- Grey Cup excitement subdued in Vancouver, GlobalNews.ca, November 25, 2017.
2. Liberty University, the conservative, religious college that has been a mainstay for Republican presidential hopefuls for decades, got its first visit of the 2016 election cycle from a Democratic presidential candidate on Monday.
A Christian rock band welcomed Vermont's independent, fiercely liberal Sen. Bernie Sanders, who is the first Democratic candidate to accept the university's standing invitation to all presidential contenders to address its student body.

In an interview earlier this month, Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr., son of famed evangelist and the school's founder Jerry Falwell Sr., said he admired Sanders's “courage” to come.
Rebekah Carley, 21, said she was proud of her school for listening politely.
“I think it will generate much needed conversation on campus,” she said in an interview with ABC News.
Her classmate DJ Marsh, a fan of Sanders, had the senator's book in his hand. He said he worried his classmates tuned Sanders out. “Unfortunately, I think there are just too many single-issue voters here,” he said.
But way up in the nosebleeds, another sophomore, John Wringham, sat for a long time after the room emptied. Wringham said he was from a conservative, Republican family, but thought Sanders sounded wise and compassionate.
