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

@djcuse Should have hosted in Edmonton at Commonwealth Stadium

If you attended tonight’s match and were on the concourses at halftime… it’s definitely not ready for what’s coming … and i hate having to write that

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

@SuryPanwar @djcuse Lol be serious, FIFA was never going to Edmonton

@HannahIamthest1 Here’s a good article on Indian POWs including my grandfather, important to recognize the service of other commonwealth nations: #google_vignette" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thefridaytimes.com/09-Feb-2019/pr…

@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

It is notable that PM Carney has put Canada behind regime change by US force in Venezuela & in Iran. I believe this is a departure from the traditional position Canada takes on the global stage, but eager to hear from others more expert on Canadian foreign policy traditions.

@BenSteiner00 Surprise, @CanadaSoccerEN snubs Edmonton...

FIFA announces that the World Cup trophy will go on tour across Canada ahead of the World Cup opener in Toronto on June 12. Here are the dates. April 10-11: Vancouver April 12: Calgary April 13: Winnipeg May 22: Montreal May 23: Halifax May 24: Ottawa May 25-26: Toronto

@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

@jkenney Didn’t agree with you politically, but really appreciate that you’re using your platform to defend Canada and keep our province in Confederation where it belongs.

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.

@stephen_taylor @kinsellawarren @SCC_eng Canada’s punditocracy seem to think a tiny fringe in my home province will force separation. It will never happen, the silent majority love Canada and are proud Albertans.

@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!

I encourage everyone to read The Clarity Act. It's the law, it's passed the @SCC_eng - and I'd expect a former PMO Chief of Staff to have a passing acquaintance with it.

@mikepompeo How about the current US President’s pivot to Russia and aligning with Putin? Don’t throw stones in glass houses…

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.

@GlenWrig @Archaeologuy I hope this isn’t like the 2006 🇨🇦 National Team selection…this Winter Olympics is in Italy again and I hope we don’t repeat history here. #letsgooilers

@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

@BrianDijkema @acoyne Creeping Americanization of institutions in Alberta. We are a constitutional monarchy, not a republic.

The crown is the font of our law. The Alberta court would have no authority without the crown. This is utterly ridiculous. Is anyone challenging this?

@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 @CityofEdmonton @AlphonsoDavies Let’s be honest, the number of away fans showing up in Toronto or empty seats in Van is evidence that these games should be in Edmonton (pending the addition of real grass turf).

@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.

HUGE FRIENDLY NEWS for 2026 Canada looks likely to host a Camp Poutine in January with the only things left to finalize is where and who they’ll play March Camp will likely feature an African side 🇹🇳 🇩🇿 June will likely feature 🇩🇪 Great tests for the #CanMNT !

@CANMNT_Official Solid effort by #CanMNT They can defend and carry the ball up the field, but their final attack consistently breaks down. Canada will be hard pressed to score at the #WorldCup2026

No quit in this group! Cette équipe n'abandonne jamais ! 🇨🇦 🇪🇨 #CANMNT

@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…

'Star Trek 4’ is reportedly no longer happening Paramount is moving on from the cast led by Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, and Zoe Saldana (via @Variety)

@CANMNT_Official Cyle Larin’s time as a striker on the #CANMNT is over

Couldn’t find the breakthrough. Nous n’avons pas réussi à trouver la solution. 🇨🇦 🇦🇺 #CANMNT

@ryangerritsen A minuscule fraction of what 🇨🇦 will have to pay to help repel a Russian invasion of our NATO allies in Poland and the Baltics in the next decade.

What’s this visit going to cost us?
