Murphy says, happy weekend!

Woke you up on the Early Edition this morning "Irish Goodbye" by Kneecap along with Kae Tempest. Lovely, sad tune about losing a trpubled loved one. It's from their new album, "Fenian", which made its debut at #1 in Ireland and hit #2 in the UK in its first week, just behind Michael Jackson.

We're almost there - Vancouver hosting seven World Cup Soccer games. And remember guys, "We are literally getting the equivalent of probably 30 to 40 Super Bowls in our city over a month-long period." Literally. Probably.

Ya'll must be swelling with national pride right now.

Can we come up with a new term for "left-leaning," say, "democracy-promoting"

Cooper Alan plays the Cloverdale Rodeo and Fair tonight. He's our wake up song this morning on The Early Edition.

Hey, good morning! CBC's The Early Edition is on the air. Great show as always this morning. Some new data on Ferry delays, Justin McElroy will be here with Metro Matters, and right now a country tune from Cooper Alan. It's called First Rodeo. It's pretty wild. Your weather:

@cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social AB is pushing for a pipeline through BC while at the same time talking about separating?? And, I have yet to hear any talk about what AB will pony up when the inevitable spill occurs. Their abysmal track record on cleaning up orphaned gas wells speaks volumes.

Most of the criticisms of Bluesky flying around out there don’t sound familiar to me at all. But I do wish it was growing more, because the conversation here is excellent and important, and I’d hope for it to be educating, influencing and engaging with as many people as possible. @bsky.app

Waking you up on The Early Edition this morning with a tune from Tori Amos. It's dedicated to the Presidents of the United States and China - who are meeting for two days... "Sometimes I think you want me to touch you How can I when you build the great wall around you?"

So wait, Mayor Baker suffered stress, embarassment or other harm and a decreased likelihood of being elected because the media reported accurately on a council meeting? I think that's an ish-you, not an ish-me.

A small town mayor sued a critic and said he was suffering anxiety because of his claims, and the judge said “you could be suffering anxiety for all sorts of reasons, like the fact Justin McElroy came to your town and said things sucked”

He was known as Mr. Canada and Captain Canada. Every weekday, Canadians coast-to-coast tuned into his radio show Morningside. Many credit him with helping Canadians find a national identity. This is the story of Peter Gzowski. 📸 Winnipeg Free Press 🧵 1/10

The weirdest part is the trades were allegedly executed through an LLC called “Totally Not Barron LLC.”

"Project Freedom"? It's like they're not even trying anymore. Why not "Operation Thunder Thrust," or "Operation Relentless Pounding," or "Operation Pete Hegseth Is Not a Little Boy He's a Great Big Strong Man So Shut Up Dad You Can't Tell Me What To Do I'm Not Crying You're Crying"?

People are always asking me who the cutest characters are in Star Wars. I think, far and away, it's the Ewoks. They're so loveable!

It's amazing that nobody knew they were looking at puppets. George Lucas was a genius.
