I decided to check out the athletes by their home province/territory.

 

Sadly no one from Newfoundland & Labrador, Prince Edward Island or any of the territories are competing.

 

Ontario - 171

British Columbia - 94

Quebec - 58

Alberta - 28

Nova Scotia - 8

Manitoba - 5

Saskatchewan - 3

New Brunswick - 1

 

Additionally two athletes (Eli Schenkal, fencing and Janine Beckie, football) are listed as other, both have hometowns in the United States.

 

Overall, BC has the highest amount of athletes relative to its population, even far surpassing Quebec in the overall count despite having about 50% more people.

Does anyone has a good idea on the form Maude Charron (weightlifting)? According to ESPN5 (the Philipino version of ESPN) she has the best PB of anyone entered in her weight class by 2KG. Is this a gold medal chance we are all sleeping on?

She's absolutely a gold medal possibility. In April she won the Pan American Championship by 6kg against the Colombian athlete who is the top ranked athlete in this weightclass.

Alright, that really snuck up on me (I don't follow weightlifting). I was aware she was a medal possibility due to her qualification ranking but I didn't realize she had a decent shot at gold. Frankly I never expected Canada to ever win gold again in that sport.

To be fair I only looked into it recently because I realized the same thing. I never expected this either!

She has entered the competition at 238 kg. The Colombian submitted 240 kg. She will ned to be on her best.

    • KHL launches 3x3 championships with 8 teams, it starts on 19th December and finishes in July
    • I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.
    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
