Here’s a look at the updated standings at the men’s world curling championship.
Canada was 2-2 after four games. Have rattled off five-straight wins.
And are now locked in a four-way tie at 7-2. Those top-two spots are important as it puts you directly in the semifinal.

@filwell77 @RealAlbanianPat How can you watch the economy failing, gdp per capita dropping, productivity falling, food bank usage, highest ever, entrepreneurs leaving, debt skyrocketing, lowest growth in OECD predicted and all you can say is we don’t like the other guy.
English
@RealAlbanianPat What a croc of shyte.... If this is true Canada has fallen. Dead with a braindead population.

@Stevengolfer @MarcNixon24 And yet our economy is almost in recession, GDP per capita falling, productivity falling, entrepreneurs and their money leaving in droves and debt skyrocketing. But wow we don’t like the other guy.
English
@MarcNixon24 Yes, it would have been better for Pierre if Carney had stayed in Italy a bit longer, because every time Carney is at Question Period, Canrney makes Pierre and the CPC look like the amateurs that they are.
The latest polls have Carney and the LPC at over 210 seats.
English
CARNEY SHOULD’VE STAYED IN ITALY
Shows up to the House…
Gets absolutely WIPED across the floor
Then has the audacity to say:
Canada has NEVER had it so good
Gas is cheap
Housing is booming
Economy strongest since WWII
Pierre: what kind of magical fairy dust are you smoking?
English
@Boreal_Girl @RonaAmbrose @PierrePoilievre But true he only approved pipelines to tidewater. They weren’t built
English
@sandy0696 @RonaAmbrose @PierrePoilievre very little new pipeline capacity was actually built during Stephen Harper’s time as PM (2006–2015)—and none of the big, high-profile “to tidewater” pipelines were completed.
English
So true. @PierrePoilievre is intelligent, thoughtful and down to earth. That’s the Pierre we’ve all known for years: a Prime Minister in waiting whose time can’t come soon enough. When Canada will experience the bold policy changes that will turn our economy around and set us on a path to prosperity.
Lyle Stewart@LyleStewart55
Many Canadians if they watch Pierre Poilievre’s interviews with Joe Rogan in Texas and Bloomberg in New York will find out the MSM in Canada, the Liberal marketing team, has been absolutely lying to them about Pierre!
English
@Boreal_Girl @RonaAmbrose @PierrePoilievre Enbridge Alberta clipper. 1600 km. Trans Canada Keystone 1250 km. Both built 2010 after approval in 2007/2008
English
@mohde @RonaAmbrose @PierrePoilievre And yet all we’ve gotten so far is more debt, gdp falling, massive job losses and a whole lot of talk.
English
@RonaAmbrose @PierrePoilievre And this is why the conservatives will continue to lose. You think Canadians are stupid. Just because he did one interview He’s a Prime Minister in waiting? We need real leadership not some weasel that lost his seat and stole another one. Canadians deserve better.
English
English
@RonaAmbrose @PierrePoilievre No thank you. By all means keep PP as your leader if you like. That’s your choice as a Conservative. But I’m happy with our current PM. Also, why does no one talk about the fact the Harper Conservatives never built a pipeline but get angry at Trudeau who actually built one.
English
@TheRoyGreenShow Wonder how much that cost? Wonder how many people it took to make that amazing conclusion?
English
We've known this for years, yet too many in Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada insisted on voting Trudeau. And what has that brought us?
Boosting oil production could ramp up Canada’s GDP and jobs, study suggests | Globalnews.ca globalnews.ca/news/11739635/…
English
@21bj42 @VincentJCurtis1 @RodAVanier @PierrePoilievre Canada can’t increase production. It’s all private companies. To say the government can increase anything is disingenuous at best.
English
@VincentJCurtis1 @RodAVanier @PierrePoilievre Canada can and is increasing oil production in response to the global shortage caused by the Iran conflict and Strait of Hormuz disruptions. Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson announced a boost of 140,000 barrels per day starting April 2026.
English
Canada is the only G7 country that is a net oil exporter!
Pierre Poilievre@PierrePoilievre
Carney’s claim that he is “releasing oil” is an illusion. He has none to release. Canada is the only G7 country without a strategic oil reserve. Our plan changes that. Strength at home. Unbreakable leverage abroad.

@Wendel44680353 @sarobertsonca Uh huh, nice little conspiracy theory you've got, however, his assets are in a blind trust. He doesn't know what he has & he no longer has access to ANY of his investments.

Tom Mulcair on Lori Idlout: "It's one of the clearest examples of somebody who's saying, 'Okay, I come from a part of Canada that has serious needs. I'm sitting with the rump of the NDP, we're down to seven seats.' Now they're down to six with her departure, and they're going to be down to five."

I just know all of you big curling fans from a week ago are watching the Brier right now right?
English
@canuck_93259 @nenshi The women had one rock pulled for small infraction. Otherwise nothing. British men did as well.
English
@nenshi Both men's and ladies curling teams from Canada where cought cheating then proceeded to claim victims for being cought its shamefully and unsportsman conduct from the canadianteams they bring shame to all of canada
English
This morning, my friend said “I had forgotten how stressful curling can be!” but a great victory for some great Alberta-based curlers!
Congratulations to Team Rachel Homan on their amazing bronze and Team Brad Jacobs from the Glencoe Club in Calgary for an incredible gold!
Team Canada@TeamCanada
GOLD FOR TEAM CANADA 🇨🇦🥇 Team Jacobs wins gold in men’s curling. 🥌✨ olympic.ca/2026/02/21/gol…
English
@ChudLawyer @StangLuverJ @BrandonStraka And how is he going to know in that fraction of a second when he lets the rock go how it is going to affect the rock?
English
@StangLuverJ @BrandonStraka Yes. The margins of error in curling are incredibly minuscule. Even a slight steer leaving the hog line has a tremendous impact down the ice.
English
NEW: Canada’s Marc Kennedy claims Olympic cameras were “premeditated” to catch his team after they were filmed ‘double-touching’ a stone.
Sweden says they’ve warned about alleged Canadian cheating for 7–8 years.
English
@scriber09 @BrilouCanada @glen_mcgregor All the big projects were already in the works. Approved years ago some of them. No actual trade deals signed. Just plans and discussions
English
@BrilouCanada @glen_mcgregor … announced, with others in the way. Big projects need to be sound and make a long-term difference. You’re either not keeping yourself informed or rage-busting about things you either don’t understand or choosing to cast in a specific light because it suits your position.
English
@JohnMar41690080 @BrilouCanada @glen_mcgregor He hasn’t actually done anything but talk a lot and fly all over
English
@BrilouCanada @glen_mcgregor carney has done more to help canada in less than a year
meanwhile poilievre has accomplished nothing in 20 yrs..
and now after getting elected in alberta by tricking the separatists people of battleriver
he's bailed on them
cons being cons
English
@ForMYCanada @dkreative1 No growth in past 10 years. GDP dropping. GDP per capita dropping. Productivity dropping. Huge debt. Record food bank usage.
English
Blaming Mark Carney for global economic shocks is lazy politics.
Unemployment? Still below historical averages.
Tariffs? That’s U.S. protectionism, not Canadian policy.
Inflation risk? Falling, not rising.
Crime? Provinces handle policing, not the PM.
“Aligning with China”? Canada has reduced strategic exposure, not increased it.
A majority isn’t a reward for vibes. It’s voters choosing stability over slogans.
If you want better, start with facts.
English
What the HELL! 👇👇👇
Tell me what the HELL Mark Carney has done to deserve a majority government?
Higher unemployment?
More Tariffs?
Higher risk of recession or inflation?
Worsening crime?
Alining with China?
We deserve much better than this 👇👇👇

@bcbluecon How exactly touching the stone a fraction of a second after letting go are you going to know what your rock is going to do enough to manipulate it the right way?
English
You cannot touch the stone surface.
Kennedy is manipulating the spin of the rock.
It's obviously something the Canadians have cultivated doing in order to cheat.
Juliet Amy@JAmy208
@bcbluecon I don’t understand the game. How is he cheating?
English
@LorX0X @DazzlingNiagara @DavidColetto So watching the economy go down in flames is better because you don’t like the other guy?
English
@DazzlingNiagara @DavidColetto One answer. Pierre Poilievre. He's the only thing preventing a conservative run away poll.
Conservatives don't seem to understand this. So I've just simplified it. If PCs change Poilievre tomorrow, they have my vote. With him still the leader, I'll hold my nose & vote Carney.

@Ingemar4910 @JacobPacheco6 When was the video recorded? Who recorded it? Was it during practice? All very strange.
English
@JacobPacheco6 He did touch the stone when he shouldn't have. Video.
English
Kennedy also added: "He's (Oskar Eriksson) accusing us of cheating and doing something we shouldn't be doing which was totally horsesh*t."
Sticking up for himself and his team. #MilanoCortina2026

"I don't like being accused of cheating after 25 years on tour and four Olympic Games... I told him where to stick it, because we're the wrong team to do that to." - Marc Kennedy. More on the Canada/Sweden curling drama today: bit.ly/4aglnYl
