12 h. ago Canadian Olympians are being paid far less than U.S. athletes

American athletes who compete in the Olympics moving forward will receive significantly more money than their rival Canadian competitors.While competing in the Olympics is a huge honour for all athletes, the money they earn isn't as much as you would expect. In fact, many wind up working other jobs in order to afford all the costs of being such a high-level athlete, such as training and nutrition.However, thanks to a $100-million donation from philanthropist Ross Stevens, there won't be nearly as much financial stress for American athletes.Going forward, U.S. representatives at both the Olympics and Paralympics will receive at least $200,000 in post-retirement benefits."The Olympic and Paralympic Games are the ultimate symbol of human excellence. I do not believe that financial insecurity should stop our nation's elite athletes from breaking through to new frontiers of excellence," said Stevens."Team USA athletes, extraordinary individuals, have proven they can achieve greatness and...

Understandable, of course, given the country's complex colonial history and more renewed efforts in recent years to work towards Truth and Reconciliation.Nothing brings people together quite like a common enemy, though, and who better than Donald Trump, with his tariff threats and "51st state" jokes, to fill the role?As of February 2025, roughly two months ...
