That’s a wrap on day one of the World Tour short track speed skating.

A crowd of 1750 fans watched Canadians win two gold and two bronze medals here at Maurice Richard Arena.

Back at it tomorrow for the conclusion of the opening weekend of short track speed skating.

"The company calls this approach “multi-pathway,” a philosophy that embraces hybrids, plug-in hybrids, battery EVs, and hydrogen together rather than treating one technology as the universal answer."
Diversity is always better than mono culture.

We have fought bravely in world wars, not shown up late & tried to take the credit.
We don’t willingly elect fascists, you know, the kind we fought against in 2 world wars.
We don’t threaten to annex sovereign nations, like the enemies we fought against in 2 world wars.
You know nothing about valour

“America is first, and Canada can be second,” U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was quoted as saying lately.

🚨Canadians need to flood Elections Canada with inquiries.

Danielle Smith attempting to turn Alberta into a Trump style election environment, by taking voting rights aways from constituents, and removing donor caps by entities, buys elections.

She is down in the polls, & can't win without cheating.

The only way for Canada 🇨🇦 to survive the Trump fiasco is with PM Carney as leader at this time and place.

We may not always agree with his policies and actions but consider the alternative.
