Happy birthday to Kim Mitchell, born on this day in 1952! After rising to fame as a member of Max Webster, he embarked on a highly successful solo career. He won three Juno Awards and had five platinum albums in Canada. He has four #1 hits in Canada.

A rite of passage.

It's truly *Canadian* that Quebecor has to sell its shows to an American streaming service for us to be able to see them with English subtitles... Meanwhile the final season of Plan B is on ICI Tou.tv and I wonder if we'll ever see it on Gem with English subs? CBC did not renew the English remake.

"Let the separatist cowboys have their costumes. Let them pound the bar, or promise miracle cures or gold beyond the next hill. We have a phrase for that in my family: all hat, no cattle." My latest for LeadNotLeave.ca. www.readtheline.ca/p/jared-wesl...

The HOLLYWOODLAND sign in 1926 — 3yrs after it was erected. Originally put up as a temporary advertisement for a local real estate development, the last 4 letters were removed in 1949 & entirely replaced in 1978 with an all-steel 45ft-tall version.

From ten years ago. Yet here we are.

I didn't really have a mental picture of Agatha Christie, but what I had was in line with the fancy ladies in her stories. It wasn't someone who probably would have been into Dick Dale's "Misirlou"

"The dirty bird app" will do, thank you.

Trump has lost control of this war and his flailing in Ankara shows just how completely adrift he really is. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Trump’s threat to tear up the 1908 treaty delineating the Canada-U.S. border, made to then-PM Trudeau — an account of which opens the WSJ article today — was reported by my colleagues Steve Chase and Stefanie Marotta on the front page in early 2025 www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

The abrupt way Rogers turned off these stations was needlessly disrespectful to the employees let go and to the people in the communities affected whose listenership over decades supported the company with advertising dollars.

[January 1st, 1981] The millennial generation officially begun. Because 1981 sits right on the border of Generation X (ending in 1980) and Millennials, individuals born this year are often referred to as Xennials.

As one of the many flood families in Ottawa's #CollegeWard, this is infuriating. Health issues aside, scavengers are tossing through piles, making it more difficult for garbage crews. I caught one making room in their SUV for my stuff by dumping other junk on my lawn. 😑 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Ahead of these men, many battles. Regaining freedom in Europe. Ever lasting gratitude. #WW2 #HISTORY Freedom is not free.

“It’s 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark... and we’re wearing sunglasses.”

Pretty wild to think of Saharan sand mixing it up with beachy Caribbean islands, but I've seen it on holidays in Barbados. You'll see what appears to be rain clouds in the middle distance, but it's all African dust.

neither canadian leaders nor the canadian people will ever trust the united states again and they absolutely shouldn’t

Absolutely maddening, bizarre asymmetry where somehow Trump's repeated, real, said-in-public-on-camera threats to commit the supreme international crime against friendly nations is waved away by Americans while Ontario taking US liquor off the shelves is A STEP TOO FAR, SIR

As a Canadian, begging American officials (including Democrats!) to understand that threatening aggressive war isn't equivalent to you being minimally inconvenienced

I know nothing about soccer, but this guy is my new spirit-athlete.

Crazy man, crazy. #IYKYK

Thus it began. And with impact not to be equaled in my lifetime.

Cheer up, USA. One of your soccer teams has won 4 World Cups.

Tamara Lich wasn’t the only one at Pete Hoekstra’s Fourth of July bash I did a head count: Over a dozen Canadian far-right activists and right-wing alternative media personalities, (including from the Juno and Rebel media outlets) got invites to the US ambassador’s official residence
