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.

Watching the F1 75 show. A thread: Sauber looks nice. The green is always welcome. Their intro still wasn’t as long as some of their pit stops this year. No team wants it to be 2026 than Sauber.

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.
