The IDF targeted a press tent at the Al-Shifa hospital killing Al Jazeera’s most senior correspondent in Gaza, Anas Al-Sharif, and colleague Mohamed Qreiqeh.
Sharif and Qreiqeh are the 261st and 262nd Palestinian journalists killed by Israel since Oct 2023.

Its official @PierrePoilievre will get his chance to return to the @OurCommons on August 18th.

This is not entirely surprising.
Tech companies blocked news in Canada because they didn’t want to cough up millions of $ — way less $$$ than the Liberal government would have collected from them with the DST
And Meta is still blocking news in Canada!

As a kid, my parents/grandparents debated his column. When I was in university, he gave time to me. When my dream job working next to his office came true, he made sure I didn't screw it up. Influenced generations of reporters. Journalism is in your debt, Mandryk.

Mark Carney can’t stop talking about hockey on the campaign trail, both as a metaphor for fighting Trump but he also genuinely seems like a real fan
Problem is, when he cheers on an NHL team, they are 0-8 in the playoffs.
Here are the receipts on the Carney curse #cdnpoli

La Presse found a member of Justin Trudeau's RCMP protection team was publishing maps of his runs on Strava, with obvious security implications. lp.ca/q7cCB0
Mike led my tour around @UofRegina almost 20 years ago… and look at him now! A true local boy who made good, and surely a force in whatever comes next.
Warning Very Long Personal/Professional Update:
I have made the difficult decision to end my time in politics for now. I will not be continuing on with Mark Carney’s government or the Liberal party or taking part in the next general election.

Good news for people of downtown Ottawa. Ontario Court of Appeal dismissed Freedom Convoy appeal today, allowing class action to proceed. ONCA found claim has substantial merit and evidence showing serious harm. Freedom to protest must be balanced with rights of others. 1/2

"My father turned on the news. They said, '[The Russians] are in the city.' I asked my parents what are we going to do. They said we are going to fight. My dad took an axe, my mom got the knives from the kitchen, and I got hockey sticks... I think this is what it means to be Ukrainian. This is our home and we will fight for it."
I still think of Gleb Krivoshapkin's words in our TSN feature on Ukrainian hockey. They resonate today more than ever. 🇺🇦

My new book, WE BREED LIONS: Confronting Canada’s Troubled Hockey Culture, is coming this fall.
Hockey in Canada is at a crossroads.
Over the past three years, I have interviewed current and former junior hockey players, as well as parents, player agents, hockey coaches and executives, team owners, legal experts and sociologists about hockey culture in Canada. Their stories are shocking and offer insights into so much about our national game that is broken.
Yet there are reasons to be optimistic. I’ve also spoken to men and women who want to see hockey get to a better place and are working hard to help young players become the best versions of themselves playing the game they love.
