Good Morning #Canada
The #FIFA World Cup Final Draw is today, hosted by renowned soccer experts Heidi Klum and Kevin Hart. The Village People will be performing live so I expect we'll see some Orango Mango Tango from the U.S. president in addition to a comedic break when the FIFA Peace Prize is awarded. Canadians will be watching because #Soccer is the most popular organized sport for ages 5 to 17 in Canada. Soccer and swimming have both surpassed Hockey in youth participation for many reasons but equipment and facilities cost is a major factor and it's estimated that there are over 1M children in soccer leagues across the country. Approximately 74% of Canadians consider themselves avid sorts fans and hockey remains #1 in views with 58% following. NFL came in next at 37%, followed by MLB 34%, CFL 32%, and NBA 29%. Formula One at 24% was sixth overall, followed by Tennis 20%, with PGA Tour and Major League Soccer tied for eighth.

Good Morning #Canada
#HappyBirthday to Lilly Saini Singh, actor, comedian, author, television host, born on this day in 1988 in Scarborough, Ontario. As a well-known Internet personality, Lilly Singh has amassed nearly 15 million subscribers and more than 3 billion views since launching her popular channel of #YouTube videos under the name IISuperwomanII in 2010. She has since appeared as an actor in films and TV series and published the book How To Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life (2017), which topped the New York Times Business Best Sellers list. In 2017, she ranked No. 10 on Forbes’ list of the world’s highest-paid YouTube stars. And occasionally, she lampooned our American neighbours.
