Once again millions of Canadians literally forget how to drive after first snowfall

There's white stuff on the ground. #Snow

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

THINGS ARE PRETTY GOOD HERE 🇨🇦 PeaceLoveCanada.ca

This is the one I received. I heart this.

Scenes from today. Went to my potato pusher's farm (he handles my snows), in time for tomorrow's snow. Got to hang out with chickens and Oreo, the remaining goat. I brought pistachio cream puffs from Crushed Almond, as thanks. They sent me home with eggs, honey, garlic, and potatoes.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

Fantastic news. That woman who trademarked "sabzi" and then went after Yasmin Khan and her publisher has dropped legal proceedings and is relinquishing the trademark. www.instagram.com/p/DQyqeDKCDJX/

It was bound to happen

Good gravy...it's supposed to snow tomorrow: The perfect time for comfort food. COINCIDENTALLY I spoke with 5 local chefs about their comfort foods for this week's column! And there's a recipe for vegan cottage pie! #FoodSky #ChefLife #Recipes #WaterlooRegion www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

On this day in 1837, the Lower Canada Rebellion began over growing frustration with British colonial rule and calls for Responsible Government. It inspired a similar rebellion in Upper Canada. Both rebellions ended in 1838 and resulted in the creation of The Province of Canada.

Halloween is over, but last week's radio column was a fun one that gave us a glimpse into how local chefs and barkeeps got ghoulishly gifted with the theme. You can listen to it here: www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Ohhhh....I'm sure I can combine food column-ing and Eurovision commentator-ing...

A very harmonious gathering in 1623 by Gerrit van Honthorst. Knew how to paint a good party! And he was born on this day in 1592.

It's garbage day, so the vegan cake of sadness went into the bin bag. The local raccoon tore it, took some cake out, and then left it on the grass. EVEN THE LOCAL TRASH PANDA DOESN'T WANT THIS CAKE.

this is very cool: Kodak quietly relisted Kodak Gold and Ultramax on its website and confirmed to me it is selling the films directly to photography stores again. this is a big deal because for the last decade, Kodak has not controlled distribution of its own film www.404media.co/kodak-quietl...

I've never been a sportsing person but good gravy, all the things I'm reading about the Jays as a team--the relationships, the attitude--and what I'm seeing about the individual team players...It's just so lovely. I'm sure others have made this comment, but it feels a bit like AFC Richmond's vibe..

During the First World War, only 10 Sikhs were permitted to serve in the Canadian army. At just 22 years old, Singh was the youngest Sikh Canadian to enlist in the Canadian army and the first to join an Ontario regiment. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Oh my life. This is a special strawberry. And I got to eat it :) Sneak peek at an upcoming story (might be out in December) #FoodWriter

Roger Bacon supposedly invented a magic lantern back in the 1200s, and here's an incredibly cool looking nun terrifying some insolent youths with it:

Amazon has taken down HB copies of Sabzi by Yasmin Khan after that awful deli owner filed a copyright claim. Such shockingly awful as and narcissistic behavior that will surely destroy their business.

They say baseball breaks your heart, and the Blue Jays are a Hall of Fame what if team, now. So what does it mean to watch your team lose the World Series in one of the greatest games ever played? It means you got to feel something; you just didn’t get to choose what. www.thestar.com/sports/blue-...

💔 Heartbreak in Blue — but pride runs deep. “This is a group I’ll never forget,” said Jays manager John Schneider after Game 7. Through every win and heartbreak, CBC Sports tells Canada’s story — coast to coast. 🇨🇦 🔗 r.pebmac.ca/https://www.... #SaveTheCBC #BlueJays #CBCSports #Game7

Was reminded that Fr. Mike Cundari died in an auto accident, 39 years ago today. At the time, he was the principal at St. Jerome's HS, in Kitchener, and a significant force in so many of the boys' lives. One of his lines was "Win with dignity, lose with pride." Seems to fit, today.

William George Barker is the most decorated serviceman in the history of Canada. For his service in the First World War, he received the Victoria Cross, DSO & Bar, Military Cross & Two Bars and more. This is the story of a Canadian hero. 🧵 1/12

Yay. A cupboard door almost fell on my head when I opened it. The two upper hinges' screws worked their ways out. Can't get them back in because it's MDF and chewed up. Door off. Emailed a handy friend for advice on how to fix it. Extra hour of rest? NOPE.
