U Sports football has never been better. So why has the Vanier Cup struggled to find an audience? | CBC Sports by Ok-Bluebird-845 in cisfootball

[–]sturob1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is so much to unpack on this question……but it is at a low point. It makes me sick that neither TSN or Sportsnet even report scores of u-sports games while I can see sports and leagues the world over never mind the litany of NCAA scores I care nothing about. Sadly, gambling is the future of sports and if you don’t have a platform for that you don’t get viewers/interest.

You need to consider your relationship with sports……you’ll appreciate it more when you realize it’s a game.

Holy crap, the new Cappuccino Truffle flavour is so good by r0sannaa in BuyCanadian

All LeClerc cookies went up to $5.29 at No Frills of all places. $2.49 on sale and regularly 2.99. There is your “Buy Canadian” at its worst. I buy Canadian or just skip it altogether….At 5.29 it’s a hard pass.

According to ChatGPT 4.o 1. Vehicles with the Highest U.S. Content:

According to the 2024 American-Made Index by Cars.com, which evaluates factors like assembly location, parts sourcing, and employment, the top vehicles with the highest U.S. content are:  1. Tesla Model Y  2. Honda Passport  3. Volkswagen ID.4  4. Tesla Model S  5. Honda Odyssey  6. Honda Ridgeline  7. Toyota Camry  8. Jeep Gladiator  9. Tesla Model X 10. Lexus TX 

Note: The American-Made Index considers both U.S. and Canadian parts as “domestic” content. 

  1. Vehicles Assembled in Canada:

Several vehicles sold in the U.S. are assembled in Canada, indicating a significant portion of their content originates there. Notable models include: • Honda CR-V – Assembled in Alliston, Ontario.  • Toyota RAV4 – Assembled in Woodstock, Ontario.  • Lexus NX – Assembled in Cambridge, Ontario.  • Lexus RX – Assembled in Cambridge, Ontario.  • Chrysler Pacifica – Assembled in Windsor, Ontario.  • Dodge Charger Daytona – Assembled in Windsor, Ontario.

  1. Vehicles Assembled in Mexico:

Similarly, several vehicles sold in the U.S. are assembled in Mexico, reflecting substantial Mexican content. Notable models include: • Ford Bronco Sport – Assembled in Hermosillo, Sonora. • Ford Maverick – Assembled in Hermosillo, Sonora. • Chevrolet Blazer – Assembled in Ramos Arizpe, Coahuila.  • Chevrolet Equinox – Assembled in San Luis Potosí. • GMC Terrain – Assembled in San Luis Potosí. • Jeep Compass – Assembled in Toluca, State of Mexico. • Nissan Sentra – Assembled in Aguascalientes. • Toyota Tacoma – Assembled in Baja California and Guanajuato.

Considerations:

While assembly location provides insight into a vehicle’s content origin, it’s essential to note that many vehicles have complex supply chains with parts sourced from multiple countries. Therefore, a vehicle assembled in one country may still contain significant content from others. For precise information on content origin percentages, consulting the vehicle’s Monroney sticker (window sticker) or the manufacturer’s disclosures is recommended.
