Something something rivalry. That’s the USA-Canada narrative, right? At least from the Canadian side; it’s my general impression that while US fans enjoy the USWNT beating our northern neighbors, there’s not really a burning need to bring the hammer down, not the way there might have been five or 10 years ago.

On Tuesday, the Canadian women’s national team announced its 23-player roster for the 2021 SheBelieves Cup presented by Visa. The four-team tournament is slated to begin on Thursday with Canada kicking things off against the hosts and current World No. 1: the United States.
Priestman, who was appointed as Head Coach of the women’s national team back in November, has helped name a squad that includes a mixture of veterans and youngsters. Among those named are 12 players that were part of the first Canadian Olympic team to win back-to-back medals at a summer Olympic Games in more than a century at Rio 2016 and five others who could make their debut for the senior side.
“My editor broke the news to me that publishers’ profits, and therefore advances, were down, so most novelists were going to need two jobs,” Holman recalled. “I’d earned $9,000 on my writing the year before …. I needed
one job that paid enough to live on.” Then she heard from a novelist friend who’d moved to L.A. and was making “big bucks” in an HBO writers room. “I decided to teach myself to write for TV.”
