Hopefully, more people appreciate Jaccob Slavin's game after that tournament. He's the best defender in the NHL. He has been for years now. He doesn't get many sniffs in the Norris because he doesn't put up points. But he's the best defenceman at defending.

1/ A quick thread: I started reporting on this fund in May 2022, after NDP MP Leah Gazan discovered – more than a year into the initiative – that virtually no money had yet been spent. And since 2023, I’ve been collecting documents through access-to-information requests, receiving about 500 pages.

NEW: In 2021, the federal government launched a $724.1 million fund, largely meant to finance new emergency shelters for Indigenous women and children escaping violence. Four years later, nearly half a billion dollars of it remains unspent. NO PAYWALL ⬇️ www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews...
