Perrault. Neely. 3 Cup Final losses. 2 riots. Messier. Bure leaves. Lidstrom from centre. “My contract sucks”. Hughes leaves. The misery list is long for Canucks’ fans—-and now includes losing a draft lottery to, of all teams, the Leafs

WOW. FAKE NEWS FOX IS LOSING THEIR MINDS OVER OUR BEAUTIFUL 175TH ANNIVERSARY DRIVER’S LICENSE. SAD! SO IN HONOR OF SEAN “SLUMPY RATINGS” HANNITY, I HAVE DIRECTED THE DMV TO CREATE BRAND-NEW LIMITED EDITION LICENSE PLATES. I SPOKE TO THE DIRECTOR PERSONALLY (STEVE, GREAT GUY, WHO TURNED THAT PLACE AROUND SO WELL THAT EVEN HARVARD IS TALKING ABOUT HIM) AND HE SAID: “SIR, THESE ARE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLATES WE’VE EVER MADE." THE "PLATES" ARE NOT JUST VERY BEAUTIFUL, THEY ARE CLASSY, JUST LIKE ME, GAVIN C. NEWSOM, GOVERNOR OF THE FREE WORLD. MAILED IN DECEMBER. A LITTLE CHRISTMAS GIFT FROM ME TO YOU (WE ARE SAYING MERRY CHRISTMAS AGAIN, BECAUSE OF ME). YOU'RE WELCOME! — Governor GCN

Vancouver Whitecaps fans stage a #SaveTheCaps campaign launch tonight, amid the rising possibility of relocation stemming from the club's current sale and stadium situation. Government pressure will be needed as well, as it was in 2018 with Columbus.

The money paid to host an F1 is crazy 🏎️ 🏁
Anish Moonka@anishmoonka

Turkey just signed a deal with Formula 1 worth around $200 million. Turkey is the one doing the paying. The fee buys the right to host a race once a year for five years, starting in 2027. Turkey walked away from F1 once before. After 2011, the race was dropped because Turkish organizers refused to pay the higher hosting fee F1 was demanding. The fees have only climbed since. Today, hosting an F1 race costs an average country $30 million to $40 million a year. Newer entrants pay $50 million to $60 million. Qatar pays $55 million. Saudi Arabia pays over $50 million. Even Monaco, which got a sweetheart deal for decades, just renewed at roughly double its old rate. Most contracts also include a 5% bump every year, baked in. Spread across five years, Turkey’s bill likely lands somewhere between $165 million and $220 million. The fee is only the entry ticket. The host country also pays for the track, the maintenance, and the entire event operation. F1 keeps everything that follows: the TV rights ($1.21 billion in 2025), the global sponsorships, and the trackside ads. The host country gets ticket sales and a few local sponsorships. Nothing else. These hosting fees alone bring in about $1.03 billion a year for Liberty Media, the company that owns F1. That is roughly 27% of F1’s total $3.87 billion revenue, and the steadiest income the sport has. Whether 50,000 fans show up or 300,000, the host pays the same flat amount. Some countries have already learned what happens when this gamble goes wrong. Korea lost $37 million on its 2012 race and never came back. India lost $24 million in 2013 and disappeared the same way. Australia loses money on its race most years, but the state government keeps writing the check because Melbourne pulls in around $150 million in tourism over race weekend. Turkey is making the same bet. In 2024, a Turkish company paid $118 million for a 30-year deal to run Istanbul Park. For years, the site had mostly operated as a car dealership instead of a racetrack. President Erdogan personally pushed for the return. Liberty Media bought F1 for $8 billion in 2016. By 2024, takeover offers were valuing it at $20 billion. The hosting fee model is the engine doing most of that work. Turkey just bought a ticket to keep it running.

Ahmed and I have disagreed here many times, and I've never been shy about it. What got Ahmed detained was sharing footage of a U.S. fighter jet crash in Kuwait (something available publicly, and many others had already posted). Shihab El-din has now spent six weeks in a Kuwaiti prison, facing a special tribunal, on charges of spreading false information and harming national security. I will always call out work that I see is wrong or misleading, no matter who posts it. That said, I wouldn't stay silent when a journalist is locked up for doing his job. Free Ahmed Shihab El-din.

@davidfrum Doesn't seem to understand that trust and predictability are hallmarks of good diplomacy and foreign relations, especially with your allies.

Maybe we'll have a US ground invasion of Central Asia. Or maybe we'll have a US surrender of control of the Persian Gulf to Iran. Could be anything really, all decided by the Magic 8 Ball whims of one man surrounded by insider traders, assuming he isn't one of them himself.
