@djcuse To add to this, people in Edmonton actually fill the stadium to capacity, something that doesn’t happen in Vancouver or Toronto…

@bmalcolm__ @djcuse Edmonton has hosted plenty of international events. Aside from Toronto being a larger city, Commonwealth has far superior infrastructure to BMO Field.

@HannahIamthest1 My grandfather 2nd Lt. Abhey Singh was an officer in that regiment (18th King Edward’s), also taken prisoner at Bir Hacheim.

At age 70, a British officer raised a service revolver at an Italian tank and fired until the chamber clicked empty. He was taken prisoner. His captors looked at him, the grey hair, the age, and concluded he would not fight again. They released him with no conditions attached. He went straight back to war. What the Italians did not know was the weight of the man they were releasing. He had commanded gunboats on the Nile under Kitchener. He had stood on the bridge of a capital ship at Jutland. In 1919, with a small British naval squadron and audacity that outran his formal orders, he had held a line in the Baltic long enough for Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Finland to survive as free nations. Andrew Cunningham, the finest British admiral of the Second World War, commanded his destroyers in that campaign and later documented in print what he had learned from the experience. By 1927, he held the rank of full Admiral. In 1931, the Navy retired him. Standard procedure. The institution had a form for it. When war came again in 1939, he petitioned the Admiralty for a posting. They had nothing for a man of 68. So he found another way in, accepting the rank of Commander, five full grades below the rank he actually held, and went to the Western Desert as a Commando without recorded complaint. He attached himself to an Indian cavalry regiment. He was there, in the Libyan sand, when the tank appeared. His name was Admiral Sir Walter Cowan. After repatriation in 1943, he returned to Italy with the Commandos and was awarded a Bar to a DSO first won in 1898, forty-five years between a decoration and its Bar, a gap almost certainly unmatched in the history of the British military. The nations his 1919 squadron protected have not forgotten him. His own country largely has. Most people reading this will not recognise his name. An Admiral who served from Queen Victoria's Navy through to the Italian campaign, and who outlasted every institutional definition of what a man his age was supposed to be. Some men cannot be filed away. The forms were never designed for them.

@MatinaStevis No one is going to weep over the theocratic govt in Iran. Not its citizens, the intl community or 🇨🇦(facing foreign interference from Iran). Carney made the right call, realpolitik matters. For left leaning LPC members, Trudeau would have made the same statement. #cdnpoli

@onesoccer Should have hosted the #FIFAWorldCup in a proper stadium (Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton). With the grass turf brought back, it’s a far superior facility to BMO. Canada Soccer should have supported the City of Champions. #yegcc

Is Concacaf president Victor Montagliani satisfied with the legacy in infrastructure that the 2026 World Cup could have in Canada? 🇨🇦 "We have to be frank and honest... less satisfied. We are behind the curve as it relates to infrastructure." #CanMNT | #CanWNT | #CPLsoccer

This is just the beginning, and totally predictable. Having failed in Trump’s stated intent to use “economic pressure” to “annex Canada,” they will now openly support Alberta separatism. Before Alberta becomes the next Greenland, Ottawa should quietly telegraph to the Administration serious potential reprisals, and begin lining up allied support in the same way that Denmark did very effectively.

Bessent pushes Albertan independence from Canada: "Albertans are very independent people. There's a rumor they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or not. People are talking. People want sovereignty. They want what the US has got."

@kinsellawarren @SCC_eng Britain should have had a Clarity Act. It would have stopped those revolutionaries in their tracks. France would have thrown up their hands. Sorry George Washington! Britain has the Clarity Act!

Mark Carney's decision to pivot toward China is a grave strategic and moral error. Beware any leader who would sell out his country for a mess of pottage.

@Archaeologuy It's that sort of thinking that led Olympic teams of the past to put players like Shane Corson and Rob Zamuner on the roster.

When people say you can’t have Makar and Bouchard on the same team, it reminds me of those brutal Oiler teams that operated like teams had 1 top line, then a much worse second line, then a checking line, and pluggers for the 4th. They built teams like there was a limit for talent

@MarkJCarney @ABDanielleSmith Great news for all Canadians. Non-renewable resource extraction is necessary for prosperity. 🇨🇦 can combat climate change, but living standards need to be addressed first in post pandemic era. @liberal_party members should support this. #cdnpoli

Premier @ABDanielleSmith and I have agreed to a framework built on shared ambitions — to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, unlock the full potential of Alberta’s energy resources, and build a stronger, more sustainable, more competitive economy.    Here’s what we want to achieve, together: pm.gc.ca/en/news/news-r…

@torontomaplefc2 Give the #CanMNT friendly vs 🇩🇪 in June 2026 to @CityofEdmonton , good vibes from @AlphonsoDavies hometown before the start of the tourney and bring Leon Draisaitl too. Commonwealth is a proper outdoor football stadium and this would be consolation for denying Etown the FIFA WC.

@CultureCrave @Variety Star Trek films are critical to gain new fans from the general public, just as they did in the 1980s. With mono culture over, I don’t think TV will be enough to sustain the franchise past another decade…
