For this monthβs edition of One Day: I spent one day with a priest in rural Manitoba, tending a parish that traces a journey through how the face of Western Manitoba is changing β including a thriving young Hispanic community.

Our new One Day feature is just as it sounds: each month, we will spend one day documenting the everyday work that helps keep our communities going. If you know an organization, program or person you think readers would be fascinated to follow, drop writer Melissa Martin a line.
Finishing up Day 3 in the Paralympic Village, great to see my mixed doubles teammates starting off with a big W against a very good Latvian team! πΊπΈπ₯
So good!

Things to love about Winnipeg
This year's Winnipeg Whisky Festival will highlight Canadian craft distillers; there's also a whole bunch of other spirits-related events happening this week leading up to the Fri-Sat tastings. A preview, for @winnipegfreepress.com: www.winnipegfreepress.com/arts-and-lif...
Hey #Winnipeg have you played pegguessr.fun?

Idk who needs to hear this right now but the pwhl streams all their games to youtube for free and uploads the replays. For free.
In the old days when Twitter was fun and people there were generally nice, I would talk about good sometimes.
I donβt do that much here.
But I do want to talk about Taiwanese spinach.
Hear me outβ¦
What if every cfl fan chipped in $10 and we buy the bobsled teams with all these former cfl players some new sleds

We still get to be Canadian so weβve still won. π¨π¦ β€οΈ
I think thereβs a 15% tariff on Canadian goals entering the US net so itβs really 1.15 to 1 for Canada
I love Tina so much. All time mascot.
Maltais through to the final for Canada
Reposting with a correction. My mother had two sisters - somehow I typed sister when I meant sisters! All 3 of them were the beneficiaries of free public education as post war refugees in small town Alberta. Those are the real Alberta values we ought to defend.
Today is Black Friday.
The best part about this Olympics is that womenβs hockey kicks off again with all these players in A WEEK.
If you liked this, youβll love the PWHL. Donβt go anywhere, folks.
Elana Meyers Taylor a few feet ahead of Laura Nolte and Nolte a few feet ahead of Kaillie Armbruster Humphries
If youβre wondering how close todayβs monobob race was over 3 1/2 miles of sliding, the IBSF has this handy image for you.
Elana beats Laura by a few feet, and Kaillie by about a sled length.
Shocking lack of composure, Team Canada. You wonβt get away with this in future games. Smarten up. #GoCanadaGo
Hockey-related things I wish I could bring back home with me from #MilanoCortinaOlympics2026 to be implemented in the NHL.
-Games start on time
-15 minute intermissions
-No ads on boards
-No betting ad nonsense
-3-2-1 point system
-Raucous crowd chants/singing
The maple leaf is one of the most recognized symbols in the world, and it belongs to all of us. π¨π¦
On Flag Day, show off your Canadian pride: Put up a flag, share a photo, wear red, cheer on Team Canada, or thank someone who makes our country stronger. Letβs remind each other what we stand for.
Now that Iβve watched this angle on the replay I definitely see the double touch:
Winnipeg police HQ closed due to flooding. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
The issue ultimately is that we have a system where things like vaccines and medications are only developed if profitable for a company, not cost shared by everyone and for the benefit of humanity, that is the real problem here
