'I hope this becomes a lasting tradition.' Dodgers fans ease Blue Jays' World Series loss with $30,000 in donations to SickKids — Toronto Star
Many fans donated $51 as a tribute to Blue Jays relievers, who put the number on their caps to pay respects to L.A. pitcher Alex Vesia, who missed the World Series due to a serious family matter.

Postmedia—one of Canada’s largest media companies—is controlled by U.S. hedge fund Chatham Asset Management, putting much of Canadian news under foreign influence.
Foreign ownership means U.S. priorities shaping stories instead of Canadian values.

Polievre's "Shadow Cabinet"(?) is twice the size of Carney's ACTUAL cabinet! Umm... are Canadians paying for this? 🤔
