Luckily Toronto sports fans have trained for exactly this scenario.

Shame Canada couldn't win gold at hockey, but on the bright side, they've probably saved their nation from the imposition of 1000% punative tariffs on goods into the USA

By forcing the Liberals to maintain CERB, implement Daycare, Dental & Pharmacare Jagmeet might be one of the most effective NDP leaders in recent years. I suspect that if Charlie Angus (current darling of the center left) had done the exact same things he would be lauded as a genius. Wonder why?

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

I have often said (in the Toronto context) that since all city councillors get monthly passes for the TTC, they all should be required to take transit to City Hall at least once a month. Those who sit on the TTC Board should have to take it once a week.

Left unsaid: the Jets are the last placed team in the #NHL #HaveToMakeFunOfMyLeafsLovingFriends #GoHabsGo

Having been born on this day in 1957, I am somewhat susceptible to tv adverts we see at this time of year, ones that use the festivities of the 1970s as a means of evoking nostalgia for Christmases gone by. I think this one may have gone a bit too far however.

40 years ago, in Grade 6 we spent a week at the Island School, leaning about the environment. One night we went for a walk and we ended up with a view of the coastline. Still remember it. Aside from the CN/Bay St. Towers it was flat and beautiful. Now it would be so cluttered, a wall of towers.

The Yankees are on the brink of going home. I am tumescent. I cannot be a tormented but loyal fan of the Baltimore Orioles and be anything less. Also, Canada deserves something nice. We've been assholes to them for a while now.

The first Peanuts strip by Charles M. Schulz was published on October 2, 1950.

Early Peanuts absolutely rules

I always saw Coldplay as Radiohead for people who thought Radiohead got weird after The Bends.

@aoc.bsky.social No caption needed.

Isn't this standard for the right? Freedoms for me, but none for thee.

“Mom?” “Yeah?” “I’m pregnant.” “WHAT?”

Maybe it's because I'm Canadian, but it was interesting to listen to the latest @unclearpod.bsky.social episode on Contact and hear @jamellebouie.net get so close and miss the point. He talked about Independence Day and Contact as opposites with respect to American Hegemony. (Post 1)

I've long believed that everyone on the TTC board (and preferably the entire Council) be required to take TTC from their home to City Hall once a month. The reality of transit commuting would hit home and service levels would increase. H/t @shawnmicallef.bsky.social
