Atletico Ottawa (Canadian Premier League), followed by Tottenham Hotspur.

Rumours are pretty strong that I'm about to get a local club in League2 Ontario, so they'll end up taking over the #1 spot in my support & knocking the other teams down a spot.

I realize Canadian soccer is going to be exceptionally niche here, so I'll give a quick layout for the majority of people who are completely unfamiliar.

For men's soccer:

The top of the USA "Pyramid" is Major League Soccer, which has 3 franchises in Canada.

The Canadian "Pyramid" has the Canadian Premier League as our 1st division, and no 2nd division (plans are for CanPL to split at 16-teams). Our 3rd division is a series of separate leagues under the League1 Canada label (Ligue1 Quebec, League1 Atlantic, League1 Alberta, League1 BC, League1 Ontario). Starting in 2024, League1 Ontario is splitting into 3 leagues (L1O Premier, L1O Championship, and L2O) with promotion & relegation. Below that are various youth/amateur leagues.

For women's soccer:

League1 Canada has women's teams as well. They also occupy the 3rd division position.

A pro-division (Project 8) is currently being developed for a 2025 launch.

How our national women's team has remained so competitive, is something of a mystery.

I like it. Straight and to the point, with the options you need quickly.

I'm curious; what's the purpose of the waterboarding & purse buttons?

Should also note to do this from the web, not the lemmur or jerboa app. The app search functions don't tend to pick up newer communities for quite some time if your home instance isn't already linked with them (ie if no one on lemmy.ca is following and interacting with a community on lemmy.world)

Confirming same issue from lemmy.ca

I found this one, but wanted to connect the new [email protected] community and am unable to discover. Might be a federation issue?

Edit: Was able to join. As suspected, not fully federated out yet. To solve: users not on lemmy.world need to use their instance's website (not via an app) and search directly for [email protected] and click into the community & subscribe. Once done, it will begin to propogate to your instance as well, helping spread it to others that may be interested.

Absolutely create them, but more importantly post to them & where possible, post about them. People often hold back from posting if a community seems vacant, so its important to add new stuff regularly to your community.

.ml = Marxist-Leninist

It's a pretty far left default instance with minimal/no moderation. It also federated directly with lemmygrad.ml which is constantly spewing pro-Putin conspiracy theories.

Don't get me wrong, I'm fairly leftist myself, but it's pretty strongly biased, even for me.

I'm definitely not feeling too surprised at his victory, although I had hoped it would go another way (just about any other way).

Given his prior activities & promises, I weep for the damage he's going to do for the environment and am definitely fighting a bout of doomerism at the thought of 4 more years.

We'll just have to dig in and work toward changing things for next time.

Awesome. Good to see the federation with Peertube. One step closer.

Wow, that is incredibly stupid. The City of Regina really needs an update...

Each city has its own bylaws, so it varies quite a bit from one place to another. Some cities have had officers promote the use of hoverboards and the like, while others are very militant.

Best give them a call. Here's the info I found in a quick search via DuckDuckGo: https://www.dnb.com/business-directory/company-profiles.sask_ltd.dfdadb82f4d8f

I have two small kids. I break the spaghetti like this so I don't have to cut up their plates or clean sauce off the ceiling, again...

It works and it makes it easier to portion on plates & prevent my spouse & I from overheating.

In a couple years, when my kids are bigger, hopefully I can return to cooking without snapping...
