He did nothing other than get a silver medal with his partner. But my suspicion is that he's being used as s dog whistle meme. Because its a White-passing guy not using special gear, often being contrasted against an asian woman who is using special glasses.

    Wouldnt be surprised.

    Equally, wouldnt be surprised at them being behind that Turkish shooter who didnt use the special glasses.

    No, it would be an ecological and humanitarian disaster.

    While Alberta's ecosystem is barely hanging on thanks to decades of de-facto oil industry government. BCs is struggling from climate change.

    Then you have to thank Pierre Pollievre and Harper for the pipeline route that passes through at least one municipal watershed.

    But not Nestle's watershed. They changed the route for Nestle.
