As they normally do, Japanese fans made sure to clean the stadium before they left. #FIFAWorldCup

Ciclismo is alive and well. Congratulations Julian Alaphilippe. Done more for the popularity of this sport than he's given credit for.

10 seconds is the biggest ever winning margin in Fleche Wallonne, when the riders have started the final climb up Mur de Huy all together.

Press release from the Trump White House defending tariffs. Note: defence spending is raised here. One thing Cdn govt has made no new promises on is defence spending. Concerning: the first time NORAD has been mentioned and indicates a misunderstanding of the arrangement. NORAD is critical for our sovereignty. However Canada neglected defence spending and NORAD at our peril. And now here we are. The Biden administration and the Obama administration were also frustrated with Canada’s low defence spending and the Biden admin in particular was very annoyed that when we finally committed to more NORAD spending it was rushed, no clear source initially and stretched over 20 years with accrual accounting. Before I was a journalist I spent years studying and writing about NORAD. Will do a more detailed thread in the future. Canada needs NORAD.

Trump again calls for Canada to become the 51st state after levelling tariffs… The President previously state he would use economic pressure to try to force Canada into an economic union

Ontario’s doctors are asking all Party Leaders to prioritize patient care. 2.5M Ontarians lack a family doctor—soon 4M. EDs are closing due to doctor shortages. Wait times are among the worst globally. @fordnation @BonnieCrombie @MikeSchreiner @MaritStiles — What’s your plan?
