@WSJ In the Canadian market:
1. Coke
2. Coke Zero (has been for a long time)
3. Diet Coke
On a side note, Americans drink more Sprite and Canadians drink more gingerale (Canada Dry).

As Coke Zero gets bigger, and threatens to dethrone Diet Coke as the most important diet soda property in the Coca-Cola extended universe, the feud between Diet Coke fans and Coke Zero drinkers is getting pretty fizzy. on.wsj.com/4wKhvI5

@TristinHopper This reminds me of the Doukhobors in the Kootenays. They had the fanatics that would march naked, burn their houses, and blow things up. The moderates wanted to integrate into Canadian society. Different times, same issues and no answers from government on how to fix this.

In Canada, it's really not hard to find Sikhs willing to tell the Khalistanis to go eff themselves. If we ever saw some viariant of the Westboro Baptist Church, every conceivable Christian denomination would be tripping over themselves to condemn it.
But with Islamic extremism now an out-of-control truck in this country, the Muslim voices condemning it (even anonymously) can be counted on one hand.

40 years ago, suits & casual wear were far more common than jerseys at Canadiens games. That was more typical attire in US arenas. How times have changed in Montreal.
Not a comment - just an observation.

My kids opening World Cup FIFA 26 Panini sticker packs and not knowing any of the players reminds me of this Simpsons episode. "26 conversions in ad46!".

Across an area larger than Vancouver Island, Gitxsan hereditary chiefs are warning British Columbians with valid fishing licences away from public waterways, saying access “will be defended.”
@Randene4PRSC’s Ministry says public authority remains intact.
But its enforcement plan seems to be: good luck out there, and hope you have cell service if you need police.

@brianlilley The data shows differently on overdose demographics regarding racism, sexism, and colonization.
This whole acknowledgement thing is beyond stupid. They should focus on actually trying to fix the problems instead of memos.

Money laundering is the engine driving drug trafficking, fentanyl deaths, gang violence, and extortion across our province. British Columbia has become a major hub for transnational organized crime, and far too little has been done to stop it.
I have a clear and decisive plan to fight this crisis.
I will immediately appoint an Independent Officer of Anti-Money Laundering, an officer of the legislature who can investigate and publicly report without any political interference.
As Premier I will be the strongest provincial voice in Canada demanding real action from Ottawa. That means pushing for a federal racketeering law, full data sharing from Fintrac to our police, and immediate improvements to security at Delta Port where less than one percent of containers are currently searched.
We will also target organized crime groups and crypto-enabled money laundering networks that allow criminals to move dirty money with ease.
British Columbians deserve real leadership and real results. This is the strong, decisive action I will deliver.

@ryangerritsen These news agencies must get paid heavily for the traffic this stupid content spews out for clicks and replies. I'm not even engaging with these anymore.

@emuaarubeeque Anything tangible - cds, vinyl, video game disks and cartridges. Buy it once and can keep it or resell it. Can't resell a digital copy. People want value over convenience.

@TomZillich Not sure where this data was taken from but to have Miami second from the bottom is bonkers.

Vancouver is #1 after The Action Network ranked all 16 FIFA World Cup 2026 host cities across five fan-focused categories: accessibility, cost, atmosphere, safety and weather, and hotel access.

CRTC’s decision to triple the tax rate on leading streaming services is making a bad situation worse. CRTC is targeting and taxing U.S. companies, putting up new, discriminatory trade barriers, and worsening the investment climate for American businesses.
