Is Nathan Phillips Square ever not under construction?

Shake Shack makes excellent (veggie) burgers and their shakes are to die for, but why do they have the most boring freezer aisle fries?

My flight boarded completely and fully on time, and they closed the boarding door only a few minutes late. And then we sat there. We eventually pushed back like ten minutes late, and have now spent the last 15 minutes in the middle of the tarmac, presumably in the way of everyone else, just waiting.

Canadian reality TV star threatens to go full Karen on most powerful elected official in NYC

I didn't want to be weird to the staff by taking a photo but Lee's Donuts has a seasonal doughnut called "Poppy" whose description is simply "Lest We Forget" and it has a red poppy style icing pattern.

Look I'm all for Canada joining the Eurovision Song Contest but we really have to stop using the budget as a throne speech.

Apple TV is down and I'm mad about it.

Me: *types several pages of English text with the language formatting to English (Canada)* Microsoft Word: Are these a bunch of misspelled French words?

Is…is the latest Miley Cyrus single just a Maybelline ad?

2023: ABC refunds millions of dollars of Empty Homes Tax to developers 2025: ABC refuses to use EHT money for its intended purpose, putting 81 affordable homes for women and children at risk What an astonishing decision by Ken Sim and ABC.

And to assist with this, funding for Build Canada Homes inexplicably got reduced from previous commitments. Unsure how they expect to both catalyze new building technology and dramatically ramp up affordable housing with what amounts to pocket change.

Federal budget: "The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation estimates that to restore affordability to 2019 levels, homebuilding must nearly double from its current pace of around 280,000 homes per year to between 430,000 and 480,000 homes per year over the next decade." [cries in 2019]

I just heard the phrase "in the early 2020s" and this was the very instant that I realised we are already in the late 2020s.

Hello welcome to bluesky. We have every kind of anti-government radical left of center, and also, baseball

one thing about my culture is family is not important to us. and we hate food

Anyone else feeling like the sportsball teams are just milking this series for the ratings? Like, of *course* it will go to game 7.

this clip is hilarious CTV: [You've bought a home in Kelowna.] How's that going? Montague: <sputtering> I'd like to talk about that off-screen

In 100 per cent unsurprising news, the bank that supposedly pulled funding from a Richmond project because of the Cowichan court decision says it definitely did not pull funding because of the Cowichan court decision www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/national/cou...

Is it really *still* not possible to break out the Zoom gallery into a separate window while someone is sharing their screen? Like I can do this with the chat feed but not the gallery?

Halloween is tomorrow! A friendly reminder to motorists. 📷 @tomflood.bsky.social

Very frustrating to still see public campaigns like this from Delta PD telling kids to wear bright reflectors on their costumes and people to leave their bikes at home. The risk to pedestrians on Halloween comes from drivers, not cyclists.

Have The Beaches and Peaches ever considered a co-headlining tour? The rhyming alone would be worth it.

Quw’utsun Nation (Cowichan) is reassuring private landowners they have no desire to take homes and is criticizing the mayor of Richmond and province of B.C., among others, for “negative and erroneous messaging.. provoking unnecessary fears.” www.cbc.ca/news/indigen...

I love The Commodore but my gosh I am getting old and I just want a place to sit.

I'm trying to get the 100% on the map in #TOTK and I'm short ONE Korok and eight named places. It was fun up until now but the rest is going to be annoying.

McDonald's seems to have learned from the bland cardboard that was the spicy McNuggets - the spicy McVeggie is a pretty decent level of hot.

Several cafés have closed on Robson Street since I last paid any attention, and all the surviving ones are packed to the brims today. I don't understand how so many businesses can operate at or beyond capacity in this city and still not survive.

Why is every Facebook post now just a tweet from 2017 that's been laser printed, posted on an office bulletin board, photographed at a weird angle in black and white, and edited poorly in MS Paint to add a seemingly unrelated URL in the corner?

I continue to be amazed that nearly thirty years later people are still coming up with clever reinterpretations of Steamed Hams. youtu.be/IjP_0t4qX_Q?...

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull” First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided. With me so far? 1/x

WE MUST BAN SHORT FORM VIDEO TO HEAL SOCIETY

“I think I spent just an afternoon on it.” An annual repost as the World Series opens: From 2008, writer Paul Lukas (Uni Watch) interviews retired graphic designer Jerry Dior (1932-2015) about his creation of the MLB logo in 1968. ⚾️ Full article: espn.com/espn/page2/story?page=lukas/081105

I don't want an AI digital assistant, I just want my phone to realise that when someone on a podcast I am listening to *on the same phone* says the word "Google" that is not me saying "OK Google." Is that too much to ask?

Safeway already has a bunch of Christmas products in 😐

For a brokerage with its roots in supporting credit union customers, QTrade is such a massive scam of a company.

I've made it to season 3 of The Morning Show and something that's occurred to me over the course of this show so far is that most of the guest actors have a history in comedy but this is very much a drama. I have to think it's an intentional choice but I'm also not sure why it was made.

Me [putting sheets in dryer]: please wash these Dryer [ties the wet sheets into a knot]: done!

Taylor Swift tickets, or essential annual vaccine?

"WHY IS THE MEDIA NOT COVERING THIS?" followed by a screenshot of a New York Times article will never not be funny to me

Heard about the Louvre jewel heist and my first thought was “finally, some good old fashioned normal crime”

A certain segment of social media mis very focused on a letter sent out by the city of Richmond this weekend and what a recent court ruling means for the future of land ownership in B.C. Helpful to read measured and informed takes from people who specialize in that area of law (see next post)

"Mr. President sir the idea is you're constantly flying around in a big jet filled with your own shit in it. Like human shit. Anyways you're wearing a little crown in your little shitmobile and you're dumping the shit out. I think people will like it."

It's remarkable to me that my usual weed dealer and their delivery service are both currently on strike. What a time to be alive.

The narrator for this video update from Pokémon Go pronounces the é with a schwa (Ə) sound and he does it multiple times and I realise how irrational it is to be bothered by it but what did he think the accent on the é was telling him? youtu.be/lBqI_i5wLMc?...

New billboard in town 👀

It's weird that Zombie has become a Halloween song right? Like, that song isn't about a literal zombie. Not even a little bit.

I've started the CoViD season of The Morning Show. Nearly 6 years later it's still very upsetting to watch scenes set in the early days of this pandemic hitting North America & even the several months preceding it. I don't think we've fully reckoned with what the first half of this decade did to us.

look at this absolute robber baron
