. No new capacity to the reservoir system in decades. North Shore mountains get 2000 mm of precipitation per year.

call me sceptical, but if there were enough rainwater to harvest from the roof of bc place to power a data centre, you probably wouldn't need to worry about whether you could water your plants outside of 5am to 9am on may 1 lol

@ThomasDrance Funny how HC is with goalies, they seem determined to make Ivankovic the next one when he clearly isn’t just because he was the best goalie at 16. Ravensberger is better.

Brad West@BradWestPoCo·
The real story of our success in Port Coquitlam isn’t just that we now have the lowest average property taxes and utility fees of any city in the region, it’s also that we achieved it while improving the services people rely on every day. Take curbside glass pickup. Not long ago, residents had to load up their cars and drive to a depot. It was inconvenient, and the result was predictable: too much glass ended up in blue bins or the garbage. So we fixed it. Today, curbside glass pickup is delivered directly to homes that receive City waste services. It’s done efficiently, reliably, and by our own crews. It’s a better service, it’s easier for residents, and it’s the kind of practical improvement that makes a real difference in people’s lives. It’s just one example of what’s possible happens when you stay relentlessly focused on core municipal services, and you’re willing to constantly assess, improve, and adapt. We believe that good government isn’t about doing less or doing more — it’s about doing what matters, and doing it well.

@TheStanchion Like hiring Adam Foote because he was familiar with all the problems from the year before.

“Has been a GM before!” is not a benefit when it was a complete disaster. It’s like hiring Bernie Madoff to run your finances because of his previous experience. This is going to be met with such vitriol from this market.

Detroit makes all sorts of sense as a PWHL expansion market. Diehard hockey market, Takeover Tour games sold well, great newer arena. They were always going to be one of the next four.
Sean Shapiro@seanshapiro

Don't know what the announcement officially is, but Ilitch Sports and the City of Detroit are making an announcement/have a press conference on Wednesday. You can surmise yourself what that means, but it's hockey related from my understanding.

@BenSteiner00 St Clair was not good. Always way too deep in his box. Never saves shots from distance unless they are right at him. Crepeau on the other hand was immense.

Absolutely INSANE Florida Derby for the #CanMNT GKs. Orlando City came back from a 3-0 deficit to win 4-3 in the craziest game of the season. 🇨🇦St. Clair - 5 saves, including a breakaway face-stop 🇨🇦Crépeau - 7 saves, including a four-save sequence.

@ThomasDrance Maybe Utah’s team of small fast guys plus Lawson Crouse just isn’t a model for winning in the playoffs. They look like Carolina west and came up empty just like the Canes have year after year.

Utah leaving their goalie in down 3 with their season on the line with an offensive zone draw and just over 5 minutes to play. Coaching edge was decisive for Vegas in this series, especially given the problems they had against the top of Utah’s lineup. Kudos to Torts.

@yarotrof @shashj @Ce_Moll Time to build a Suez Canal style canal across the base of the peninsula. Use that oil money for an old fashioned infrastructure project.

I’ve just written about something that doesn’t get enough attention, the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada, and the very real connection between communities here and the war back home. From speaking in Edmonton to meeting the family of a fallen soldier, this one is personal. If you want to understand how this war reaches far beyond Ukraine’s borders, give it a read and share 🇺🇦 open.substack.com/pub/shaunpinne…

@justBlakePrice They should be, but until Amar and Axel came along, things always seemed frosty between the Lions and Caps. The Province doesn’t seem to care one way or another whether BC Place is used or not. The # of non sporting events each year is minimal (< 1 per month).

@BrinksGreg2 The lions and whitecaps could be partners of sorts though. And the province certainly has reason to keep both of these institutions healthy.
