Very sad to hear of the passing of Ken Dryden. He and his Cornell teammates were very kind to me and to my brothers when my father, the team doctor, died in 1969. (That's me on the right, in my hockey prime.)

Boston Globe reports antics of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem at Vermont/Quebec library that sits on Canada-U.S. border. She repeatedly stepped over taped boundary marker in middle of the library, referring to Canada as the "51st State" every time she stood in Canada.

Ontario is cutting off electricity exports to the U.S. in response to Trump's tariffs.

This is a huge problem as U.S. struggles to get enough reliable electricity.

Even bigger when you consider that Ontario is much greener than neighboring U.S. grids

Bigger still if Quebec follows suit.

MAGA thinks this won't hurt Americans. Wrong. Many poor American students are able to enroll for free because many international students are able to pay full rates. This attack is petty, dictatorial, vindictive, and makes America stupider.
