Elaine King - Pro Disc Golf

I’m so proud of Prime Minister Carney and the Premiers who are supporting him. A leader who actually leads and tells the unvarnished truth.

What stood out to me most wasn't the measured tone, the factual data, or even the excellent points.

It was the honesty.

I've watched our prime minister's press conference several times now for research purposes, and the biggest thing I took away from it was simple: he told us the truth.

He didn't sugarcoat the escalation that will undoubtedly follow. He didn't pretend there would be no consequences, and he didn't try to make a difficult situation sound easier than it is.

Even more striking was his frankness about our own retaliation. The prime minister plainly acknowledged that dollar-for-dollar counter-tariffs could raise costs for Canadians and reduce consumer choice while they're in place.

Let's be honest for a minute: governments rarely make admissions like that publicly. It would have been far more politically convenient to tell Canadians that the punishment would somehow run in only one direction, as another leader has done.

Instead, he levelled with us.

And if you listened carefully, the message was clear: we're entering this with our eyes wide open. We know there will be costs. We know there will be challenges. But we're being told the truth about them rather than being sold a comforting story.

That matters.

Because in moments like this, Canadians don't need politicians to tell us everything will be fine.

We need leaders who will tell us what we're up against, acknowledge the sacrifices that may be required, and trust us enough to handle the truth.

And that means something to me.

Good luck to the MVP ladies playing doubles this weekend!

Congratulations Silva!

Ladies and gentlemen, 3x Major winner, and your 2026 USWDGC champion, Silva Saarinen 🏆🏆🏆

Can't wait to see you there!

Extremely happy to have won the FP60 division of the 2026 Tim Selinske Masters. I had a great week, warming up with NC homies and playing tournament rounds with talented women Sherry Herzog, Pam Reineke, and Colleen Dee. It was great to chat with Christine Lomax Huestis and with Tami Pellicane who I had not seen in decades (welcome back Tami!). I am very thankful our division finished 10 minutes before the 3 hour lightning delay!

The courses designed by Gregg Hosfeld were fun, challenging and mercifully well shaded! Matt Knight and the tournament staff kept the water stations filled and supplied hydration mixes to ensure we stayed on our feet in 95 degree weather. I saw many friends at the dinner and opening ceremonies where Tim Selinske was honored.

Thank-you to MVP Disc Sports for supporting me and making the discs that flew beautifully (when thrown correctly!) through the woods, particularly the Vanish, Uplink, Relay and Virus. My thanks also to Sarah J Hokom for letting me squeeze on the end of her flymart table and to those who purchased my signature Fission Photon, Eclipse Reactor and tour series discs. Of course I would not even be playing disc golf if not for my husband Eric Vandenberg who has been unfailingly supportive ( he came in 7th in MP 65).

My next next major is the USWDGC. In the meantime participate in or support your local Women’s Global Event over the next 2 weekends.
