Trudeau on Twitter: “You can’t take our country—and you can’t take our game” It did feel nationalistically good to win last night, must say.

HCR-citing Hersey (Stars and Stripes): 1/3 of "federal workers are veterans, while veterans make up only about 5% of the civilian workforce..in..2023, about 25% of the federal government’s new hires were veterans;" and “they have been hit hard by the firings," which have cut the newest hires.
