71% of Waterloo's best engineers leave Canada (UWaterloo SE Class of 2022 graduate survey). And nobody riots. In any other country, a 71% talent export rate would be a national emergency. In Canada, it's Tuesday. The problem isn't the people who leave. They're rational. The US pays 2-3x more, taxes less, and builds things that matter. The problem is the people who stay and never ask why the system is designed to make leaving the rational choice. Canada doesn't have a brain drain problem. It has a demand problem. Nobody demands better. Not from the universities. Not from the employers. Not from the government. The best leave. The rest adjust. The cycle continues. Every country gets the talent retention rate it deserves.

Imagine casually rolling up to your weekly flag football game and the opposing team has NATHAN ROURKE.

When this deal expires, Onyemata will have earned over $75 million playing in the NFL. What an unbelievable career for the @umbisons product. #Manitoba | #NFL

We asked people around the world to rate the morality and ethics of others in their country. The U.S. is the only place we surveyed where more adults describe the morality and ethics of others living in the country as bad than good.

How good was the BC Lions' offence in 2025? They were the first team since 2010 to average 430+ yards per game — and just the third since 2000: 2025: BC (430.2) 2010: Calgary (431.6) 2000: BC (436.7) Will 2026 bring more of the same in BC? #CFL

I usually don't post about players but Sean Thomas-Erlington retired from the CFL. I loved watching him play, I am a big fan. Underrated and not spoken about enough like Andre Durie. Great Canadian talent that deserved more of the spotlight. Congrats and Respect, Job Well Done!

10 years, it's time to hang them up. Thank you football and everyone involved. LoZo signing off the Grid iron. 🦍🫡🫶🏾✌🏾

Do you agree with TSN’s TOP 🔟 Grey Cups of all time list? Which games should be higher or lower? Which ones missed the cut? 🤔 #CFL

Trying to say this for years…maybe folks will eventually start listening…the CFL is way better football than many think. 🇨🇦🏈

The game film says it. The analytics say it. The pros say it. Anyway you slice it, Canada plays good ball…regardless of what “Dave the NFL ONLY” fan says. #BushLeagueBook

Great to see a Canadian CFL player on a Canadian brand. The league needs more of this. #CFL #BCLions

Alabama's unemployment rate is 2.7%. Canada's is 6.5%. Alabama now manufactures nearly as many cars as Ontario. How did the one of the poorest states in the US start outcompeting us? The Globe went down there to find out. The short version: Alabama spent 30 years treating economic development like a serious strategy... landing investments, making it fast and easy to build, and clawing back incentives from companies that didn't deliver. Canada spent the same 30 years writing reports about competitiveness and then not acting on them. Eli Lilly just put a $6B pharma plant in Huntsville. That could have been Montreal. Alabama is no paradise. Life expectancy is 74 vs 82 in Canada, minimum wage is $7.25. But there's a line in the piece that stuck with me. In 2007, the Harper government commissioned a competitiveness report. The conclusion as to why it's difficult to take the actions needed to be more competitive: "Canadians do not perceive that there is an imminent crisis." The authors said you'd get the same answer today. I think they're probably mostly right. And as the Globe puts it: "If Canadians remain complacent, the rest of the world will eat our lunch." We're in a crisis, folks. An imminent one at that. Time to get seriously aggressive about the changes we need to make.
