Digital sovereignty in Canada isn’t a policy debate happening somewhere above you. You opened Gmail this morning, took a Zoom call after that, and wrote everything up in Microsoft Office, and every bit of it is sitting on an American…
Curling controversy just turned a gentleman’s sport into something else entirely. You’re watching players touch stones after releasing them, caught on video by fans in the stands, and officials are issuing statements instead of penalties. The rule is clear: once…
