Lest we forget. 🇨🇦
Today we honour the brave Canadians who served and sacrificed for our freedom. Wear your poppy with pride. #RemembranceDay #LestWeForget
Vancouver wasn’t always the bustling city we know today. From the rough-and-ready streets of Gastown in the 1880s to the arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1887, the growth of the port, and the rise of the skyline — Vancouver has reinvented itself time and time again.
A city built on ambition, trade, railways, and opportunity. Now that's a history worth remembering! 🇨🇦

November 7, 1988 — Donny Lalonde vs. Sugar Ray Leonard
Winnipeg’s Donny “Golden Boy” Lalonde defended his WBC light heavyweight title against the legendary Sugar Ray Leonard at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas (outdoor arena). Two titles were on the line: Lalonde’s WBC light heavyweight crown and the inaugural WBC super middleweight title (at a catchweight).
Lalonde dropped Leonard in the fourth round with a right hand and gave him real problems, but Leonard rallied and stopped him via ninth-round TKO (at 2:30). Leonard became a five-division world champion in one night. Lalonde earned a career-high payday (around $5 million) and proved he belonged at the highest level against one of the greats. #canadianboxinghistory #boxinghistory
November 9, 1996 — Evander Holyfield vs. Mike Tyson I
At the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Evander “The Real Deal” Holyfield pulled off one of the biggest heavyweight upsets of the 1990s. Entering as a massive underdog (around 25-1) stopped Mike Tyson via 11th-round TKO (at 0:37) to reclaim the WBA heavyweight title. Holyfield floored Tyson in the sixth and finished the job late. It made him only the second man (after Muhammad Ali) to win a heavyweight championship three times. #boxinghistory

Notre Dame 31, No. 1 Miami 24.
CJ Carr goes 29/40 for 319 yards and 3 TDs. Micah Gilbert hauls in 2 of them. Irish jump out to a 24-3 lead, then hold off a late Miami rally (Mensah 3 TDs) behind a clutch Luke Talich breakup.
November 1, 1965
Ernie Terrell def. George Chuvalo (15-round unanimous decision)
Maple Leaf Gardens, Toronto
Chuvalo challenged for the WBA heavyweight title in front of a hometown crowd. He went the full distance against the champion but came up short. This was part of Chuvalo’s long run as Canada’s iron-chinned heavyweight, the fighter who famously never hit the canvas in 93 pro fights (including two against Muhammad Ali). #canadianboxinghistory #boxinghistory
1994 – George Foreman KO 10 Michael Moorer
At age 45, Foreman became the oldest heavyweight champion in history by knocking out Moorer in the 10th round at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Trailing on the scorecards, Big George landed a crushing right hand. It was The Ring Knockout of the Year and one of the greatest comebacks in sports history (20 years after losing the title to Muhammad Ali). #boxinghistory
Last night’s Raw was classic modern WWE: one actually good match (Page/Gable IC title), a Cena promo that still left me confused about what the hell the Classic even is, and another 15-minute Bloodline/946 brawl that ended with the usual “new guy + sneak attack” finish. Page deserved the belt. Everything else was just setup. 6.5/10. #WWERAW

Vancouver was incorporated on April 6, 1886. Just 68 days later, the Great Fire of June 13 wiped out almost the entire city in under an hour.
Residents started rebuilding the same day. By the next year the first CPR train arrived, and the city never looked back.
From ashes to skyline in record time. 🔥🏙️ #VancouverHistory
