Welcome back to Our Readers Write, our weekly round-up of the sharpest, most thoughtful comments left on The Hub, chosen with the help of your thumbs-up. Alberta dominated the conversation again this week, and our readers brought family history, constitutional memory, and plain-spoken demands to the question of what a fair deal within Confederation looks like. Elsewhere you pulled out Edmund Burke to referee a debate about conservatism’s future, ran the arithmetic on a new pipeline, took the Nobel committee to task, and argued for a feminism with room for mothers. As always, it is the reasoning, not the volume, that earns a spot here. Thank you for writing.

A moment during Jay-Z’s recent concert in Paris summed up where soccer sits in culture today
There was a moment during Jay-Z’s recent concert in Paris that, for me, pretty much summed up where football sits in culture today. There wasn’t a ball being kicked. There wasn’t a match being played. Jay-Z walked onto the stage at the Stade de France wearing a one-of-a-kind, black-and-white, football-inspired shirt — by Louis Vuitton, designed by Pharrell — with the number 30 on the back marking 30 years since Reasonable Doubt.
