This is the funniest thing I’ve read in a while. Barbara Frum and Peter Gzowski doing emote dances like Gangnam Style. (Fortunately we already have Mansbridge doing that.)

Bit of a long shot, but do any veterinarians follow me who would be willing to take a quick look at a video of my cat, who has developed a limp, and tell me what I should do? He's being watched by friends in Toronto while I'm in the UK and the local vets are all closed. Poor little guy is clumsy.

Christmas dinner came courtesy of this post. Thanks Lauren and Bari Weiss I guess? (I feel weird saying that second part)

Canadians huddling around the Global TV app

Whoopsy-doodle

This week we unlocked a special I wrote and produced last Summer for our supporter only show. I’m so happy that it gets to be shared with the public today! Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Boy Canada’s fighter jets really do need some updating if they look like this.

BREAKING NEWS: Video game workers at Ubisoft Halifax have won union certification with CWA Canada! The Nova Scotia Labour Board granted certification today after 74% of staff voted Yes. Welcome to our newest members! The new unit includes about 60 workers. Now let’s negotiate a great contract!

I was just expecting an article, but the video team did a bang up job on this. 10/10 would recommend.

S'il fallait qu'une sirène fasse DOUWiiiiIYOUWIYOUiiiiWIYOU pendant une demie-heure chaque fois qu'il neige pour qu'un cycliste aille déplacer sa bécane, le vélo serait interdit par la loi.

Truly a masterpiece from the NFB vault. If you have two minutes, please watch this short. youtu.be/zKjFFBhFAoc?...

Serious question, why do we allow cars to go faster than, say, 120 km per hour? How is that not a government regulation?

Montreal, right now, eastern edge of Ville Marie. Multiple police are talking someone down a staircase. He came out of the house moments ago. It seems like at least one officer had a weapon drawn.

It's not my fault! I'm not to blame! It was ChatGPT, the bot that sent this flame! It's not my fault Sam Altman's plan Made LLMs much more convincing than a man

Albertans are so sick of politicians not understanding Alberta, including Albertan politicians. lol

There is no way you can guess how the thread that ends in this instant classic begins.

Je sais que Bessent, et Trump, et toute cette équipe est au-delà de toute cohérence intellectuelle et xénophobe à un degré qui n’avait pas été vu au pouvoir, aux USA depuis plus de cent ans. Mais, sérieusement, est-ce si différent des discours de la CAQ et du PQ comme accusation monomaniaque?

What the fuck is going on, Jesus.

Oh… oh no… this is why you don’t vote Liberal. I mean I can’t really endorse any of the parties at this stage, but you know…

This was extra weird in Canada where, because of the metric system, we had problems with conversion on our save files. The vending machines just couldn’t handle it at the time.

Happy first snow to those who celebrate

3+ years of striking! Solidarity ✊

If you’ve been along Eglinton in the last few months you might have noticed something large and hairy developing in the distance. It’s turned out to be a massive Lincoln monument-style statue.. with a female grizzly bear on the seat instead. I spoke to the sculptor: www.thestar.com/news/gta/a-g...

Someone jokingly (?) just requested a content warning on an episode because I included a snippet of the Caillou theme song. And you know what? Fair.

So, you chose chaos…

Royalmount pitch vs reality (only phase 1, I know):

The Ford government has announced plans to shred a bunch of tenant protections: news.ontario.ca/assets/files... (pdf, see p. 13-15)

You know what, from now on when someone enters my house, I’m going to offer them cookies. If they accept, they will have to hear some awful sales pitches and have a location tracker placed on them. If they reject, they’re still welcome, but they don’t get a cookie. I don’t make the rules.

Beautiful visual storytelling in this piece.

Palpable tension at the pumpkin patch between the families wearing matching flannel and nice boots that are clearly here to get their Good Fall Pictures, and those of us who just brought our kids here so they’d have a new location to run around and go ape shit

Spanish but no French… wow
