(Nathan Denette/Canadian Press) 20 comments While Canada may be diving into the deep end against No. 2 Belgium on Wednesday at the World Cup, the team belief appears strong on the eve of its plunge. "We don't hope no more, we believe," veteran midfielder Jonathan Osorio told reporters after training Sunday. 'And we're very confident in ourselves." "We want to show that we are a football nation, that we can compete with the best in the world," he added. "We want to surprise people because I think people still see us as underdogs and things like this, and Canada and the World Cup, they should just be happy to be here. But that's not our mentality. We're here to compete -- to compete at a high level. "We believe within our group. With the quality that we have and our brotherhood we can go as far as we want to go." Midfielder Samuel Piette says Canada is relishing the challenge that awaits. "I think in qualifying we played in a way where we were fearless and we want to do that on the biggest stage," said the CF Montreal stalwart. "We don't want to back down. We want to be on the front foot and go toe to toe with Belgium.

This old Victorian home has a secret: it's part of the Montreal Metro system

STM built new ventilation station within the heritage property CBC News · Posted: Nov 22, 2022 7:40 AM ET | Last Updated: 12 hours ago 1423 Towers St., seen here in the centre, has been converted into an incognito STM facility.
