IN CONCACAF soccer, Team USA just lost. That means they will finish behind Canada, Mexico, and Panama. If only Greenland played soccer...

Hey Americans. Cut the crap about Canada as "51st State". Here are some basic facts: 1) Canada as a whole is significantly larger than the USA; 2) Fully SEVEN of the top ten largest North American states or provinces are Canadian; 3) We're not bloody interested. Not ever.

Here, let me rewrite that for you: “While we still have our differences on many important issues, we have also been able to achieve many good things together for Canadians. So I thank Mr. Trudeau for his years of service and wish him all the best for the future.” There. Done.

So thrilled to ride the new OTrain Line 2 all the way from Bayview Station 36 minutes South to Limebank. New train sets are clean, spacious, and super quiet regional-rail style vehicles. Feels very… European. #otrain #OTrainLine2 @OC_Transpo

Just imagine when major bike lanes are removed, and all these cyclists begin using traffic lanes—as they are fully entitled to do under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act. Dare I say...this will cause traffic congestion on a whole new level. The Province hasn't thought this
A huge and passionate crowd gathered at Queen's Park to let @fordnation know that bicycle infrastructure saves lives and is a key part of *actually* addressing traffic congestion. More people biking = less people driving. #BikeTO #TOpoli #ONpoli

So nice to see that Ottawa buses now have designated seating for Billy Idol impersonators. Who prefer dancing. With themselves.

This was really cool!
"A Joan of Arc figure appears riding a mechanical silver horse 'galloping' down the Seine. Her armor is by a young French designer named Jeanne Friot," our fashion critic writes. Follow live updates from the Olympic opening ceremony. https://t.co/DKTAo97N0v

Tornado Watch (not warning) for Ottawa today. The risk for tornados is most likely between 1pm and 6pm today. This is a 5pm plot of the NAM weather model. "X" marks Ottawa.

King Charles has unveiled the first official portrait of himself since his coronation. It is the ugliest thing I have ever seen…
