Gonna make my sports prediction! As a fan of the underdog, I'm gonna give the advantage to Botic Van de Zandschulp against Lorenzo Sonego (at the first round of the indoor hard court tournament in Provence) tomorrow. 😤🎾

Happy first day of the 2025 grand slam season and 2025 Aussie Open to my tennis friends! First match - let's go Leylah 🇨🇦🎾 #australianopen

Meta quietly updated its hateful conduct policy to allow users to refer to "women as household objects or property" among other offensive language.

I was fortunate enough to meet Premier @susanholtnb.bsky.social in Fredericton this evening. Thank you, Premier Holt, for everything you're doing for New Brunswick! #nbpoli

A remarkable day in Canadian politics handled with immense skill and good humour by Rosie Barton, David Cochrane, and the entire CBC News team (and the journos in the FES lockup/the press packs/the control room folks etc etc working for all outlets). Much respect. 👏🏻

The Body Serve is the best tennis podcast out there. Give them your money so they can continue their thoughtful, nuanced, and sometimes salty tennis analysis! @thebodyserve.bsky.social @tennisjon.bsky.social @elliottjmr.bsky.social gofund.me/19aa4f64

Not to be pedantic, but this isn't true! The House is at a standstill. The Senate is functioning. A reminder to not say Parliament when you mean only the HoC :)

Hi from the Canadian Internet Governance Forum! Talking opportunities and challenges of internet governance in 2024. Great discussion so far.
