Bizarre.
Trump all but endorsed Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre in a bizarre social media post implying that Poilievre would help to make Canada the 51st state. An appalled Poilievre told Trump to “stay out of our election,” but the damage was done: Liberal Mark Carney won the election. wapo.st/4aEwTvC
Opinion | Even far-right foreign leaders are getting sick of Trump’s meddling
Seldom, if ever, have U.S. presidents interceded as brazenly as Trump has done in foreign politics.

CANADA 🇨🇦 🏒 FOR THE WIN

GOING FOR GOLD

Led by captain Marie-Philip Poulin’s two goals, Canada defeats Switzerland 2-1 and will once again play the United States for women’s hockey gold at the Olympics on Thursday.

With 20 goals, Marie-Philip Poulin has scored more than any other woman at the Olympics, and all NHL players.

The all-time record still belongs to Canada’s Harry “Moose” Watson, who scored 37 goals in 5 games at the 1924 Olympics.

Olympic figure-skating pairs takeaways:

- Everyone trains in Canada
- Half (at least) of the skaters are from Russia, regardless of what flag they fly under
- the Germans can tango (including a Russian obvs)
- focus and strength get you places

1500 Olympic men's speed skating very exciting. Half of them crashed out, about 3 at the same time. Dutch win and go mad.
