Our pretend facts are just as good as the real thing. If not better.

6 years today the first COVID case was identified in a man in Wuhan marking the beginning of a global pandemic that changed the world. We are way less prepared today to face another pandemic than we were back then. This fact makes me sad.

Apropos of nothing, 'All Things Must Pass' is the best post-Beatles album, and George was the best Beatle.

Everything you do online is tracked, saved, and shared for what feels like a lifetime. But there are some steps you can take to minimize what data is out there. ssd.eff.org/module/how-...

Supper Table Mary Pratt 1969

This would be a lot funnier if he showed any remorse for the journalist he disrespected in that apple-chewing moment (and the many others he’s attacked) Without that, it just kinda feels like all the press and pundits cheering are saying “yeah that was fine, this is all a game”

I’m not trying to be the fun police and I want us to be able to joke around and get along (I love Chris Wilson!) But if we’re going to keep doing these events in the current political climate, the press might wanna be careful about what their laughter and cheers are normalizing

I wonder if this is at all connected to the way junior employees are held accountable for errors vs senior management.

Loving all the Mary Pratt being posted today. Incredible painter.

True everywhere.

John McCrae wrote one of the most famous poems in Canadian history. In Flanders Fields has become a staple of Remembrance Day ceremonies, and lines from the poem have been used on our currency. But what about McCrae? This is his story. 🧵 1/10

Camouflage is important to evade enemy patrols.

Happy birthday to Colin Mochrie, born on this day in 1957! One of Canada's best improvisational comedians, he rose to fame on Whose Line Is It Anyway?. A former cast member of This Hour Has 22 Minutes, he has won five Canadian Comedy Awards and a Gemini.

The people with real work to do use AI the least because it doesn't actually help them? But people who have pretend bullshit jobs where they berate others and lash them to work harder use it a lot? Wow wild. Never would've guessed.

This includes Fraggle Rock, fyi. A collaboration between Jim Henson and the CBC.

Smears of Jam, Lights of Jelly Mary Pratt 2007

@profanity.accountant Ok, let's try this. Probably no shortage of baseball-related frustration.

We can do better than this. Get it lower.

GET. YOUR. FLU. SHOT. IT WORKS

I had no idea Joe Weider was Canadian. Wild.

Chronic kidney disease deaths surge in Canada in last three decades, sparking calls for national framework

It's that time of year. #nltraffic #nlwx

Hoekstra’s comments about Canadians have been so inflammatory that Time Magazine couldn’t tell where his real rhetoric ended and Beaverton satire began. CBC caught the mistake — because they still fact-check. “Quiet piggy,” indeed. www.cbc.ca/news/world/b...

Well, obviously.

Yes! Public libraries, too!

Communities need used-book shops. As the trends in our world are increasingly standardized and entrenched by "predictive" technologies that stifle innovation and reduce human actions into economic categories... We need a full range of possibilities for readers and communities to explore and share.

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture

Canada named most positive leader on world stage

Tim Hortons reminds Campbell’s customers that they also make bad soup for poor slobs

Happy birthday to Paul Shaffer, born on this day in 1949 in Toronto! He started his career in Toronto's legendary production of Godspell in 1972. He was a member of the SNL house band and then became David Letterman's bandleader. He has a star on Canada's Walk of Fame.

10 years ago Mark Carney warned about the "existential threat" posed by climate catastrophe and the need to move from fossil fuel burning. Now he is using Stephen Harper's lines about becoming an "energy super power." This is a powerful analysis on the MOU. markhamhislop.substack.com/p/the-pipeli...

He is risen

This joker needs to be expelled. Why are we even tolerating this? Send him home.

Brazil does what the US is incapable of - sending a treasonous former leader to prison. "Bolsonaro begins serving a 27-year and 3-month prison sentence for coup d'état". [Google Translate link. Orig. article in Brazilian Portuguese.] g1-globo-com.translate.goog/jornal-nacio...

As the Christmas season begins, Canadians look to their traditions. One of the most most unique traditions in the country is mummering. Dating back centuries in Newfoundland and Labrador, it has spread to other parts of Canada. This is its story. 📸 Greg Locke 🧵 1/10

Tom Green deserves a renaissance/comeback. A more 'traditional' late-night talk show, but with his unique and Canadian flavour could be great. Maybe even if it was just weekly. Build a bare-bones studio on the farm and you're all set.

Happy birthday to Alison Pill, born on this day in 1985 in Toronto! In her acting career, she has appeared in productions such as Scott Pilgrim vs the World, Star Trek: Picard, American Horror Story, The Newsroom and more. She is a Gemini and Tony Award nominee.

For any Americans in the audience.. from back when they at least tried to make it _look_ like they held their government to some kind of accountability. www.youtube.com/watch?v=m57g...

Or invade your country? From Theo Moudakis

"I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

"Ten years ago, when Carney issued his warning about the dangerous future, we still had summers. Now we have fire season." Who’s gaming who?

7. ‘biological male’ or ‘biological female’ are malicious rhetorical constructs that falsely assert that LGBTQ—notably trans—people are an ideological movement rather than an intrinsic identity,” GLAAD’s Guide to Anti-LGBTQ Online Hate and Disinformation explains. glaad.org/biological-m...

I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

So the free radon test kits from the City of St. John's ran out and the waitlist filled up in less than two minutes. That kind of sucks. #YYT

Gonna tell my grandkids this was the Jonas Brothers.

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

“Universities have a duty of care for their students and the local community,” EFF’s @falsemirror.masto.nyc.ap.brid.gy told @TheIntercept.com. “Surveillance systems are a direct affront to that duty for both.” theintercept.com/2025/11/24/...
